Retro Maker Simulator is a short, silly game making fun of retro handheld manufacturers. It is not designed to be taken seriously.

The game includes a variety of narrative elements across five departments as well as decision-making that increases or decreases your revenue! Can you escape bankruptcy? Three mini games are built in.

You can download the game for free!

No worries, thanks again. I'll be sure it try it on a different device!

Thanks for the response. It's an RG353M running Android 12 with a 640x480 3.5" screen. Which settings pane is it in?

I'm playing this on a small Android handheld. I know I can zoom the map, but is there any way to zoom the UI elements? I can't see my health for example because it's too small. Thanks.

Add me to the queue for 4.2 support! This looks excellent.

Orbs only affect enemies on that level. Thanks for playing!

I reviewed the video. You cannot walk over items or enemies, you have to collect them using the A button.

Grave Rogue 2 is a simple, easy-to-learn roguelike for the Game Boy and Game Boy Color. Each progressively more difficult level is selected from a few layouts with randomly placed enemies and items.

This game is perfect for quick gaming sessions and has a just-one-more-try vibe. It's ideal to pin in your favourites for when you don't know what to play.

WHAT'S NEW?

• 7 new maps
• Revamped artwork and music
• Powerful new items to find
• Bosses!

DIFFICULTY

Grave Rogue 2 is intentionally challenging and relies on skill and luck. Expect to die several times along the way and have to complete lots of run-throughs to complete the game.

GAME MECHANICS

The game is a dilemma of attacking, searching, healing, and upgrading weapon. The maps are designed that you won't always be able to get to things in the order you want to. Planning ahead is crucial. As is a certain amount of luck! Every action matters.

Thanks for sharing! I wanted to make the game as accessible as possible and I'd already reached the limits of what the GB can do.

I can ship physical carts but they don't come with a box or manual.

Nice catch! That's now fixed.

Glad you're enjoying it, and thanks for sharing the pic!

No clues, they are hidden until you find them!

Thanks! Hope you enjoy it.

Thank you so much for the positive feedback!

Awesome, thanks Chris!

Looks amazing! Do you have a reference game successfully deployed to Steam as an example? I'd like to use this for my catalogue of games.

Like a metaphor for retro handhelds, there is no end!

I'd love to tell you but I don't own an Analogue Pocket. :(

This guide might help.

You're welcome! Enjoy. 🎄

I sometimes get asked if Death Row works on original Game Boy hardware. The answer is yes! Here's a pic running Death Row 2 on a Game Boy Pocket.

The game is now live!
