This game is perfection! and yet I never heard of it till now :(
The gameplay is amazing, and I like how each world uses its own unique mechanic combined with the basic toggle spikes!
The art here is very, very good, especially the higher res ones like the title screen and backgrounds!
And the music ohhhhh myyyy. If you played these tracks to me without telling me where they came from, I would guess you used the NES (2A03) plus some expansion chip like the N163. It genuinely uses all the channels (2 pulse, 1wave, 1 noise) so well!
The stars you had to collect were a nice little challenge for 100%ers, and the prize you get from it is really fun. I enjoyed it alot!
I litteraly have nothing to complain about here. Its that good!
Well done, Gumpy Function, Vault Kid and Tronimal! :D
Hello! I really enjoy your game. I'm a beginner in GB Studio, and I was wondering how you determine the switching of obstacles when the character jumps. If this question is bothersome, I apologize.
I can do a dev log explaining it in detail once the full version is released :) but simply put, I use palette swapping to hide or show the spikes at the beginning of the jump.
This game is crazy good! A great example of taking a simple concept and bringing it to life through flawless execution. It's giving me Wendy's Every Witch Way vibes, and I love that game.
Erm, its supposed to Z or J... I updated it using a more recent version of GB Studio and that may have changed the button config on me. I'll make the change back to Z and J when I can. Thanks for letting me know.
You can always download the .gbc ROM and play in a Game Boy emulator if you want to map the keys to anything you like.
cheers! Yeah, I think making a platformer with the current version of GB Studio makes for rather simple core gameplay but i am trying to making it at least a little more exciting with my level designs. I'm still working on more content too ;)
wow, such a fun speedy platformer :D I love all the unique game mechanics each area has and it plays so smooth and speedy :> Visuals and music are also really great! I think this is now one of my favourite Game Boy games! :)
I think I found two bugs though:
in the FUNZ level, the coins I collect are always added to my last high score. So I get a new high score every time and I'm now at 127 points :P
This is really minor, but you can't switch from level 14 to 16 in one go. To get from lvl 14 to 16 you need press right and then up. If you don't let go of the D-Pad in lvl 15 you will somehow move back to lvl 14 despite not even pressing left..
Since I just 100% this two times in a row I'd really like to speedrun this now xD oh, a built in speedrun mode would be a nice feature! :P
Hey. Thanks for the kind words. I'll take a look at what's going on with those bugs. Thanks for letting me know!
Speedrunning the game is fun once you have completed it. There is a link in the itch description to the speedrun.com page if you want to check out videos of both my time and the current world record by ReFlex. For now, your best option is using LiveSplit to time your runs. I will see if I can implement an in-game timer at some stage.

Thanks heaps bud. Yeah, Wendy Every Witch Way is great! Thanks for playing.
This looks like a really fun game... But why is the jump key Alt?

Thanks for replying! I didn't know what a .gbc file is so I assumed my computer just couldn't run it.
Really fun game. I created an achievement set for it on RetroAchievements.
Oh rad!! Thank you for that. Im still working on it so it will see some updates in future.
This was really well done!
Although the main idea is simple, the twists and the levels are what makes it work.
It was a very enjoyable game and quite a weird one at some places, although i won't complain, the beans were pretty funny lol.

Great!
I will be follwing the development then :D
Gawd dam this is good, honestly for me it's the best platforming experience since celeste
Oh wow! High praise. Thank you very much :)
You're welcome!! Thanks for playing bud. Really glad to hear you enjoyed it.
The thumbnail convinced me to try this. Solid marketing lmao
Rad! Yeah, I need to make more games with stupid titles and weird looking protagonists.
