I like the humour and the art style, and the music is nice! Good job!

However, when the textbox opens, is that.. a 5th colour?? 🤯

It's cool that you managed to fit in 2 game modes! I like the hunted mode the most. It is genuinely pretty spooky and has great atmosphere. Great use of palette. I really like how the music adjusts to what is happening (with pitch bends, for example). Also the cats are so cute! The only critisms I have is that the pixel sizes seemed to look a bit inconsistent in some places, and the music contains a lot of sounds the gameboy could not produce, but those aside it still has great gameboy soul in my opinion.

Thanks for playing! :)

The art in this game is really beautiful. I really like the design of the ghosts too. Great work!

This game has a lot of depth to it for a jam game. Good visuals, interesting mechanics, story, and the sound is on point too. It even seemed like the bgm would partially cut out during the sfx where people speak, which reminded me of how it actually works on the gameboy since one of the audio channels would need to be used for the sfx. That was a nice detail. The puzzles are fun and I like how it teaches you the mechanics slowly. Great job!

That's a lot, glad you liked it! :D

This was really fun, I have to play it again to try get the good ending! Good job!

I love the bend and swing mechanic, really unique! The lighting shader is cool too

Cool game! I really like how more of the story is revealed through hidden secrets.

Love the start and ending art! The music also bops. Really fun idea! I got stole a lot of candy and didn't get caught once 😈

Cute and funny game! I liked how i could scare people in different ways.

I really like the mechanics in this game, and the visuals and small cutscenes have great gameboy soul! What did you use to make it?

At least the cats keep their revenge family-friendly 😆

Glad you liked the game, thanks for playing!

I particularly like the 2nd minigame, pretty simple but very fun mechanic!

Interesting concept and very nicely polished! Great art, animations and music. Nice work!

LOLL I love this. Really creative. Also thanks for using Soraboy, the music is catchy!

This game was all-round lovely. It packs in a lot of different gameplay mechanics for a jam game too! The resolution seems to be not quite right for gameboy, but other than that I think it had great gameboy soul. Amazing work!

This is such a cool lil demo! Really well polished, and the concept is brilliant. It is a shame there is no sound, but I am looking forward to playing the full game when it's ready.

Really love the soundtrack! The art style is nice too, but it can be a bit overwhelming to look at for me. Also, if there was a bit more of a clear goal or way to lose, I think it could also make it more fun too. But still nice work!

This game's art, music, and gameplay is all really great! And the monsters are spooky too. Great work!

Really great atmosphere and genuinely spooky! I was happy when I realised I could walk faster on the subsequent playthroughs. I haven't been able to figure out how to get the "sleep" ending yet but I got the other ones.

Wow. This game gave me chills. Really well made all-round. Amazing work! Also, those initial food drawings looked really tasty.

Thank you so much, glad you like it! :D

Thank you so much! Shout out to the artist Bluchu for the great work on the page design :D

Thank you so much! ZGB is a cool framework and I would definitely recommend it to anyone interested in programming gameboy roms

Thanks a lot! The mechanics were actually inspired by Ghostbusters II for the Gameboy, although we made some adjustments. They had the friendy AI character doing the "grabbing" part, but I thought that was a bit frustrating sometimes since you can't directly control the movement of that character. Still it's a fun game though so I would recommend it if you like these mechanics!

Thank you!

Really great art and gameplay. I like the concept and dialogue too. I tried the 2nd boss many times even after reloading my save, and it doesn't seem to work for me. Also, when I first reload my save there are bars on the left and top side of the screen, but it goes back to normal if I die once.

Thank you, glad you liked it!

Thank you for sharing :D

So cool this was made with GBDK!! I only have experience with ZGB  so far and I can appreciate the extra work that would be needed without an engine. I really love the art and animated characters! The story is funny too.  Great work!

Thank you! I'm really glad you liked the music. I knew I didn't have time to come up with complicated melodies so I kept the notes simple but tried to use interesting sounds instead.

Previously I've used a javascript emulator so I can submit a web version aswell as the rom. 

I used this emulator: https://github.com/chrismaltby/gb-studio/tree/develop/appData/js-emulator (seems like fork of https://github.com/taisel/GameBoy-Online )

Example: https://shadowsora211.itch.io/impossible-gameboy

Sorry for the delay on this. It's just that I needed a mac to build for mac. I have just ordered one and I'm going to try port Soraboy over in the near future.  Assuming that goes smoothly, it shouldn't be too much longer :)

Thanks for the feedback! I will consider these things if I make more updates or a new plugin.

Nice! I could see it as a bgm for a pixel art game. Glad you like the plugin :)

Hi lvl1wizard, I am sorry you are having this issue! I have never seen this happen before in the released version, but I have a feeling it could be a bug that occurs when running at a lower framerate (it looks like pixel has moved too far forward and now the player cant move to the correct position). When I have time I will try to fix this, but in the meantime are you able to try playing on a different PC? Since this is the first time this issue has been reported, I think there is a good chance it will work on a different PC. There is only a browser version uploaded, so I am not sure why the itchio desktop app gives an option to install it.. 😅

I haven’t played the original but this is really fun!

Thanks for playing! :D

Thank you for playing and thanks so much for the feedback!

I sort of ran out of time and didn’t really spend any time balancing the audio levels, that’s definitely something I will keep in mind for the next game.

The marker is a great idea! If I expand on this game I will definitely try that out for sure.
