What a fun little adventure. I'm a sucker for that game boy aesthetic and you really nailed that from the 3 tone color to the low res synth music. Couple suggestions though, I think a flashing (z) button to prompt the player to continue text or cutscenes goes a long way because I didn't know the controls at the start. Also I completely missed the girl who gave out quests so maybe give her some more animation to prompt the player to talk to her?

Other than that I thought it was a solid entry to this jam, also I think I found an exploit on the final wasp boss and just stood above him attacking down not taking any damage lol.

Thank you for the feedback, I will take your advice for future projects. I'm glad you enjoyed the game :)

What I liked: 

  • Art style
  • Music

My suggestions:

  • The Bee boss was a tad bit too difficult for me (maybe this is a user error, lol) but making it easier would stop players from being stuck in one section for too long. 
  • Both mobs and the player should be able to move in the same direction. It was hard to align the shots right when they were moving diagonally. 

Overall a nice and fun game! Good job.

Thank you for the feedback, lots of people ended up struggling with the bee boss, I definitely should have toned him down. I'm glad you enjoyed it though!

I couldn't seem to move the character around anymore after leaving the first room :(

Loved the art though

or if you prefer WASD hit J. It acts like an A button

Thanks, sorry I forget that every time. Cool game, I think my only critiques might just come down to GB Studio, like the movement being rigid, and the screen wrapping on shake. Also when I die it seems like it loads the cabin scene twice. It’s really cool that it can run on a gameboy though

Thank you for the feedback! Glad you figured it out!

Very cool and short adeventure! Loved that I could play this on my phone like a game boy. I think that maybe the walking animation was a bit slow and it made the player look like thet were gliding around. Boss fights were very cool, just wish they had a health bar. 

Developer

Glad you enjoyed it and thanks for the feedback!

Definitely nailed the aesthetic you were going for. Good job!

Developer
