A slightly short game, but if you did it alone in 24 hours the game is already insane. Pretty fun to play, the controls feel gameboyish (not too easy nor too tricky), nice graphics and fun story...
I actually want more (゜▽゜)

This is a case where I wished the GameBoy hardware wasn't so restrictive. I want to break more things!!!!
Nice concept, lovely character, looking forward to breaking more stuff!

Siren Cat in Spacepretty good! I took some time to understand the controls, but once I did, I have a blast!

Above the SkyCool submission ! I guess you were right with making a manual because for some reason I got stuck on level 2 for way too long.
Also the weird graphic glitches really enhances the Gameboy feeling.

SPACE BAR CADETNice work, its great to see a wario-like in the jam! it was fun ransacking the place.
Regarding the items remaining counter, did you try pinning it to the screen?

Unknown Space: GBJam11 EditionCrazy that you made this in 24 hours very nice work. I love the Warioland inspired sprites and the the dialogue adds a lot of character to Oliver. Wish I could play this on a Gameboy but sadly I don't have one :(

CowcatcherVery neat little game! Always neat to see some Warioland-style graphics, that's a bit of my childhood right there, and the demolition idea's a fun one I'd love to see more of.
I understand the controls complaint - since I went in blind, when I pressed the X key and nothing happened, I just assumed the "B" key was on something else. Two drownings and several key presses later, I used the hammer by accident and from there could figure out the controls. I saw you'd planned for a normal B action, which would handily solve this issue - if you end up adding that action later, I think an up+B attack would truly complete the different-directions-for-different-moves thing!
Also I love the sprite art. It's got so much charm going on straight from the title screen, and I can easily see it among my gameboy games.
PS: At first, I thought the third level was me going to wreck my employer's house as revenge for making me wreck that outhouse. Still not entirely sure I was wrong, because that was a really good chair.
PPS: Some bugs - if you press "continue" after clearing the game, you get to see Oliver's body floating in the top left corner. And if you hit "new game" after clearing the game without refreshing the browser, it just replays the ending!

Chase the StarsYe idk why the bug on the last stage happens. something wrong with clearing storage. This is really noticible on the gameboy too, but not on the gbadvance i tested this on. Because of this weird bug it will probably also skip over the disable actor step so it will show him in the top left corner as its default starting position when no position is set.
Shame i got the sd cartridge for the gb after the jam. else i'd have caught those for sure
Fun game to play, nice to see some gb studio entrys!
I think the gameplay would be really improved if he could attack with B, instead of having to run to attack. ->+B

Hair or BonesI really like this game but the controls are pretty finicky. He doesn't always want to swing their hammer at certain points. I do really like the art and the idea is cool.
Submitted
Space Movers LLC GBJAM11Cool game. I like destroying things. I would like some more sound content.

Chattering AwayReally interesting concept. The art is great! Was the character inspired by Wario? The controls seemed finicky to me. A little bit more refinement on the controls would make it even better I think. This article about GB Studio platformer controls was really helpful to me.

The ExplorerThis game was really good. The artsyle was nice, and so was the gameplay!
the only things that could kinda be improved are the controls, as you need to be moving to hit something via ur hammer, which is kinda weird ngl, and the music. Don't get me wrong, the music is a vibe. Though maybe, just maybe, you could have thrown in the pulse channels for some added stuff. But that's an opinion anyways, and besides, it's still good.

Cyberspace WarpControls are not very intuitive. But game looks good and i like that wario - type humour. Good job on making it work on real hardware!
Submitted
ToTo SpacelandHow fun! The art and design is very charming. Movement is a little finicky, and crushing that outhouse took a dozen tries, but using all the tools was quite engaging.
Great work!
Submitted
MoonstruckReally unique take on the theme! Love the art style. The controls were a bit difficult but I don't know if that was intended. Having to move while using the hammer makes things trickier but that could be part of the challenge. Overall, cool take and like the extra touch of making it playable on gameboy.

Deep Space Trucker 9i tried to figure out how the controls worked but i couldn't get anything to happen.

gbjam fighterI’ve been defeated by Shrek’s outhouse!
I’m impressed by the fact this is an actual gb game. The manual in the page is a nice touch.
