Squishy the Turtle is a puzzle game written for the Nintendo Game Boy. You play as a turtle, who must collect his eggs while avoiding the spiders and crabs covering the landscape.
Squishy has a special power - he is able to grow and shrink at will. Some places will only be accessible by Squishy in either form.
The rivers are infested with piranhas, so squishy must be big when crossing them to avoid piranha bites. Likewise, there are tiny spaces (like portals) that the big, slow form of Squishy cannot fit through. Spiders are also afraid of the big squishy, but crabs seek after him for food. Can you collect all of the eggs and get to safety?
Controls:
- Z (Console A): Grow/Shrink
- Enter (Console Start): Pause
- Arrow Keys (Console DPad): Move
IMPORTANT: If the laggy sound is bothering you, download the ROM, and an emulator such as VisualBoyAdvance. This is an issue with the Flash emulator, not with the game itself!
Notes:
- Yes, this runs on real hardware. Tested using a GB USB 64M from kitsch-bent.
