How does your game meet GBJam's theme
I interpreted "Old Gold" in two ways:
-as a literal old treasure
-as memories of a time you can't go back to

i would love to play this and yet, i seem not to be able to start the game by pressing enter (in the browser). does anyone have a similar issue?
This error is intentional! (On new game just let the game do it's thing and press A to continue from an existing save file)
If you select new game and continue you will arrive at the same point.
The palette is really good, the music is pretty nice, in a way it reminded me a lot of System Erasure's VoidStranger.
The twist of having a game that has already started is pretty good too, and I like the effort of putting little scripted sequences to emphasize the idea of a world long gone (probably because I am working on something similar atm!)
All in all, chapeau bas! :)
Thank you!!
I'm glad I managed to convey the idea of a lost world :-)
Cool game! I really like the color palette, music, and the authentic Gameboy feel. I found it pretty unclear where to go or what to do, but exploring was fun anyway.
I noticed a couple bugs:
- I'm getting an error when I try to start a new game (after that fails, it seems Continue allows me to start a new one)
- I'm able to walk through a few different wall types, which causes me to get stuck where I shouldn't be
Thank you! And yet I may have made it too cryptic haha...
The first bug is intentional!
The second one...not so much.
Do you remember where that was?
Ooh that's interesting! It must've gone over my head haha.
If you start from the beginning, head south until you enter the next part of the map, then immediately head west for a while. You should pass the skeleton that sits on the cliff above you. Shortly after that you run into two "layers" of cliffs. If you step just between them, you're able to start walk on the cliff tiles themselves. Below is a screenshot showing an example where you continue west, walking along these walls until you jump to this other part of the map and get stuck.
Hope this helps!
