Warning:

The game will have bugs or glitches due to having to stop development two months before the game jam ends due to work-related reasons. But the project source may be useful as a template for a tactical espionage-like game on GB Studio. No need to credit me, though it's appreciated. Thank you.

Overview

Iron Cor - Stainless [formerly named 4444] is a tactical espionage action game, similar to Metal Gear Solid for the GameBoy Color and a submission for the GB Compo 2023 with the theme "You are the Monster". This template serves as a base for making stealth/action shooters on  GB Studio 3.1. The shooting mechanic is revamped from my game Days Without

This looks so good, but no matter which emulator I use, the controls stop working after entering the game>?  (new game>then no controls work)

Very professional !

I was looking forward to playing this a lot and it didn't disappoint. Great gameplay and graphics and I loved the story bits.

aww, thanks! I am terribly sorry if this doesn't live up to your expectations though. its not a finished game by any means, but this can serve as base for more tactical stealth games in the future

But it did live up to my expectations. Felt very polished. :)

I really liked the style of the game and what I coiuld do until I get the first item in mission 2 (is the screen turning to back that long is normal?)

thanks!

Nice project! I tried the web version and unfortunately ran into a couple of glitches (my character flew out of the screen after the briefing of mission 2, and once I got seen by guards there they would stay in alert once restarting the stage)

But the idea is quite nice, and I know jam games are tough to iron out totally. Looks great and have a lot of promises for sure for a GBC game!
