Because of the theme, I decided to make a funny little adventure game for the Nintendo Game Boy. I recommend using a flash cart and a real GB or a decent emulator like BGB to play this ROM. If you can't be bothered to install a Game Boy emulator, you can play it in your browser on GameJolt.
It's really cool!! It's really impressive how far you pushed your game. I have made a GB game for the LD too and it's nothing like you. Really impressive!
I'm always wowed by people who are able to make a game for actual retro hardware in 48 hours. This one's really well done, to boot, so great job.
I did find the combat a bit frustrating, like @xesenix. It would improve things a bit if tapping the d-pad turned you to face that direction before moving you - when I was next to a slime but not facing it, my instinct was to turn to hit it but that meant walking into it and taking damage.
It was fine when I got the hang of it, but frustrating at first.
The ending was hilarious, too - a great self-referential take on the theme.
Impressive that this will play in a real GB! I found the combat to be difficult because of input lag (in emulator on GameJolt at least). This lead to aggravation because I wanted to dodge but couldn't, and got hurt too much.

Can you add your game on indiexpo.net ? (it's free)
So we can include also your game in the video ;)
p.s. write #LDJAM in the game's description.
maybe, next time some sort of tutorial, because I had to search for the button
