It's really cool!! It's really impressive how far you pushed your game. I have made a GB game for the LD too and it's nothing like you. Really impressive!

I liked what I played, but then it crashed :/

Fight mechanic made me abandon this game very early. It seams there is more content but fighting mechanic needs some rework in my opinion.

Hi, nice game and congratulations ! We're realizing a video with several games of the Ludum Dare #36. We made the same thing at the previous jam.

Can you add your game on indiexpo.net ? (it's free)
So we can include also your game in the video ;)
p.s. write #LDJAM in the game's description.

I'm always wowed by people who are able to make a game for actual retro hardware in 48 hours. This one's really well done, to boot, so great job.

I did find the combat a bit frustrating, like @xesenix. It would improve things a bit if tapping the d-pad turned you to face that direction before moving you - when I was next to a slime but not facing it, my instinct was to turn to hit it but that meant walking into it and taking damage.

It was fine when I got the hang of it, but frustrating at first.

The ending was hilarious, too - a great self-referential take on the theme.

Impressive that this will play in a real GB! I found the combat to be difficult because of input lag (in emulator on GameJolt at least). This lead to aggravation because I wanted to dodge but couldn't, and got hurt too much.
