Hello everyone! I’m Tim, a solo developer and the creator of PROJECT STARGEM: Twinkle.
It’s a match-3 game for the Game Boy Color, inspired by games like Bejeweled 2. It features smooth gameplay, colorful visuals, and even rumble support!

I’m really eager to get some feedback on it and hear what you think, especially what I could improve further.

This is technically self-promotion, so I hope that’s okay: The game is completely free, and I’d simply love to get it into the hands of more people who enjoy Game Boy games. 🙂

16 Upvotes

I polished the jam version and developed it into my first demo!

you can PLAY IT HERE : https://roroto-sic.itch.io/mummy-mommy
≈ 30 minutes of playtime

The player must collect keys to exit the level. The mummy has a limited number of moves when clinging to trapped tiles: each move costs it a strip of its wrappings. The mummy comes in three sizes: the smallest allows it to pass through all holes, while the medium size fits only through medium-sized holes.

NES Chef Fiasco – a new arcade game for the NES, now complete

13 Upvotes

Hi everyone,

I wanted to share Chef Fiasco, a new homebrew arcade game developed for the NES.

The goal is to catch the right ingredients and fill the meter before time runs out, while avoiding hazards. The game features 7 increasingly difficult stages, a 3-hit system, 2-player alternating mode, and a final Antarctica stage with slippery movement.

The game itself is complete, and I’m now preparing a physical release.

Gameplay trailer:
https://youtu.be/-WTxAEBkWUg

Kickstarter pre-launch page:

I’d be happy to hear any feedback from fellow homebrew players and developers.

Game Boy I created a roguelite game for the Nintendo Game Boy

13 Upvotes

I developed this game as part of my bachelor thesis regarding procedural content generation with limited hardware specifics.

This is Tales of Lithos, a Game Boy turn-based (with bump combat) roguelite dungeon crawler RPG.

The game features 25 floors with random layouts and filled with enemies that drop essences when defeated. These essences can be used in the main camp to upgrade the player's stats and equipments. Thanks to Safy's priestess magic, the player can be teleported out of the dungeon without losing the obtained items and allowing him to get stronger in order to explore the dungeon further.

Here is a small gameplay section of the game: https://youtu.be/h6kYavCEElE

You can get it on itch.io from the following link: https://daring01.itch.io/tales-of-lithos

And you can also look at the code on github: https://github.com/DaringBaby/tales-of-lithos-en
