I am open to talking about this. Please shoot me a message on discord: vrnsmth

We were trying to make it feel like a city that was abandoned, but I could see how it would be frustrating with very little to do in between the quest items. We are working to expand this game into a more immersive questline that would culminate in the end of the game, with more combat interactions in between.

Thanks for playing! We were hoping it would feel sadly sprawling. I'm glad that came across. In a more fleshed out version I think it would be cool to hide ammo, more guns, bandages, quests, and narrative items you could interact with.

Thanks so much for playing! 

Yeah the houses were going to be fleshed out to include more narrative/quests, and to be a little more immersive. I added some of the interactions to tell you the doors are locked,  then occasionally there would be an open door that was meant to have a lot of junk left from the tenants clearing out to head for a ship. If you look around, MOST of the ones where you can get in were also surrounded by houses with locked doors as sort of a clue where to find the houses.

great tip on the browser blocking, I’m going to add that to the description.

Fun! got pretty hard 6 or 7 waves in hahaha. Let me know if you need music in the future, I can help out! discord: vrnsmth

thank you :)

Aaaah that’s what it was. I was just pumping constantly hahaha. 

thank you so much <3 it was a labor of love. We are currently considering fleshing it out more :)

great art, banger music, phat space whales

Doesn't look or feel too much like a gameboy game but I do like the inventory mechanic. could be cool in a roguelike

good work! I think it's a little far away from the gameboy theme but otherwise a decent quick space shooter

very cool demo, the music was sweet. screen transitions seem a little slow but the effect is still reminiscent of link's awakening. Also liked the idea of loading up ammo one at a time to use it- but that using it also hurts yourself. pretty cool

Hello, Bored in a Basement are a GBStudio developer, a game designer/writer, and a dedicated playtester seeking members to work with on this jam.

We are seeking:

- a pixel artist

- a Music and SFX composer

about GBStudio: It’s a lightweight, free, and easy to use dev environment that can make high quality games with zero code. 

about GBStudio for artists: there are only 4 distinct colors you can use with GBStudio art and sprites, and all color interpretations are then handled by the emulator/hardware video encoder. Some artists prefer to work in layers in more inspired color and then recolor down to 4tone- but that won’t likely be necessary for this jam

About GBStudio for music: you’ll need to use the internal composition program found in GBStudio 3.2. Alternatively you could use another MOD file maker but they are a bit rare

About GBStudio for sound effects: I have never been super successful here but from my understanding you have to do some band pass filtering on the high and low end and the samples can’t be longer than 3.8something seconds.

Can you have multiple party members/multiple enemies?

Pretty hard to play. The music is a little bit repetitive but catchy. I had no idea what I was doing but enjoyed it anyway.

Hilarious inspiration, I loved that cutaway in the show. I wish I could play solo though, I have no friends :(

Plays smoothly, doesn't lag or anything crazy like that. Pretty hard, though! Isn't in the format of the Nokia 3310, though.

Very fun orbital mechanic, I liked this a lot!

Very cool idea with the delivering mail mechanic, I liked that a lot.

Hello, I am a composer/sound designer with more than a decade of experience and I am seeking interesting projects to work on.

I’m looking for something in the first person or third person perspective (side scrollers and novels don’t really do it for me) and something action focused + narrative driven would be ideal.

I’d like to make your game really come to life!

Check my profile for game jam projects I’ve worked on previously. Additionally, a collection of my compositions from other titles is available at SoundCloud.com/vrnsmth.

My discord is vrnsmth#1687, feel free to reach out.

Very cool as a test project, and I like the hotter/colder using the distance from the end destination, that was cool

Seems like this would work as part of a larger game and would be an interesting puzzle in an adventure setting!

Loved the aesthetic and sound design. The gameplay mechanic of unscrewing the screws was unexpected and I died the first time but I loved the sense of danger it gave me. Super cool idea!

Very cool prototype, love the sound design as a sound designer myself.

I saved my soul!! Great music!

Very cool light effect and I like the idea behind the game. The jump mechanic is a little tough to get a grip on but I made it like 30m and started to get the hang of it :P

I love how big the map is, and the sound effects for the ghosts in the chests was great! MY screen on my laptop glitched out at one point and I was concerned you had added a jump scare in there LOL lots of fun, very cute :)

p.s. thanks for playing Shadows Under The Bed :D

Thanks for checking it out! 

I tried sending you a message but it didn't work. Try messaging me instead :D

Good job! I like that the upgrade system is a dentist's office ^^
