How does your game meet GBJam's theme
My thought was cheese. Some cheeses take a long time to ripen. And the most fun idea I had was that you are a mouse searching for cheese on an island.

I love it! It felt like I was playing Mickey Mouse on his journey to find his piece of cheese :D I just miss having background music. Keep going!
Digging felt great, and the game feel is very Gameboy like! The idea of being a mouse and searching for that "old gold" of cheese is very cute! Good job!
It took me an embarassingly long time to understand the mechanics but once I did it was very fun! Very cool idea, I was able to find all the treasure in the end :D It was a hard to know how many tiles I had walked though, so I ended up digging a lot of holes as a way of counting the tiles. I think if the player moved 1 tile at a time it would make counting a lot easier. It was also hard to find the vistas sometimes, especially the ones in the middle of the island as it's quite "zoomed in" so it's hard to know where you are. Apart from that it was a great little GB game! Good job 👍
Definitely hits the GB vibes, especially the UI part. Would definitely spice up the game with some music though, but still well done!
Yo, thanks for your comment!
I’ll look into adding music after the jam. Then I can add it to the game.
hello! I really enjoyed the graphics as it brings back the old school gameboy experience. What is really cool is the concept of navigation/vista points in this game, that is so creative!
One thing to note, is to make sure to update the browser settings. It was a bit hard to play at the current settings, so I had to zoom in a ton.
Yeah. I was a little bit obsessed with the screen size to make it truly feel like the Game Boy. I’ll make it bigger after the game jam.
Digging for treasure really hits the “Old Gold” theme, and the black-and-white graphics bring me back to the original Game Boy. I also really like the scale of the character to the world. It’s interesting visually and feels like it would be easy on the eyes on an original DMG.
Please update the browser settings! I had to change things around to see the full game. Either enabling fullscreen or setting the game resolution to 480 × 432 would make it much easier to play in the browser.
Feels at home on a Game Boy.
First of all thank you.
I was a little bit obsessed with setting the screen size to match the Game Boy’s size. I had it set to full screen, but I disabled it. I’ll make it larger after the game jam because I don’t know if I can change it now or if it’s allowed.
P.S. There is a bug where digging up the last treasure doesn't bring you to the end screen. If this happens, just press space on an empty spot to dig again and it will go to the end screen.
