SlugcasterGB

Port of Slugcaster only for the Gameboy Color. It does not work on the DMG/Pocket or SuperGameboy.  The game is quite dark, so it is recommended to play it on a modded Gameboy or an emulation device for a more enjoyable experience. Especially the colors pop better on backlighted devices.

Gamedev notes:

I discovered this small game couple years ago and always wished to play it on the original Gameboy. Obviously, due to technical limitations, I had to scale some things back, but aside from the flickering, I think the result is acceptable. I would have loved to use the original music, but my skills with trackers are very limited, so I used a song from Beatscribe instead. If someone is able to recreate the song in the .uge format, I would be happy to implement it.

The high score stops at 999. If you’re crazy enough to reach it, a winner is you. Have fun! (I wouldn’t bother.)
