goooootttta have Super in there!

Oh and the musical pig is from Steamboat Willie, as this is a direct follow up to that.

Any kind :) Bugs mostly. I've gotten a comment that the top of the screen being solid causes problems, that sort of thing. Just wanna make sure it's the best it can be, and that it's fun. ☺️

I've updated the page, removing the web version to avoid this confusion. 🙂

Yeah, it's not recommended to play on mobile in web. You can't effectively do a running jump without a claw grip on the phone. I highly recommend playing on a keyboard, gamepad, or downloading the rom. That's why I put the "not designed to run on your device" on mobile.

That's the most complex game of Hangman I've ever seen!

3/3 I detest the fact that I have to be suspicious and scrutinize anyone with apparent skill. And no, I won't name names but we should have some sort of Indie Dev badge that we grant to people who didn't use AI. Real talent is earned with hard work.

2/3 I feel a bit sick and not sure how to react/approach. I'm working so hard on my little games and trying to hone my skills then boom here's this little studio with a ton of gorgeous games and they just came out of nowhere. I don't like this at all.

1/3 I recently stumbled across another Canadian small studio dev and wanted to connect but their website and games all look like they use extensive AI. Either that or they're SUPER talented. Crossposted with @openvibe.social

Well this solves the issue with Pokemon Bank being discontinued!

2/2 I will eventually get a domain and also a professional logo, just using royalty free stuff I found to get the blog bootstrapped.

Question: Would you read a Tumblr blog or should I stick with WordPress etc? (Tumblr's just so easy!) #gamedev #homebrew #retrogame #gameboy #nes #gbdev #nesdev #indieretro #gbstudio #pixelart #nesmaker #blog #community

Hey, thank you! Really appreciate that. I enjoyed making the "dialogue doily" as I call it. 😅

@capcomusa.com Dear Capcom, I will give you $80-100 CAD if you make a new AA Investigations prequel where you play as Gregory Edgeworth. Love, Everyone (probably) but definitely me. #justiceforgregory #wedalsobeokifyoubroughthimbackfromthedead

I'm not sure if this is the final box art for #Cryptsmasher, but it's one I really like. 👹 I prefer the layout without the GBC banner. Maybe that's the Collector's Edition. 🤔 #pixelart #solodev #indiedev #retrogame #gamedev #mickeymouse #gbdev #gbstudio #gameboy

A Game Boy Color box art showing Mickey looking over his shoulder in trepidation at an apparition under the title card Cryptsmasher. A round "sticker" in the bottom left corner reads "Adam Holmes' Tales of Mickey the Mouse".
