I used the butano game engine https://github.com/GValiente/butano My source code is here (though be warned, it's VERY messy) https://github.com/blaise-rascal/KnightOwls If you want to try out gbadev, the following discord server is a great place to talk shop: Discord Overall, it was a lot of fun for me to make this GBA game, but I don't think I'll ever do another GBA project, simply because the GBA sound card is terrible. I really don't want to go to the effort to figure out how to use it to make good-sounding music.
I'm glad you enjoyed the game! I drew the sprite for Herman early in the game's development, and then just never bothered making a different final boss, haha.
as far as making the game playable without an emulator, that is certainly something I will look into. but it's tough; i'm just one person, and there are other things i'd like to work on with this game... only so many hours...

Finally beat it! Fun game, but it ended kinda early-- Herman the Merman makes a strange final boss XD

Please add a way to play this with no emulator, I don't know how to get mgba and I don't really want to get it either.
hi there! mgba is free & easy to download: https://mgba.io/downloads.html

I understand, thanks!
It works in the browser now! Best of luck on this (difficult) game
Yay! I'll play it soon.
