GAME MECHANICS

The game is a dilemma of attacking, searching, healing, and upgrading weapon. The maps are designed that you won't always be able to get to things in the order you want to. Planning ahead is crucial. As is a certain amount of luck! Every action matters.

CONTROLS

Standard RPG rules apply. Direction buttons move you around and use button A to interact. Use the SELECT button to mute music. Pressing button A when not in front of an object will search the area for helpful items.

COMPATIBILITY

The game is for the Game Boy Original and should be playable on any Game Boy or emulator that can play .gb files.

A .pocket file is now available for the Analogue Pocket

On some handhelds you can copy the zip itself. This will ensure the .gb file doesn't get corrupt.
