Just played the demo for this game and it's amazing! I love colorful, cozy simple games like this. And it made me feel very inspired for what I want to do myself now. If you like games like Kirby, I highly recommend this one

In the latest issue of Debug magazine, they listed the Top 100 games reviewed by the magazine so far, and my game Kudzu made the list!

I know for Sofia they wanted to wait until the physical editions had started to ship out. Then I asked about putting the digital up for sale.

Jake @jakemacher.bsky.social · 24/03/2025

I've contacted Bitmap about that. I'm so sorry and embarrassed this is happening. They've told me that the plugin that's causing the problem will be removed.

So smooth for GBC. What's your secret?

Jake @jakemacher.bsky.social · 29/01/2025

I made it using GB Studio. It creates Gameboy ROMs that you can flash on to a game cartridge and play it on real hardware. It's super cool.

Jake @jakemacher.bsky.social · 27/01/2025

Amazing! Really nails the classic gameboy look and feel.

I hope the Planetary Parade tonight doesn't trigger a Monster Moon. Maybe that only happens in my Gameboy game Sofia the Witch Curse of the Monster Moon. I've been informed that the standard edition has shipped so anyone who order that version should be getting it very soon. #astrology #gameboy

Thanks. I'm pretty happy with how it came out. I really need to get around to making backgrounds.

Jake @jakemacher.bsky.social · 16/01/2025

What's happening here is I'm testing out scoring and saved hi-scores. for my Gameboy Cute'em Up, I Want Candy. I'm also tracking collectables to access a mini game, seeing if players collect 5 peppermint candies. Temp backgrounds from Sofia the Witch. #gameboy #gbstudio #candy #indiegame

A new work in progress video for my Gameboy Cute'em Up. I Want Candy. I now have a working HUD. It took some work getting a vertical score to work in GBStudio. But I think its working pretty nicely. #gameboy #nintendo #gbstudio #cute #gamedev #pixelart #candy

I Want Candy update, my Gameboy cute 'em up. Enemies drop different candy based on waves. The enemies have different states that I can control so I can recycle enemies without them feeling too much like a copy paste. The next step is to build some real levels. #gameboy #indiegame #schmup #gbstudio
