It is absolutely precious but I got a bug at the beggining of the game that, for some reason, presses every movement at the same time which causes the character to go BRRRR and makes it kinda unplayable. Then a weird white screen.
A very enjoyable game, sometimes you just need some humour and nice graphics without worrying about hard platforming, continues, lives and finding hidden stuff.
A nice platforming with a nice and generous topping of adventure, loved the game ideal for a short and relaxing gaming session, with the add up of getting the "S" ranking if you are up for some challenge.
If reading "a lot" is not for you just turn off the cutscenes from the options menu. However I encourage you to take your time and enjoy the game fully as it was intended to be played, also the cutscenes are quite a pixel art beauty to watch, the humour may or may not be your cup of tea but I insist that you should play it with the cutscenes.
It took WAY too long to get to actual gameplay. And then when the level started, the dog talked forever too, still not giving the player control. Sakurai made a good video on this about how you should get the player playing as soon as possible.
This is why I created the option to turn off all cutscenes when you start a new game. That options also skips all the dialogue in the levels so player can get straight into it. Also, I didn't put any dialogue in at the start of the first level (the tutorial scene) to mitigate this.
So yes, I agree with you and would normally truncate story cutscenes to get the player playing asap as I have done in my other platformers. But when it's a game about a Comedian that ties in with his stand up special, its going to end up with more written jokes sprinkled throughout the game than normal.
Tommy edited and tightened up a whole bunch of the script towards the end of development to reduce the time spent reading words instead of playing the game, but the cutscenes and dialogue are also very important to the overall experience since its a game about a Comedian.
I had started it in 3.0 as that was out when we started the project. We migrated it to 3.2 to get some more features (like simultaneous timer scripts for example.)
I would have been keen to migrate to GBS 4 when that came out but we were so far into the project that the amount of work to successfully migrate it and complete the game before deadline was just too risky.
The touchscreen support is very nice, I wist the controls were a little higher on the screen though. It's kinda uncomfortable to holt the phone at the very bottom.
Wow! I remember getting the same results except for 2-2 (which confused me and I gave up on) & 3-3 I got an A without a star and for 3-2 I got an S rank with a star! Unfortunately, I forgot the scores and to take a screenshot so uh yeah...

Other than that, it is BEAUTIFUL-
Hey there, I'd recommend downloading the Game Boy ROM and playing with an emulato such as BGB or Sameboy

Totally love the artstyle vibe! It reminds of Corocoro comics artstyle! <3

Really nice game, It's literally a GBC game 😱

I was also interested to know which version of gb studio you used

very well made, congrats!

nice unique idea. I notice you cant die in game ?
Such an amazing game! What an achievement :)
I got all S and 150500 :D I was playing it on my GBC and then switched over to my Anbernic 35XX because the screen is nicer!
lets be honest, why should you even play on a game boy color cosole emulator if you have a pc with keyboard, its cheaper than buying both
Nostalgia, you don't get it? ;)
this text is so hard to read im at the beginning of the game and already gave up trying to read the story lmao
wait, are you playing on original gbc hardware ?
No
Really nice! I like the gameplay mechanics, simple yet practical
Gooood moooooooorning video games!
This game is really good overall rating 89/100
almost got everything

Nevermind! Here are my results (pressing the right arrow key shows you the requirements to get S rank for all stages in case you don't know.)
Good job!
