Great effort, doing this for a jam is no easy task, in the last olc jam I made a Game Boy style inspired game GarbageBoy and after the jam I ported it to the Game Boy, so I know how hard it is.

5* for the effort.

It worked for both the emulators I have on Linux.  Pretty basic, but cool.  The jumping was a little odd, because it seemed like you had the flies set up to collect 3 off of a jump, but it wouldn't quite line up for me.

Yeah, it was my first homebrew and first time writing in any assembly language so the game did turn out pretty basic. Insects were actually supposed to be randomly spaced, but pseudo-random numbers on the Game Boy was tricky for me. Thanks for the comment and feedback!

This games run well on Visual Boy Advance

The game is pretty good but could use sound effects

Very true, I wish I had the time to learn how to produce sounds on the Game Boy during the jam, but that was one bit that couldn't make the cut. Thanks for the comment!

Very cool game, sadly it's pretty hard to get running because you need an emulator and somehow I can't get it started, I made sure to check that I'm pressing the Start Button.

Odd, I've just tested it on a couple of emulators and on an actual GameBoy pocket with no issues. I'll try a few other emulators, thanks for the feedback!
