I can not fathom how you made a game boy game this quick! That's so cool and also I had a fun time playing the little loop is fun

Developer

love the game loop, it was a lot of fun

Very silly idea! The sounds made it so I thought I was failing while I was actually doing the right thing I think. What does the little guy running back and forth do? I didn't notice myself dying when touch him.

Developer

Thanks! The guy running back and forth is just a barrier to make you take more time. The sounds on the other hand are... Not my brightest work lol. I'm hoping to change them if we make an update.

Loved the game, the art style was great! Only feedback I have is that it was a little bit too easy to get into the rhythm of shrimp frying rice,

Developer

agreed, more variety later would be nice

Submitted

Really funny intro! I guess you had plans for the rice to burn since the is a trash bin, cool idea! Great job, very silly!

Developer

lol yes and thats how i figured out how you have to be nice to the Game Boy CPU on how many threads you start, and would have to overall make much more consolidated logic

Developer

great game but I don't really see how it fit the theme other than that awesome

Developer

Thanks! The area were you go to get rice is Shrimptown, So the idea is that you go to town to get the rice :D
