One of the few games that was quite interesting to play through. Special props for making the game LITERALLY for Game Boy — I’m blown away, you’re a monster, man. But in the pursuit of authenticity, you’re just ruthless to PC users. I got tired of having to figure out the controls on my own. Why are you doing this to me????

I missed the sound design; without it, the game feels empty. Furthermore, the doors inside the cave itself are overly sensitive — for example, I’ve just entered and haven’t even had time to release the button, but the game interprets this as if I want to enter the door again, and I’m thrown back to the previous room. This is a bit annoying. And, in my opinion, the interpretation of the theme isn’t deep enough.

Thank you for the comment. I'm sorry that I didn't put the commands  on the page, I will put them when the voting ends, and I will work on the music to improve the game. I hope you liked the game and thanks for playing!

Overall pretty neat. The puzzle pieces felt kind of superfluous as they didn't really end up changing anything, I still collected them all regardless. The only major issue I have with this game is the overall lack of any sound, which is a pattern I'm noticing with these game jam submissions (that being most of them lacking any).

You are right, I will work on the music for the next update. Thank you for playing and I hope you had fun!

A clean, minimalist, short platformer—and bug-free, too. Though I didn't quite get the point of the puzzle pieces.

I also would have liked some musical accompaniment—even just a couple of notes—as it would have really suited the game's style. And adding a few more traps would have encouraged more careful gameplay.

Developer

Thank you for the comment! I will work to add the music (or at least the SFX) and more levels with traps for the next update. Thanks for playing, I hope you had fun!

Nice simple little platformer!
Really liked the character design and overall graphics, it does have a solid gameboy vibe for me.
I had a hard time figuring the controls on keyboard, especially start and interact, as I didn't see any instructions in game or on the page but maybe I missed them.
Too bad for the sound as it could have overhauled the experience in my opinion, even simple ones for the jump and picking up the puzzle pieces.

Still all in all a solid game! Congratz!

Thank you so much for all the suggestions! I didn't put the commands because it was the same as in the GB emulators, but I will put it when the vote ends! And you are right, I still have to work on the sound. I will do my best to fix all and add more content. Thanks for playing and for the feedback, I hope you like the game!!

A simple game, The jumping was nice but oh boy is that little bugger fast. I did not particularly care for the backtracking but overall was a simple and sweet game.

Yaaaay, nice game :D, i just really wish there were any sounds at all but good job for getting the game done :D

Developer

Thank you for playing the game! It doesn't have any sound because I don't know  anything about music yet, but I will try to work on that. Thanks for the comment!

no issue at all! in fact i didnt know anything either about music but tried to make something just because i always feel like there's some kind of gap when a game lacks any audio or even sound effects but that could be just me, you could try working something out for the sake of learning a tool like beepbox and update the game after the jam, i'll be there to support you <3
