Love this concept! GBA <3

Hmm. Interesting. I wouldn't have thought of entering under an emulator. Nice And simple. Good game!

Thanks everyone!

Very unique concept of putting it under an emulator. Props purely for coming up with that! :D

Haha, cool idea! :)

Must be the first GBA emulator entry I've seen, interesting.

I totally would have played this in my GBA days.

If I had the time I would totally dig up my old GBA homebrew cart and play this on a physical GBA, but the emulator will have to do for now :)

Great work! Props for different tech

Thanks Cake&Code! I finally found my old DS Homebrew card, so I'm playing my game on my DS now! Lots of fun :D

It's impressive given that it's a GBA rom, but maybe you should have sacrificed coolness there to have time in which to make it more fun.

Neat game. I wouldn't even know how to begin programming a Game Boy Advanced game. It ran in my emulator, VBA-M on Ubuntu Linux with no problems.

Thanks for your comment xgeovanni! If I had more time to work on this game, I would have definitely polished it up! But, I am proud of what I accomplished in the limited time allowed (and on a platform new to me).

First of all, thank you for taking your time to comment on my game! <3

Kudos for making a GBA game. I took a quick glance at the source and I had no idea you could write c for the GBA. How do you compile it?

Anyway, cool job!

Hey Zim! I included a make file. You need Virtual Boy Advance to run the game. Once you have it installed, you can use make vba to compile and run it.
