How does your game fit the theme?
**To avoid the gameplay bug and fight the Game's Boss, hug the top of the screen after the asteroid swam (at the end of the first level) other wise LVL 1 will loop** A space shooter where you play as a coward running away from danger as opposed to flying into danger.

Love the retro theme and the general idea of the game. The game felt slow sometimes because of the falling of the rocket but in this case it really fits :D

Behold The KingThe retro theme is great, it really does feel like a game straight from a Gameboy, excellent work on the sprites! Unfortunately I played a few times and couldn't get past the glitch to the boss, I think the pace and difficulty of the first level is good though. I do wish that I could keep playing but the bug is preventing me from doing so sadly. Despite this, I still liked the content that I did play through, nice work!

SnapshotThanks for the comment, I'll be posting the fixed version after the jam so everyone who was stuck can play the 2nd level and the boss fight. BUT if you don't feel like waiting someone posted this:
"If you die on level one and hold down the X button on the black screen it respawns you in but the screen doesn't scroll. No obstacles spawn in and if you hold X down long enough it moves you to level 2"
I haven't tested it yet but that could get you to the second level and beyond
PS, it is in fact a working Gameboy game
The art is great! I wasn't able to figure out how to fix the glitch, but I did enjoy my time playing regardless, it was tricky (but fair!) Good work!

Noble NavigatorPretty good game but didn't understand the thing about the glitch. The presentation is top notch. As things to improve, maybe lose the velocity to the sides when "jumping" straight up because if not the "jump" to the side is only used once every time you want to change directions.

ReversedPlatformerThanks! As for the issue with the bug it's that the game checks your position relative to the viewable screen, if you go too far off top or bottom of the screen you get a game over and have to restart the level. At the end of the first level the offset of that check is off so unless your near the top of the screen as the level ends the game thinks your off screen and resets the level. This has since been fixed but no new version can be uploaded until after the Jam ends
Cool game! I especially liked the presentation. The graphics and the music did a really good job tying everything together. Good intro screens, nicely packaged. I liked how arcade-y it felt.
Also extra plus for being quick into action and good pacing.

Definitely NOT a tower defenseI adore the fact you made a working gameboy game! Unfortunately I found a couple more bugs. If you die on level one and hold down the X button on the black screen it respawns you in but the screen doesn't scroll. No obstacles spawn in and if you hold X down long enough it moves you to level 2. I also died to one of the meteors right before the end of level 2 and it froze my game, so I had to start all over again. Bugs aside, this is a very fun game with a lot of charm. I love the little story in the description, and the controls added to make it work on mobile. Great entry!

[GMTK-2023] Can I move?Cute and simple, make me think of a reverse Downwell but where you fart on enemies! (maybe playing too much of Wario in Smash Bros didn't help)
