Very cool. I like the idea (obviously). The art style and the cutscene are cool. The only thing that’s a bit awkward is the control of the cursor via the d-pad, due to the GB restrictions. Maybe make Jonko walk around, more platformer like. Nevertheless, well done.

the cursor mechanics is good (maybe a tad too slow), but I think that in general, a cursor controlled by a d-pad (or joystick) is always a bit awkward. so I try to avoid it when developing for GB and try to find an alternative solution, eg:
- only allow to select the objects that are interactable (this of course gives away a lot of the discoverability
- having a character “play” the cursor.
