Nothing can go wrong? Anything that can go wrong, will go wrong... meet Wizard Murphy and his tiny adventure to save his breakfast after his toast dropped buttered-face down.

Audio and visuals were great, loved the retro vibe. I couldn't beat the final goblin, must have hit him 100 times or more... but he has no health bar. Without knowing if my hits are effective, I'm inclined to give up. So definitely add a health bar in the future. One other minor change to make it slightly more playable overall - a tiny smidge of coyote time! Even something like a quarter of a second of coyote time would have prevented some frustration in the forest. Overall, this is very well done for only 3 days.
Thank you very much for your feedback. I have received some comment about Goblin King and I'll definitely put the health bar for the next project :)
The OG pokemon vibes were real! I enjoyed the game until I got stuck on the final farm goblin. No matter how many times I hit it, didn't seem to have any effect. Couple of control suggestions are 1). The roof was a bit low during platforming, so you could complete a jump when you were high. 2). I think giving the player a little bit of horizontal movement during the farm running scene would go a long way. Anyway, good job!
Thank you very much for your feedback :)
Nice game!
Thank you very much :)
This has very strong classic gameboy vibes and is overall very clean in presentation. I like it!
Thank you very much :)
Nice looking game! The gameplay elements are simple but effective in telling the story, with more time it would've been interesting to see how you expanded on the idea.
Thank you very much :)
Holy crap this is awesome! So much nostalgia, it brings me back. The game play is great but even if it wasnt just the art style and perfect 8 bit sfx were enough to bring me in. So glad i played this one. Gonna go play OG pokemon red now.
Thank you very much :)
This is really good, and the art is fantastic, even more so considering you say you're new to it. I didn't experience any bugs with the boss and managed to complete the game fine, and I had fun doing so! Great work.
Thank you very much :)
Nostalgic visual and audio! Can't beat the boss tho.
Overall, a solid minigame with clear gameplay and good story.
Thank you very much :)
I very like visuals and audio. But the management is a bit unresponsive.
Thank you very much for playing my game :)
Good game, I like the Gameboy art style and the music and sound effects fit. Well done.
Thank you very much :)
This is a really nice game! Great visual design, audio, story and gameplay. Unfortunately I wasn't able to finish it, even after hitting that boss gobling probably 100 times - saw you mentioned that as a bug.
Thank you very much for playing my game. I tried to check but I still can't figure out how to fix the issue :( Hopefully I can manage to do something different in the future. Thank you again :)
Cool game! I liked how you combined lots of gameplay genres!
Thank you very much :)
Nice graphic style! Fits perfect with the gameboy sounds!
Thank you very much :)
I like the gameboy aesthetics!
Thank you very much :)
Great story and visuals, the out-of-butter wizard feels really relatable. You have several different kinds of gameplay in here and all of them are fun.
Thank you very much :)
With those graphic I thought this shall be another classic-Pokemon clone. But I was wrong. This game has its own gameplay that was so good, and storytelling was so hilarious. I like it so much.
Thank you very much, I'm glad you enjoyed the game :)
Cute game with pixel art but something seems of when you're jumping from high to low platforms.
Thank you very much for feedback. I'll try to figure out the problem and improve it for my next game. Thank you again for playing this game :)
Really cute game! I've been hitting the goblin boss for ten minutes and it is not dying so I gave up, not sure what I was supposed to do. Great jobs!
Thank you very much for your feedback. I have set the certain amount of times you have to hit goblin king to beat him but I have received several feedbacks that they are stuck in that stage so I think it might be some kind of bug. I'll try to figure it out and improve it for the next game. Thank you again for playing my game :)
It's really cool seeing a gameBoy game here! I think the visuals and sound really fit well, and murphy's law is a nice fit for the theme. well done.
Thank you very much :)
Ay a really nice cute game. Nice colors as well
Thank you very much :)
