This was a fun and cute little Tower Defense game! A genre I'm not really fond of, but that I could definitely enjoy in this game, which is a really good sign! The audio is just delightful, both the music and the sound effects are super gameboy-ish, and although the graphics fall a bit behind in that sense, they still resemble those of a GB game! The gameplay is simple and easy to understand, although there is a lot of information to be learned at once, right at the beginning, which confused me a bit!
All in all, a fun experience, great job! :)

Tiny Bubble BlasterAwesome idea, great implementation! I also really like the soundtrack!
Personally I would have choosen a different color than red. Something that is a little softer to the eye. But otherwise, really good game!

Angelo's little AdventureThat is a really neat game. Really interesting to see a tower defense as a Game Boy-ish game. And I like the idea of using animals instead of military weapons and towers. Good job !

Barrel BashReally interesting idea! The HUD was a bit confusing for me, but once a got the hang of it, I enjoyed a lot. Tower defense games with game boy limitations are a really challenging thing to develop, I've been there too! So, I think you did a great job!

Pocket TrialsWhat a neat genre mashup idea! I love that each of the animals are given their own name. The title screen is robust too, though you may want to thicken the selection border, it was a bit difficult to see.
There are a few quality of life changes I'd like to see, such as a way to feed all of your animals at once. The cursor movement can also be pretty tedious: there's too many blank tiles that you have to scroll past to get anywhere useful.
But I enjoyed playing it!

R.O.D.E.O. RangersI really enjoyed this game! The Hunger and Level bars were confusing to me to begin with, but I managed to work them out after a while. I really like that you have to keep all your units fed (although it's a bit tedious to have to manually feed them with game boy controls). I adore that all my pets have their own names. The unicorn, needs to have a quieter/less repetitive sound, this put me off wanting to use it. All in all great game and I would love to play again if you continue to work on it.
