This feels like one of those bootleg Game Boy games, and I love it! The art and programming is exceptionally competent, the musical covers evoke the originals without being overbearing, and the mishmash of cultural iconography is cerebral and surreal. Very janky and very fun!
The art is both well-made and quite inconsistent. While it's a neutral stylistic choice in menus and cutscenes, the constant mix of drawn toon-style art and high-fidelity posterized renders can make it difficult to read obstacles against the background in levels.
This is one of the most technically proficient GB ROMs in the jam. Parallax scrolling, animated cutscenes, and smooth mechanics! The choice to run on GBC while sticking to the graphical jam limitations was a wise choice; it runs as smooth as butter, which helps make the difficulty fairer.
Great work! Congratulations on the submission!
