ok screw it, here's the latest on our #gameboy #homebrew project, called Leif DX! Code by me, music by my bro, art by his son. Also, this is using a sound driver to play music/sfx ripped from #lsdj, originally made by the lsdj dev, which I modified to add sfx override capabilities! :)

And now for one of the other balls I'm juggling, implemented some new enemies more fitting to the theme of this forest level, designed/drawn by my nephew (the artist for this project), which are just ridiculously cute!
