The sense of humor shines through here so well, and the pixel art is incredibly charming and inspiring. I really felt like the GBC was being pushed to its limit for what it's capable of. Platforming also feels fair, although it is extremely difficult for me that's a skill issue. 

A great all around showcase of what the GBC can do in capable hands (heh).

This is definitely a JAM game, took me about 30 minutes to 100%, but a mechanically very solid VVVVV-inspired game! My advice (for what it's worth) moving forward would be: don't be afraid to let players get a little lost to make the world feel bigger and more interesting. The original Metroid felt so big because not every path ended in a goodie; forward progress wasn't being made 100% of the time. If you want it to feel like an organic world instead of a Game Jam game, find that extra space, find ways to make it interesting, and start building a WORLD. This is a great start though - keep it up!

Is this setup to use FRAM saves on a gameboy cartridge or does it only use battery SRAM saves?

Dude... this game is a true hidden gem. I'm recommending this game to all of my friends because it is the single best game boy color game I've ever played apart from Crystal (big pokemon fan lol) after this experience, I'm definitely checking out all the rest of your games because as I mentioned before, this game is utterly amazing. The platforming as a whole is really good. One thing I got caught up in however was when you get the last power. I didn't know how to use it for a while. Overall, great game. Definetly getting followed. Hope you make more awesome games cause I want to play em!

Ok, thanks. But when I downloaded the game, all it did was open up the code on my notebook. After downloading it what should I do next?

On web, the sound doesnt work sometimes and so i have to reset more than 1 time and sometimes it lags behind. Maybe if i download the game i should not have a promblem with that. I am not finished yet, but so far it is great.

I've played some great indie games and some interesting social commentary games. I did not expect this to be both and I'm so glad I had no idea what this was about until I played it. I only saw the Metroidvania tag via RetroAchievements and checked it out.

Excellent game with good progression, some great visuals and an overall well-designed style of gameplay. The brilliant "lore" is just a bonus on top of all that.

If I had one nitpick: I personally found the first boss harder than the final boss on my first playthrough. I would have liked it if the first boss was maybe 5%-10% slower which would have made me more likely to learn the attack patterns before dying a good few times. (I played on Normal mode so not sure if that makes a difference)

Other than that, I am disappointed that someone posted about an Easter egg that I didn't find. I was gonna play it again in hard mode anyway, but I hope I find the Easter egg too!

Well done on a very cool game and I wish you nothing but success!

The transphobic transforming transhumanist smiley kills everyone on Mars and now you gotta kill it!

Was a fun game with charming design. The hard mode was too hard for me so I had to finish the game in normal though xd

lovely game! I ran into a bug coming down the ladder at the beginning of the game before I could jump where I got stuck in the ground. Just an FYI incase you’re still  bug squashing.

This has aged extremely well. It has become an excellent parody of Elon Musk and DOGE.

i downloaded a game boy color emulator just to play this game, no regrets here! 10/10 game

Holy crap, that was an incredible game! This is the first game of yours that I’ve played, and I’m definitely gonna go through the rest of your catalog to see what else you’ve made. You’re super talented! Works great on original hardware, too!

This was so frustrating (maybe because I played on hard on my first playtrough...), but it was amazing. Also, I am in the save room after the underground chambers and I found only 24 eggs. Is the last one in the final chambers, on the way to the final boss? 

edit: I found the last egg and finished the game on hard mode

I found a decently useful glitch. I kinda want to tell, but I don't want you to remove it. So, when you reach the Rat Boss (after getting the double jump), if you're on the ground and keep either the left or the right key, you become invincible. By that, I mean the rat boss can stand next to you or throw those mice and you won't die. Was it intentional or not? Either way, PLEASE don't remove this glitch

Hi,i am confused were to go after the seoncde soul...

Great game! Can you put the source file to learn how to do like you? Thank you 

Hi, Gumpy. I just finished the game! Pretty fun, though the final boss was a bit frustrating to me. Anyway, I was curious... How long did it take for you to make this game? And, did it turn a profit? I hope these questions are not odd.

This is the second Gumpy Function game I've played and it's just as incredible. I found myself getting so invested in the story and the characters, and while it was really challenging at times (this isn't typically my genre of game), it was so rewarding finally beating it. Really loved it :)

Wow, 10/10 would buy a cartridge! Excellent graphic style and great platforming design. But still can't find the last egg xD

Really fun game! Just the right amount of challenging. The only problem I came across was that I couldn't long jump (hold X) to the left- so as I wass feeling out the area and jumped across a spike chasm the game wouldn't let me go back to get an egg :(

I have found a glitch that is quite game breaking, especially from a speed running perspective. It allows you to double jump early and i have been able to replicate it multiple times. entering  and quitting time trials will allow you to double jump, letting you skip a huge chunk of the game (including the first rising acid section) and letting you grab the second soul early

amazing game! I am usually not a big fan of metroidvania games but this is extremely good and really blew me away!

I loved Metroidvania games, so I knew I was going to like this game.

But it surpassed all expectations. A must play for anyone that likes the genre!

This game has it all. Actually, all of it. The gameplay, the art, the music and SFX, even a great story and worldbuilding!

Gumpy and co., this is genuinely one of the best games I've played. Extra applause for the art!!!

The suffering was worth it:

Is there a way to download the mobile version of it?

Stumbled across this absolute gem and I'm in love. Perfectly challenging platformer with a great story and pace. The music and design is perfectly crafted and I was hooked for 2 hours grinding through the game. I'm new to the concept of devs making their own game boy games but this feels so true to the handheld console. I crave nothing more than to play this on my game boy!

10/10 really really good game

W game

HELL YEAH that victory screen was beautiful. So worth it.

Glitched into the ground at first ladder. :(

is the antagonist elon musk lol? Great game still looking for the last egg before I finsh

Nice Metroidvania mechanics. the dark athmosphere is insane and man, the jokes. I love it

Why couldnt i jump from the very beggining of the game

....oh, I was kinda hoping for that last scene to last a bit longer but oh well the game was very fun.

did you just turn the republican party into a game's antagonist? A very fitting role

Very cool game!! I like the vibe and the dark feeling it gives, and also the jokes.

I don't know what to say about the feeling when this file opened on my old GBC ahahah it's been very fun and frustrating like the old days
