-The game:

"Gimme Your Heart" is a kind of adventure/ puzzle game where you have to give one of your heart in exchange to progress trough the story. Adorable balloons, fancy snakes...Funny and eccentric characters awaits through your short adventure!
Anyway It was very fun creating this!

-First experience:

It was my first time making a game. I know nothing about programming, I just like to do pixel art and create characters and stories. Not having basics or time is hard, but is very challenging.

-Made with...:

The game was made in GB Studio, I just discovered the program a few days ago together with tiled... It is easy but of course has a lot of limits. It was very easy to built since GB Studio supports web. You will also be able to play It on your smartphone!

-Bugs:

GB Studio has different bugs. In this game specially It has one in the big map with the house and the last map, the dialogue box appears corrupted and I have no idea why.

One of the bests I've tryed so far. The art, the intro and that duck mom are just amazing. Congratulations!

This was a cute little experience and I'd absolutely love to see more of it ! I do hope you'll update it and add more levels to it because the only real downside I have to say about this game is that it is too short.

Never used GB Studio but this was a great game.

So cute. I love your art! Did you also do the music? Incredible for a FIRST game.

Short, sweet, and nostalgic! I wasn't aware of GB Studio, that's pretty neat. I probably spent more time walking around looking at the game's beautiful art than trying to make it to the end!

That's a very cool game! It looks great and the sound is very cool! Nice use of the theme

@harksa Thank you! I'd really like to make other levels. I already have the tiles for them, is just that thinking about puzzles and dialogues takes time..!

Heh, very neat! I really loved the gameboy feel with the spritework and the music.

Next time let's sit down to make a longer continuation to this game! I want to find out what the snake needs all those hearts for!

thanks! @youpeoples the music was made by @cornettheory . Since It was my first game I got stucked a lot. When It happened I just draw a lot of pixel art, and with all the tiles I try to create maps and ideas!

the dialogues had such Pokemon vibes and I felt nostalgic (er, I haven't played Pokemon in ages). well done!

maxr0030 Apr 2019, 17:49

Really nice retro vibes, also I'm a big fan of that Game Boy cartridge art!

z0rlog30 Apr 2019, 19:58

Instant like for a GB game. Felt very nostalgic to play, great job!

Samuli30 Apr 2019, 20:38

Awesome, another GB game (I did one for this LD as well)!

GB Studio is a fantastic program. I don't personally use it as I can handle code well, but it is nice to see barrier to entry, even for retro games development getting lower. This was a REALLY good for a first game. You should be proud of yourself.

Mahou30 Apr 2019, 21:28

Omg this has the cutest game I have played on Ludum Dare, characters are cute, song are cute, everything is cute, probably I will try to make a game boy game on the next LD too!

@the-nomi @maxr00 @z0rlog Thank you! I'm glad so many people are playing and enjoying this game. I wasn't very sure while making it that people would be able to enjoy It...!
@samuli Than you for your kind support, I want to make more levels in this game now!
@mahou Thanks! You should totally give it a try!
