Nice game! Interesting story and the art is just really polished. You nailed the gameboy rpg style. One thing that kinda felt weird is that horizontal inputs have priority over vertical inputs. But that is just a minor point overall. Good job!

great retro artstyle!

great graphics, i think the sound effects could be a little less high pitched, still cool tho

Just starting this reminded me of the nostalgia from playing Pokémon Red back in the day, graphics are great. I love that you managed to fit the theme around a real life event and executed it respectfully too.

very nice visually, interesting story. would've been nice to have more things to do but for conveying the story you wanted to get in, very nice work.

A nice little story with a lovely retro graphics style.

Really cool pixel art !

Really nice to feel the gameboy style ! Good graphics

I love the GameBo vibes!

Truly astonishing. The art is glorious and the story was touching. The sheer amount of content in the game blew me away. Great job!

What else could I say, nice story, good concept, ... ... and damn thanks for sharing the GB Tool ;) ! 5*
Just miss some music pal.

The style was really cool! The sounddesign could have been better but overall a cool game ^^

The game really lacks music. Excellent color scheme. I would have played this game on the old screen.
I did not immediately understand how to get out on the street)

Nice game GB style, love it! Wold've be nice to have some sound in the bg to help the mood.

What a fantastic game! Good aesthetic, the storytelling is there, and the pacing seems about right. All it needs now is a bangin' soundtrack!

Whoa, super impressive for a solo entry! Really enjoyed playing a game centering so much on a story, I feel like that's unusual for Ludum Dare games. Love the art style and the writing. Had to smile about the plant that fell over during the earthquake. :P

I feel like a very soft "speech" sound when the text advances would help make it feel more juicy! Some characters stayed on top of the dialog boxes, like the person guarding the hillside building.

@blinry thanks for your feedback :)
I would have loved to add speech sounds, I couldn't find a way to do that with gb studio, I might take a look how hard adding something like that would be, it'd be neat to have that as a feature.
I unfortunately only discovered the dialog box issue when I had already drawn the backgrounds and was running out of time

Nice game. I have GB Studio intalled on my computer but never used it yet. It gives me a reason to try.

Lovely game, heartwarming story, this is the first game that I played till the end good job

Super cool game! Thank you for bringing this story out of shadows. I really like almost everything in this game. Good job!

I love the idea ! Making a Game Boy game, and making it about a true story, I love it. :purple_heart:
A bit short unfortunately, but really cool !

Cool game, interesting story and well polished art!
