I just picked this up and played through a bit of it. On the whole, I like it. I am looking forward to loading this up on my Gameboy emulator and playing it.
The art style is so very GameBoy Color, in that "Mega Man Xtreme" kind of look.
The music is definitely reminiscent of the Castlevanias on the original GameBoy.
The slide ability rocks my socks! You definitely capture many of the best aspects of platforming during that era.
Screen shake when you hit an enemy. This is so extremely satisfying.
There is only one area that could use some polish, and I would very much like to see this improved.
Jumping doesn't feel right -- it's too fast and makes it difficult to time attacks in mid air. The character's velocity should be damped down a bit. I can never seem to jump and whip the candles up high the first time.
Glad I picked this up. Looking forward to more in the series!
Eyyy, been meaning to pick this up for a while so got ye to one sale away from the goal. 'Grats for when that happens too EDIT: Aaaand got a gift copy too so goal's been hit. Hell yeah.
May I ask how you play .pocket files? Do you place them on the root of an Analogue Pocket's SD card, or the GB Studio folder? I'm not sure where the ROMs go.
hi! You go to Tools and run GB Studio and choose your game. To be detected, .pocket files have to be placed in a GB Studio folder on the SD card (GB Studio will create this for you on first launch). Can't use any sub-folders for organizing, they all have to be in the GB Studio folder.
Getting some visual glitches when getting hit or hitting enemies while playing the .pocket version on an AP, seems to do some horizontal screen tearing.
Hello. I will buy a cart when that is released. I played the demo and now I'm buying the digital version. This inspires me to create a game through GBStudio, so with that in mind, I have to support the creators of fantastic content like this.
Wow, I like the unique style! What are the exact differences between the free and paid versions? I think more people will consider buying this game if you make this more clear.
hello, the difference is pointed out in the devlog of the free and full release, and about the sounds, ive no problems in that in my end, maybe its your device? thank you for playing
Nope, I can only hear sound from 1 speaker (right channel). Tested this on my MacBook (internal & external speakers) and Analogue Pocket (both portable & docked). All other GBC games give sound on stereo channels.
There are plenty around! I haven't talked to any yet myself because I don't have a game to show off but I know there are publishers that will pay royalties on units sold. Check out Ferrante Crafts and Incube8. Those are two I can think of off hand. :3
thanks! Your game is great too! strong Zelda LA vibes, might wanna do a similar genre too someday! "crashing in an island, waking up in a beach" cliched the intro too
Hey Elv! Its Stocke. Just played your game, its awesome! I got to level 2 and died at the boss lol. Mega classicvania gb vibes. Really loving what im seeing here, looking forward to playing again in the future! this is looking to be something really special. best of luck to you and your team!
EEEYYY!!!! Finally checked it out lol, thank you greatly! hope to see this game or some other fan vanias on stream someday, thank u man! stay tuned for what comes next 😉 😉 😉
Played the first level and died in the middle of the second one because I was trying to rush through the pipes a bit too much! :D
I'm really digging this game. It looks really good and controls fine, although I feel the gravity is a bit too stiff. I am curious to play more of this and where all this is leading: good job on this one!

How much of the game does Nyghtmare Free cover?
Hi, I'd like to volunteer to translate your game from English into Brazilian Portuguese.

Thanks! It works!
playing well on GBC and Everdrive but i cant get the GBC file to show on Analogue pocket. any tips?
hi! idk if that is an issue with the analogue pocket, since i don't have one to test, maybe try the .pocket file included?

Also couldn't help noticing the sound of the game only comes out of my right speaker... Is this intentional or a bug? (I am playing the free version)

Amazing! I'm loving it so far. Can wait to see what updates come to this (like part 2).
wow thanks!
It’s progressing so well
:O very good!! character moves a bit slower than i'd like though, and the gravity is very extreme. other than that its fantastic :)
good game as a Concept Keep going might play some more later. i see good potential.
thank you for the hard work
Alpha just released?!? Awesome! I love the graphics! Will see if I get time to beat this later.
