I played this on my Game Boy DMG and I was impressed with how good the comic panels looked! The main problem with the game in my opinion is how the character and the comic feel very disconnected. The idea of moving around a comic is an awesome idea, but having to jump around and avoid flashing stars is frustrating and you end up not looking at the comic. I think if the player had to move through and interact with the comic, like a puzzle rather than an action platformer, you could do it justice easier.
The music is very erratic, but well done for trying. I think with time, this idea and your music skills will develop and this demo could become an awesome game.
I have never seen a comic on a Game Boy before, so this is very unique and it looks awesome! I would love to read a comic on a Game Boy with some cool music and maybe some gameplay aspects.

thanks! Its a weird balance to make a story in such a small screen, but I wanted to get the idea out there as proof of concept. GBA had comixzone but I don't recall action happening in between the panels... You're right adding puzzles and a solid storyline would work wonders which time permitting, I will try to do.. but perhaps in another engine (unless gbstudio3 lets me achieve some of this), thanks again.
