I downloaded the game and the bgb emulator and it ran fine in Windows.

I enjoyed the play through even it its not much of a challenge, as the little pieces of information from each knight were fun to read (and I got to go to Ireland twice - I'm Irish LOL). It told me I don't know the Arthur legend that well actually!

And you rounded it off with a good twist at the end.

The graphics were well done and consistent but the music became annoying pretty quickly. I imagine a lot of Gameboy games are like that :).

I reckon this could be enjoyable for very young players although you might need to censor it first.

Oh and there is one spelling mistake, but I can't remember what it is so now you have your own grail quest to go find it!! :)

Thanks a lot for the feedback !

The game was never meant to be challenging, by design. (Although as stated in the description, the map was initially intended to offer some form of exploration). This is mostly me experimenting with game boy features in order to start making more narrative-oriented games. This includes figuring out how to play music, and is one of the reasons why I didn't bother with a long track (as annoying as it gets lol).

The Arthurian legend is a mess, there is no real canon to it, and there are as many versions of the myth as there are authors. But I'm glad you got something out of the game, as it is!

As for the spelling mistake, I think I found it (I found one, at any rate), and of course it had to also be in one of the screenshots on the page. I'll fix this when I have the time. Thanks for pointing it out!

It's a gameboy game, so you'll need an emulator to play it. I recommend bgb or vba, but it's up to you.

I would love to but I don't have a 1920*1080 monitor. If I launch your game I can't get past the first screen because of what I assume is an out-of-frame UI button....
