I ported the Muriel minigame from "Garden Variety Body Horror - Rare Import" by @jlhgames.bsky.social to #GameBoy!
Experience what happened before the events of "Prototype Mansion - Used No Cover" from Muriel's perspective!

Progress on the second zone's boss!
The crane is now fully functional and I'll get to work on the boss's attack patterns next ☠️
The graphics are obviously not done 👨🎨

Caught and fix'd a time challenge breaking bug (sorry speedrunners 🐇).
If you started holding a directional button at the right time when the screen faded in, the timer and actors would remain frozen until next button press.
You can still try it in the demo! #GameBoy

For #ScreenshotSaturday let’s peep behind the curtains to see how Roguecraft DX’s 10x10 rooms made it to #GameBoy
The GameBoy screen is constructed from 8x8 pixel tiles.
(20 → and 18 ↓)
A 10x10 grid of 8x8 pixels could work but it’d be tiny 👀
A 10x10 grid of 16x16 pixels is too large 😕

Played trough 36 games this year and had a blast!
Me liking or disliking a game does not translate to game being good or bad, just how I felt at the end of it :)

"Hummer Team" was also responsible for the infamous "Somari"
An ambitious but very crude pirate #NES game
Since then "Terwilf" has worked on fixing this bootleg.
And with v.1.7 this #romhack has turned into a legit good #Sonic game!

Been a bit sick lately, so progress has been slow, but I'm back at it again 💪
Here's before & after (in the comments) comparison of the second zone's last stage (jump challenge route).
