Loved this game! It really brought back the Motherlode nostalgia for me! Amazing art and intro cutscene. The music is chill, fits the vibe. As someone has already mentioned, the font in the store and the "core" in the bottom left corner have subpixel shadows, so it would not be possible on an actual GameBoy display. Otherwise, great job!

The art compliments mean a lot coming from you, thank you !

And yeah I spotted and fixed so many little things that did not want to stay in the display resolution (like the particle shader, oh god the particle shader...) but somehow the font ended up 1 px too small and with a weird half-pixel offset. Oh well.

Blown away by the all the pixel art scenes you had in this game! Great work. I had a blast shredding through the dirt with the final shovel :)

Developer

Thank you so much, I'm so glad you had fun !

I don't really like the gameplay, but graphics and sounds are awesome. Also, your font isn't scaling to 160x144p

Developer

Noooooooo I was so careful and tweaked so many things so it aligned to the grid, even remade the font to a bitmap so it scaled ! But the font parameters were 1px too small and the outline was somehow offset by 0.5px T.T

Thanks for telling me, at least it's fixed in the post-jam version :)

This is an amazing game!

The pixel art is perfect, as so is the music. 

I thought you were supposed to find a big treasure in the core of the planet, but paying your way out of there makes more sense given the initial context, lol. 

Dude, loved the game!! Very fun to walk around and play... After a while I wasn't sure what I needed to do but after talking to the boss I understood it :) Great job and nice art!
