What a Great idea for a game ! :)

i completed the DMG room, GBPOCKET room, GBADVANCE room  and LINK room with official nintendo hardware.

unfortunatly, i didnt manage to "control p" on my computer even if my printer is connected to my pc. (but i guess that only works on a gameboy with a gameboy printer haha)

No SGB room for me bc as I dont have a super game boy so i tried to do it with bgb, but i didnt manage to set up SGB multiplayer :/

And i didnt finished the CGB room. I'm locked after i pushed the rock during winter. I go back to spring for more water but the way is close again :/ (bug or im dumb ?)

Hey, thanks for playing, and thanks for the positive feedback!

You're right about the printer - you need an official GB Printer (Or use GBE+ emulator) and the rock will crumble away for you to continue!

You can use BGB for the SGB if you configure joypad 1 (you can technically get away with just one extra joypad, you don't need 4!)


And the Color dungeon.... if you are stuck with the rock in winter... you need to go back to Autumn and push the rock off the cliff then. Then it will stay put, and then go to Winter, and the water will have frozen below the rock - allowing you to push it out the way!


Hope that all helps?!

thx for the tuto on bgb :)

and for the color dungeon , i can't do it. After i pushed the rock off the Cliff in winter i get back to autumn as you writed but i can't go to the top rock bc of the leaf on the tree. (also why the rock dont stay where it was in winter?)

I had to balance guiding the playing and leaving hints and notes where I could.

This is valuable feedback though... and glad you were able to solve the puzzle!! 💪🏻
