No, No, Green !!!"Earth is saved" Yep, I did it.
Design si very cute, feel like an old GBA game :)
Control are easy to use, and the music work as well.
If you could try and rate my game, I'd be grateful!Submitted
My Dear HumansSuch a fun little game! Music and art is great. Controls were very tough, not sure if it's suppose to be that intentionally hard?

Earth RangerI love the artwork and music, though the character controller feels awkward to play. The player decelerates so slowly that it's hard to move precisely. Also, the jump is very floatly going up but very heavy going down, which feels very odd in this case.
Either way, very nice work, especially for just three days!

Destroy The Earth By Buying StuffReally cute the art is great, wish there was more and some more mechanics, but yeah good !!

Gone Green GalaxyGreat game! The art art and music are really good. After seeing this was made on an engine for the Gameboy I can see why the control are a little janky, the gravity is a bit too high imo and in the tower some of the platforms can be passed through and others have full collision, make sure to make each type visually distinct. Other than that the game was really fun!

EARFVery fun game, controls are a difficult, but art and music are great!

No Green PlanetsVery nice retro aesthetic. Also the music is great, and fits the game very nicely. The controls need a little bit of improvement (but this is usually the hardest part to achieve on a plattformer). My suggestions are: Try adding some "coyote time" and some jump cache, and making the player's and enemy's bounding box a little bit smaller. This will make the game easier, but you can try adding difficulty in other ways (more enemies and traps that require precise controls).
The game is beautiful overall and I enjoyed it. But if you add this improvements you could easily expand it and make a large game that many (including me) would certainly enjoy.
Nice work!

SculptOh man you're the perfect commenter! Thank you so much for the detailed feedback. Will definitely look into adding coyote time. I havent heard of jump cache before that sounds interesting. Because of the limitations of GBStudio engine I can't make the bounding boxes smaller (They've basically purpose built the engine to run on gameboys) otherwise thats a great tip!
