Wow, is this Game Boy style? That’s so cool!
I’ve never actually seen a real Game Boy in person, so games made in that style always feel fascinating to me.
By the way, is there a special tool or engine for making Game Boy-style games?

The game itself was amazing!
I’ve never played on a Game Boy, but I did play some escape-room games on old flip phones when I was a kid, so the controls felt surprisingly familiar.
It took me a little time to read some of the text since I’m not used to that font style, but the writing was great.
I especially loved how the protagonist kept acting like a Twitch streamer — it really made me laugh!
Fantastic game!

The engine I used is called GBStudio, created by Chris Maltby and you can actually download it for free on itch.io here: https://chrismaltby.itch.io/gb-studio

I highly recommend it! I do not particularly like programming so the engine itself is quite lightweight and easy to pick up. Of course there are restrictions but I quite like the ability to use monochromatic palettes and be able to play it on mobile so I played around with it and made a VN, dress-up game and RPG haha.

You can even port the games you made to emulator or even on physical cartridges which is pretty cool. I say, ONE OF US, give it a try! ^^

Also thank you for your kind words ^^
