Cool game idea with a sprinkle of 4th wall breaking and inside jokes, well done on that part. The only thing I did not enjoy, was the fact that all the transitions used the same method: transition into the brightest color in the sun with the full screen to flashbang the player. While I undestand that this is a common thing on the gameboy the effect is very different with lit screens, as I’m basically starting down a lightsource. There are many ways to transition a scene, you could with minimal change just do it the other direction, go to the darkest. For me this was the biggest painpoint in an otherswise lovely game idea and execution.
Sprite and tilework looks lovely and almost straight of of a gameboy, could not really pick out anything here (flashes me the same way all the gameboy games do as well :P)
Sfx and musix were well made, liked them throughout the game. The story was fun with many jokes, good writing there.
Overall a really cool entry with lovely gameplay and one thing that could be fixed to elevate it to one of the gems of the jam!
