Finally, the Dragon!

Finally, the Dragon! Maybe it was a bit too easy to defeat, since it only took a darkness and a disintegrate 🤣🤣 Anyway, thank you for the effort you put into this 👀 I just have one suggestion: could you add the possibility to use items outside of combat?

Played it on a R36S and it was amazing, even better that i could save the game there, will be playing more, great game

Really enjoyed playing the game for around 30mins. Progressed a bit above the very first level but I was wondering if it is possible to save the game at some point ? I'm playing directly on a GBC with a flashcard so I cannot really have savestates like on an emulator :)

I am hoping to have the ability to save in an upcoming version. I'll make a big deal out of it on the release page when I add big features like this.

Oh thank you for the info ! I didnt know you were still working on the game. I can't wait ! I continued to played a couple of hours and really enjoyed exploring the dungeon :)

works great with everdrive gb x7, can't wait to see this beauty on it's final version, looks great so far, great job!

any hints how to unlock this door? This floor is brutal. I don’t see any more chests to unlock or things to light with a torch, and all the flame switches match the colors at the entrance.  

I just tested the switches in the level and was able to unlock the door, but I'll take some time and try to reproduce the issue this week... Sorry! :'(

Any specific order? Or do they turn off after a certain time period?

I just turned them in to the colors they were supposed to be. A message will appear when you’ve solved it.

so excited to try, will the .gbc load to a cart?

can confirm it does work!


It worked fine with Modretro Chromatic.

This is an amazingly fun game. The art drew me in and the gameplay kept me locked in. Excellent work. I made box art for it, if that's okay. If not, just let me know, and I'll remove it. Love the work you put into this game. 10/10

This is an amazing game. I’ve been playing it nonstop without noticing the time pass. Would it be possible for me to get your permission to translate it into Korean someday?

There may be some technical difficulties with that concerning the font. How many characters does Korean use for its alphabet / syllabary?

Unlike English, Korean uses precomposed syllable characters, so approximately 2,350 characters are needed.

hi i've never downloaded anything on github before. do i just click on the assets from the download link?

Yeah just download the .gbc file for the latest release. I'll look into posting them here as well :D

Also, I now have the .gbc ROM files here for direct download!
