That run goes so hard wth

Thank you for such a glowing review. Im working on a full version at the moment. ;)

Hey, thanks! 

I can do a dev log explaining it in detail once the full version is released :) but simply put, I use palette swapping to hide or show the spikes at the beginning of the jump. 

Thanks heaps bud. Yeah, Wendy Every Witch Way is great! Thanks for playing.

Erm, its supposed to Z or J... I updated it using a more recent version of GB Studio and that may have changed the button config on me. I'll make the change back to Z and J when I can. Thanks for letting me know.

You can always download the .gbc ROM and play in a Game Boy emulator if you want to map the keys to anything you like.

Oh rad!! Thank you for that. Im still working on it so it will see some updates in future.

cheers! Yeah, I think making a platformer with the current version of GB Studio  makes for rather simple core gameplay but i am trying to making it at least a little more exciting with my level designs. I'm still working on more content too ;)

Oh wow! High praise. Thank you very much :)

You're welcome!! Thanks for playing bud. Really glad to hear you enjoyed it.

Rad! Yeah, I need to make more games with stupid titles and weird looking protagonists.

Hey. Thanks for the kind words. I'll take a look at what's going on with those bugs. Thanks for letting me know!

Speedrunning the game is fun once you have completed it. There is a link in the itch description to the speedrun.com page if you want to check out videos of both my time and the current world record by ReFlex. For now, your best option is using LiveSplit to time your runs. I will see if I can implement an in-game timer at some stage.

Cheers!

oh damn, thanks heaps for the bug report. I'll fix that up and put an update out at the end of the week.

Man, thanks so much for the video playthrough! Love to see it. Cheers for playing.

Thanks! Is the game loading into a screen that tells you to play using a color device? It doesn't matter if it's a .gb or .gbc file, they are the same file for all practical purposes. It will run the color version regardless as long as your emulator is set to run in GBC mode.
The game checks whether it's running on a DMG or something else. If its DMG, it will take you to that screen I mentioned above since some mechanics require a color screen to function properly, otherwise it loads into the game normally. So it sounds like the emulator you are using maybe be set to run in DMG mode? I recommend using BGB and setting that to GBC mode.
I just uploaded a new .gbc file (I just added the "c" on the end so it isn't confusing to anyone in the future).
Thanks for reaching out and letting me know of your issue.

Thank you :)

Thanks so much for the recorded play through. Really helps me polish the experience. I saw you trying to "collect" the sign in level 3. Need to make a change to the color palette there for example... 

lol. Yeah, Bulk is a weirdo. Glad you enjoyed it and cheers for the kind words.

Thanks heaps! it's hard to know where to draw the line with the star count required to progress. I try to make it somewhat challenging but not over the top. Just enough to pressure you to work a bit harder than you normally would. I am seriously considering continuing development because it was a really fun game to make and I have a bunch more ideas. Thanks for playing!

Thanks so much. Really glad you had a nice time. :)

Thanks, there is one can of beans to find per world. Head to level 1-5 to start ;)

Yes, I was inspired by the jump switching mechanic in that game and wanted to see if it was possible to code in GB Studio for the Game Boy. I wanted to push the speedrun style of gameplay using that mechanic for the game jam as I thought it would be fun to explore. This game adds more unique mechanics later on but the start if the game mirrors moonleap (which is such an amazing game in it's own right!)

I think you have to get stars by completing levels in the given amount of time

Cheers, I'll have to check out that bug you mentioned. Uploading an updated version with bug fixes is locked until the voting period of the jam is finished but I will be spending some time bug fixing and polishing the difficulty in order to release a final version (that isnt rushed!) in a couple of weeks.

I found the problem with that bug. The two coins on the right side of that level have the wrong variables attached to them. This also causes issues with trying to get all 17 stars.  Thanks for letting me know!
For anyone that happens to experience this bug, if you get the one in the top left corner last, then that solves the issue. I'll fix this in the coming update.

Thank you, bud! I spent so much time on it the past week. The last two days of the jam I did 12 hours work on it each day to get it finished. So I'm really happy you think highly of it. :)

Thanks! I'm surprised you found the controls slippery. The deceleration is almost instantaneous with the player characters movements when he is on the ground.

omg thank you for that

I wondered about that. I was just about to file a bug report for this level when I looked and saw that you'd already found it. I'd assumed the label was wrong, so I kept beating on it trying to get it down to 28. I took a different approach of straight up off the middle, down to the right and bounce (not jump) back to the middle - it just *barely* made it in 28. (if I jumped off the right one, I'd just miss the 28 target). But I like your loopback better.

Cheers! The buttons are mapped to suit typical keyboard play, although some people's typical is different to others, of course. I just mapped it to that because that's what feels right to me. But it's neither here nor there since the 'B' button doesn't do anything during game play anyway.
