Hey, thanks a lot for checking it out. I do indeed have a bigger scale project I’m working on and will post updates here in the near future.

Best of luck with Essencelord! I enjoyed what I played a lot. Will be following!

Yeah, I may have gotten a bit overzealous with the sliding lol. I kinda felt like it was a good way to keep some challenge in the more mundane platforming areas but I’d probably tone it down next time.

Thanks! There’s a small chance of encountering an enemy ship on the overworld and having a “battle” which is really just a single event, you hit them or they hit you based on who makes a higher D12 roll.

I originally intended to make a bigger overworld with ships sailing around that you had to fight and a little upgrade system but I ran out of time lol.

Loved this! Was hooked on spamming those balloons until the end then I was sad that it ended lol.

Gameplay was a bit nebulous but the music and artwork is absolutely incredible!

Cool game. Would recommend making the browser window bigger on the page though.

I enjoyed this. I was a bit confused at first and it took me a while to get the hang of the combat system. The balance feels a bit off but nonetheless I really enjoyed the mechanics and found it to be a unique experience overall. Could definitely see a more refined version of this as a full game. Also the music was really solid and reminded me of Tetris lol

Awesome game! I loved the music and the vibes. Great gameplay all around. Would love to see a full version.

This is really good! I love the aesthetics and you definitely fit a lot of mechanics in there like the damage pools that you don't normally see in GB games (I know it's Unity but still lol).

Seems really cool but I honestly couldn't figure it out and I had a tough time understanding the dialogue. I may just be an idiot though. Your animations on the page look amazing!

This was interesting. I really liked the concept and the music was good. It surprised me when I went to sleep the second time and woke up in the nightmare looking level with the creepy music.

I did find a lot of bugginess with the collisions and I ended up getting bugged out and glitched to the end of the game at one point lol. This probably would've been a better project for GBStudio rather than Unity as to not have to deal with the engine bloat for a simple game.

Still, I thought it was cool and I could definitely see a more expanded version being really neat! Good job with this! 
 

Thanks for playing! I totally agree about the potions. Didn't even think of that until after the fact. I made it so you can take them as needed from the inventory but in hindsight it would've been more streamlined to just use them automatically when they're picked up. I'll also take your note about the backgrounds into consideration for next time. Thanks!

This is excellent. Your art is soooo good!

Loved this. I sometimes get the urge to make a puzzly-game like this but I can never get it right lol

Thanks for checking it out! I loved your game but I also suck at it so I get it lol

Thank you so much, I really appreciate that! 

I actually intended to add a lot of other things that I ended up not having the time for but I’m hyped about what I shipped either way.

I sincerely doubt I would’ve made it at all if my wife hadn’t done the music for me lol.

Thanks a lot for checking it out! 

I originally intended to make the dungeons a lot crazier. I had a bunch of scripting done to randomize them even more (item placements, additional rooms, layouts, etc) but I kept running into bugs that I knew I wouldn’t have time to account for so I scaled everything back. 

Still happy with how it turned out though!

Thanks for checking it out!

Yeah I saw the rule, just wasn't sure since I did create it by scratch and it isn't a direct cover of said song but I'll go ahead and scrap it just to be safe. I have a couple fully original tracks I can use instead. Thanks!

Can I make a gameboy version of an old song that's now public domain? This will be a rendition of an old sea shanty but with my own twists so not a direct copy of the original.

Hey, do you have any experience doing Gameboy music? I’m going to be working in GBStudio for this one and have all the bases covered except music. Some art help would be great too!

I have quite a bit of general GBStudio experience and separate design experience working on a team if you guys are still looking for someone. Check my profile and my most recent release.

Your tutorials absolutely slap! Thanks so much.

Thanks for playing!

Very interesting stuff here. Nice work!

Nice work! I made a similar game some years back myself. Love to see people still making old school text adventures.

Thanks for the advice! I’ll see about adding something like that, maybe I’ll just add a tutorial section that can be referenced whenever from the select menu.

Lol no problem. COM is combat. I included it in the tutorial but an unfortunate downside of the GB engine is dialogue length limitations.

This looks really cool. It’s giving Snatcher vibes kinda. I dig it!

Not at this time. I actually lost most of the source files for this project about a year ago so it probably won’t be receiving any more updates unless I can find a backup.

Currently working on a new project to be released in full within the next month or so. Might start up a Discord then if enough people are interested.

Sadly no. The game requires Windows Command Prompt to run.

Hey there,

I’m not sure, honestly. I haven’t actually played this game or looked at the code in a while but I appreciate you trying it out nonetheless!

You could definitely try to change the font size in the command prompt settings and adjust the window accordingly though I’m not sure that would have the exact effect you’re looking for.

Really awesome looking game. Is there a way to play without a num pad? Would love to give this a go but would rather not have to bust out another keyboard to do so.

Wow, yeah I did the form on itch, had no idea there was another one we had to do. These hosts absolutely botched this jam. Not even saying to be rude at this point, just really disappointed and it sucks that they just argue with everyone on Discord instead of accepting their screw up and learning from it.

Oh well, I’m happy I got the experience of “participating” even if I end up being disqualified in the end. Tis about the journey, not the destination… or something like that.

Thank you for checking it out! Yeah, he's a great guy. Really appreciated the shoutout.

This is my question as well. That would be quite silly if actual NES games aren’t allowed though.

Really awesome game. Had my wife and I hooked trying to win a round😂

CnD in 5,4,3,2… nah jk this seems super awesome. Definitely gonna try it out! :)
