Updated browser playable version with new logic for the final door. It should open now after you answer all body part questions and then talk to the door one last time. If this is still broken please let me know.

Current version is stable but need / would like to add the following for next update.

• Simplify splash screen to show 'Math Blast' text only.
• Add structured progression / plot starting with addition, subtraction, multiplication, division and maybe modulus, fractions and / or percentages.
• Lock order of rockets and start with Space Shuttle, maybe use only modern rockets, ie Space Ex, European, Chinese, Indian etc. Or historical rockets ie Sputnik, Saturn V etc with explanatory dialogue.
• Progress through different planets after rocket launches, Mercury, Venus, the Moon, Mars etc through Pluto maybe including the Sun.
• Potentially add side-scrolling asteroid dodging game after launch.
• Start menu checklist could include solar system graphic showing planets left.
• Ending could be final launch to deep space / inhabitable planet. Switch to RPG overhead inside spaceship with dad. 

Uploaded latest version for in-browser player and downloadable ROM. Calling this version 3. Here are notes on what's been added / changed and what is still needed for it.

• Cleaned up and removed most old NPC's and dialogue.
• Disabled to-do list logic for getting in truck / going to Mount Tam.
• Removed option for going to Echo Lake, assets were never built.
• Darkened color of grass on X Street backgrounds.
• Made splash screen with X Street text.
• Doesn't need anything at this point as it is just a published version of first GB Studio / cart flashing project.
• Could be expanded to include characters / plot etc.
• In particular forest screens on mount Tam are set up to loop and could procedurally generate assets like a key etc for unlocking Alpine Club or cave.
• Also something is wrong with the in-browser player, too wide, off center? But playable / fine.

Uploaded latest update for in-browser and cart-flashable Game Boy ROM. Here are notes on what's been added and what is still needed on version 19...

• Start menu with working checklist to track correctly answered bones / organs' questions.
• Added color palette mode for correct coloring on GBC / GBA etc.
• Began fixing dialogue multi-popup issue.
• Still need to address liver question / couch issue.
• Still need to replace music or add music credit.
• Still need to replace remaining default assets or add credit. 
• Still need to go through and do final clean up on dialogue / remove old elements like key etc.
• Add Game Boy University Seal to box

This game looks amazing, is there a version that I can put on a flash cart? Am I just not seeing it?

Absolutely! Only done with 100% respect and love for the game. But good call, no worries on that though.

I hear you on that for sure. But the idea of you making these gems while balancing other life obligations / work etc makes them all the more inspiring :)

I was told you should finish this game! Also I like this game and you should finish it! I would love to see that snowy mountain some day ⛄️

This is amazing and I love it so far! <3

This one is really really good. I know you're probably over it but I feel like this is worthy of being fully built out. Really well done <3

I love the sound of their necks breaking when they talk to the waiter. Great looking game <3

Seriously love this game, I want to flash it to a cart <3
