Please read this before playing:

This game is different from the E3 Demo, and it has a lot of bugs.

• GameBoy Color, Super GameBoy, GameBoy SP, GameBoy Advance OR ANY GB Emulators are required to play the roms. 
• Like the previous demake, this build doesn't have the Pogo [Lunge] mechanic integrated in it, as well as upwards slashing.
• Beautiful pixel art inspired by MS-DOS and PICO-8 styles.
• No Rosary / Rosary Strings [Currency] yet.
• No quests and crafting yet.
• Added new / simpler tools accessed by pressing the Tool Cycle button and used by pressing the Skill / Tool use button [Dash, Needle Throw, Buzzsaw, Back Step]
• Boss attack patterns are altered to fit GameBoy limitations.
• Known bugs cause some mini bosses and or major bosses to stay on screen even after it has been killed. [They can still be a threat, so please restart your game and fight carefully next time.]
• Other bugs sometimes stop the Player animations after certain tasks. [Exit and Re-enter area to reload animation frames.]
• There's also a bug that the engine confuses the Player "Falling" instead of "On Ground" when standing on certain platforms. [There's no harm in it, except you cannot use ground skills/tools while on these platforms.]
• There is an early easter egg in the game. [Do not leave the area, go right instead, and kill the enemy on the last room. You then return to the first room and find the easter egg has appeared.]

Special thanks to mossbag for letting me use his bug-sona in game as Lore Keeper, Mossbug.
