fireee!!!!!
This game is amazing!! I'd be really really really happy if Lothaire posted the ROM file here. I could enjoy the game on the go! :D
no se porque no lo puedo jugar en mi PC (windows) :
Could you provide a rom? I'd love to play this on my Game Boy.
I'd like to buy the ROM too :) - I love playing using D-pad and buttons.
Love it. The idea, the execution, the graphic elements. very nice and playable. Ultra fast, but very creative and cute. Congratulations.
Thank you!
some really nice graphics. especially the title and opening cut scene
Thanks Max!
that ending tho
dang
WHY THE END THOUGH. *sobs* The game was pretty good, the air movement was very floaty and didn't have enough friction, but other than that good game. THE ENDING THOUGH WHYYYYYYYYY
This is great! Definitely took me back to playing old platformers on the Game Boy. :D
One note I'd have is that the movement felt floaty; I found myself unintentionally flying/jumping into spikes quite often.
Great job though!! Really impressed with all of the assets and the presentation on this page too, very professional.
Thanks! I agree with the floaty movements, we’ll definetely improve this if a sequel were to come some day.
