This is an absolute gem of a game! It has tons of shorter levels that are really fun. The controls are fantastic, there's a ton of variety to the worlds, unique gameplay moments, plenty of secrets, and great humor too! A really wonderful platformer that easily stands alongside the best on the GBC.

Been sitting on this little story trailer for ages. But the game kept selling out again and again. And it wouldn’t have made much sense to promote a game that is not readily available 😅
Buck and the Cursed Cartridge is now back in stock at #ModRetro and #GameStop.

to young people: you may at some point have heard about the Y2K problem. some people may have told you it wasn't a big deal
i need you to understand the only reason it wasn't a big deal was that everyone spent loads of time fixing code before it could become a problem, which is why it never did

It's so dumb it's kind of funny...
My Switch 2 won't let me download a free to play game, because I have already played it on my Switch 1.
Instead, it wants me to transfer my virtual game card for that game. So, now I have to charge my Switch 1 to tranfer my license for a free game 😑

It's a really short but cozy little platformer.
And it's only $3 on:

I've made a pixel grid overlay to make videos and screenshots from my games look more retro.
Already used it in my last post. But still not entirely sure whether it's just an unnecessary distraction 🤔

How about Doomslinger Dungeon - a first-person dungeon-crawling rogue-lite shooter?
I built this one for #gbjam 2024 in around a week. But I still really enjoy playing this one myself 😊
