I am a solo game dev making  Game Boy styled games as a hobby. This game was made in GB Studio by Chris Maltby. The game is a rogue lite with randomly generated levels. This was a project I made to test how random generation could work in GB Studio. I hope to make a DX version in the future with colour, more game mechanics, and updates/fixes if required.
