Played on a GBA via an Everdrive. Simple fetch quest type game enjoyable enough for what it is. Some more jokes in the text would go a long way to making this game more fun

I love the overall style and all the characters of the ships. I found it a bit repetitive after a while and the objectives could have been a bit more diverse, but for an actual Gameboy game made in 2 days it's more than enough. Good job!

Really enjoyable game. Love the gameboy colour scheme and theme.

As if you made a gameboy game you madlad. Shame about the lack of audio, but I loved the mood otherwise, great entry well done!

Great feel. I enjoyed it. Wish there was an additional element or two.

Felt great to play a top-down Game Boy game. I also liked how there's always and objective keeping you busy and you know what to do. That simple mechanic in itself is very fun.

Nice one! Too bad there wasn't any music or sound, but I liked it anyway. Fun to see that other people other than my team also made a Game Boy ROM for LD46! Would be neat to see what you could accomplish with more time!

Big fan of space games and the GB style, so I liked this one quite a bit.

Bug on the "New game/Continue Game" screen, if you press X while over the "New Game" option it says no save found. Probably shouldn't matter which key you press and just start a new game. Though I haven't tested it I expect that if you press Z over "Continue Game" it will start a new game. When walking, the layering of the objects on the ground is incorrect and they float in front of you. When the beds are fixed and trying to pick up the battery, you will see it above the text box. The options for not playing again just took you back to landing on the earth again so didn't seem to quit.

Earth with the tiny 2x2 pixel moon was really cute. Overall the graphics were good, well designed an in keeping with the aesthetics you were going for. It was simple to play and get through though it lacked a little challenge throughout. It was a nice little diversion.

@kjscott Thanks for playing. On a gameboy pressing B(X) chooses the second option in a menu, this is intentional gameboy design. So by pressing B you are choosing option 2, the continue option, this is how the majority of all gameboy games function. And for the game quitting, again this is a gameboy game, there is no "quit". The browser is running a gameboy emulator. The not play again just lets you fly around for a bit, as I can't actually turn off a gameboy through the rom.
