I think it's safe to say this was originally made with the anticipation that glitches would be the theme? While I haven't found the way to beat the game in ten seconds, I liked the game boy layout and the glitches you can do. :)

The idea was to make a game speedrunable in 10 seconds but I didn't find any interesting way to do it without using glitches so, yeah, it ended to be more suitable for the "glitches" theme :(
Thanks for your test !

I'm not sure I get the thing about the glitches, without which the relation to the theme is entirely lost.

I do love the Game Boy aesthetic. It might have worked even better with double-size pixels; the original Game Boy was only 160x144.

The sounds are a bit of a mismatch with that, unfortunately. And does the voice at the end say "thank you" or "f*ck you"? I'll assume it's the former :)

I love the graphics! It really felt like an old gameboy game. xD

Great graphics and design.

Excellent! Love the use of the power switch as a mechanic. Short but sweet. Fantastic use of the theme. One of the my favourites of the jam.

Perfect. Awesome graphics. O man, those good old days.

I really love the concept of the Power Button mechanic, although I still found it pretty tough :)

Great take on the theme while tying in the glitch aspect! Extremely well crafted too. Nice work!

game boylayout was cool. I beat the game normally, cause i'm lame.

tammilion 2013-08-28 19:07

Very complete game. Really liked it. LOVE the graphics and ther power switch mechanism made me think of Pokemon Silver/ Gold, good old times ^^

Seems well enough made, but it's not really the game I would like to play for a longer time, which I would have to do to understand how it works. Still looks very polished for a 48 hours effort! However, the music get's on your nerves pretty quickly. :(

Loved the idea of the game with the intro at the start, with lots more creative glitches this game would be pretty amazing, although I still liked it anyways :P

really interesting concept and idea. the graphics were real cool. nice work.

matthias_zarzecki 2013-08-30 14:11

This idea is brilliant. Amazing work with the "Do not turn off"-idea, this gets 5 stars in innovation :D

Thanks everyone ! This is my first LD entry and your comments really makes me happy \o/

For those of you who can't finish the game, here is the name of the three glitches you must use :
- Save Glitch
- Door Bounce
- Sword Bounce

/SPOILER\ And here is the solution : http://i.imgur.com/BIcw99J.gif /SPOILER\


If you wan't another challenge, here is one :
You must finish the game (in any time) without defeating the boss and without using the Sword Bounce.
(Yeah, this need the "Invincibility glitch"... )

Amazing game. great concept, super graphics and musics. One of best ideas I saw so far in this LD.

cryunreal 2013-09-01 10:13

nice idea!)

toadfrogs 2013-09-01 10:15

Felt like playing the classic Gameboy, LOL at that sound effect once you turned on the gama boy. good job on this game.

jokerden 2013-09-01 10:17

I can finish it only in 13 seconds. Awesome style!

raiyumi 2013-09-03 22:54

Neat game.. but I can't make out what he's exactly saying in the beginning, haha.

atmospherium 2013-09-06 15:17

I really like this game idea. You really did a great job imitating the GameBoy visuals and glitches. I finally have the solution sorted out and can beat the game in 8 seconds. The glitched out victory screen is awesome.

emveyh 2013-09-06 19:24

Great idea :D I really like the gameboy look. It doesn't fit the the theme too well, though
