Dang what a game. I love the traditional Japanese monsters and feel. I can't believe this was made in such little time, it almost felt like an official Gameboy game! Great stuff.
This is amazing! The music creates such a wonderful ambiance for fighting yokai and exploring the scary castle! This is pro level, I'll come back after paying rent to throw a few coins your way!
Glad you enjoyed it that much! Thank you!
Made it to the 3rd boss, but it's a bit tough for me. I'm planning to go back to it a little later. ^_^"
Nonetheless, once again; great work as always! You never cease to develop gameplay with genuine challenge.
... (So, will there be a DX version of this, too? :o)
Thank you very much!
And no promises, but I DO want to do it, but I desperately need a break xD
(The double clock speed of the GBC will hopefully eliminate the lag)
Nice game with good music! the fireballs from the dragon final boss weren't doing any damage to me not sure if that is something that needs to be fixed or not
It was an export error, I've removed the ROM for now, will reupload a fixed version later. (The issue isn't there in the browser version btw)
