So good! I'd love seeing this as a full-fledged game! It's so fun. The art is great, and the mechanics are smooth!
Hey thanks, glad you enjoyed!
There have been some recent updates to GB Studio which make a full-fledged version more and more viable...
Yes, please!
Awesome sprites. Fun game. Keep it up!
Cheers!
Your game is the blessing from Omnissiah
*unearths ancient Necron tech* Ah yes, retro hardware.
This was so cute, I loved the lil dreadnought. I hope I can play more in the future :)
Glad you liked the dreadnought! Thanks for playing 🙏
Had fun with this! It left me wanting more for sure! Would love to see updates in the future! Really nice work!
Thank you! I'm very keen to expand the game much further.
Lando this is amazing, man. I want more! Mind posting up a .pocket when you get the chance? Looking forward to updates in the discord.
Thanks so much! I'll look up how to make one.

Great graphical style and a nice start on the gameplay. Keep it up!
Thanks shin! Will do.
very good game man, keep doing it
Thanks very much, I appreciate it! 🙏
Nice, same mechanics as a GB game from the day, I forget the name. Ninja something. Your interpretation is good though. I enjoyed playing it!
That would be "Mercenary Force", a very unique GB shooter (with ninjas). Thanks for playing!
Yeah, that’s the one! Awesome.
And now I play it again, I notice your text that says as much! 🙄
