WARNING! WARNING! WARNING!

The following text contains Spoilers! It is directed to the developer to inform him about something that seems to be a bug that is hopefully related to my hardware.

I am using an original DMG-Gameboy (1989 motherboard) with an EzFlash Jr. Cartridge (Firmware 4, Kernal 1.04e).

I breezed through this game in under an hour... More like 20 Minutes. First dungeon gave normal rewards. After that i ended with 99 Gold after completing a dungeon. After the third dungeon i had all items from the armory. I was so "lucky" that i just had to press rapidly a to get through all dungeons after the first. After the credits i got "back to town" and the lower part (where you would normally see "A=search B=leave" and stuff like that) was filled with garbage.

I can provide you with screenshots and a save data from the cartridge, if that helps.

My guess (and hope) is that it has something to do with the mapper that is used and that maybe a fix from your side is possible. I don't think the EzFlash-Team will release further updates :/

Nonetheless a great looking game! Sound/Music could have been better but for a GBS Title it is marvelous... Besides the musik ;) looking forward to future titles!

Keep up the great work!

thank you for playing and calling out those issues. Some of them are just the console being pushed too hard graphically, like the bottom of the screen bit. Between the graphics pushing too hard and the gb studio version being a beta it was built on, there is a possibility of this happening on the hardware. I’m working hard now with the most recent release to find the cause and address it, and push the next release even more both graphically and gameplay wise.

Ps. Love your username, fell in love with the genstealer cults in 3rd edition when all they had were the chapter approved rules 🤘🤘

I have the exact same issue, although I'm using the Gambatte GB emulator on a linux handheld. Nonetheless I'm happy to hear you're gonna try to fix this. Nonetheless the game is a ton of fun when I play the itch io download version on my pc. Can't wait for the update and being able to play it on the go! Keep up the amazing work!

Thanks for your reply! I am sure your next project will be as great as this one, or possibly bigger from what i can tell by looking at the screenshots.

Hopefully it will be dmg-compatible. Nothing against color but i love my big, heavy box.

I stumbled across genestealers when i was 8 or 9 years old. An older friend had hero quest, star quest and space hulk.

I started playing warhammer 40.000 when the 3rd edition came out but did not collect tyranids till the transition from 3rd to 4th edition... Now i have to many xD i also got myself space hulk 1st and 2nd edition in the early 2000 for nostalgic reasons.

Maybe a board game for the gameboy could be one of your future projects hrhrhr...

Jokes aside. Thanks again and best of luck for your future in general. Greetings from the german genestealer ;)
