Escape Obliterizer is a really small game I made with a couple of friends during an hackathon in 2016 (it's available on itch.io). Back in the day we were just getting into JavaScript so naturally, the code was pretty messed up. I did however really like how the game turned out so I decided to port it to the Game Boy Color for the fun of it, as a way of learning my way around programming for the Game Boy. It's a Game Boy Color specific game, so if you happen to jam this cart into any prior Game Boy models (DMG, SGB, MGB), you'll simply be greeted with a blank screen.
The ROM is now available for download at: https://tangiblegames.itch.io/escape-obliterizer-dx
🔨 Development
Developing for a retro console always poses some limitations and I sure have felt them, mostly in terms of ROM space. Exceeding 32kb of ROM size would imply including ROM banking into the code, which I have not accounted for when I started this project. Implementing ROM banking would probably mean redoing all of the code. For that reason, there's no music in the game. Implementing music features would probably take most space in bank 1, so I decided to keep that out. On the other hand, I have also managed to include new things that the original game didn't have, like a skin selection menu, credits, noticeable incremental difficulty, a death animation, etc (hence the DX terminology). Please note that this was my first contact with the C language and Game Boy programming in general, so the code might not be the best of examples.

The game was developed in C using the Game Boy Development Kit. If you'd like to compile the code yourself, you first need to download and setup the last available version of GBDK on your machine. Then, clone this repo, run the build.bat script, and it should build a playable .GB file into the build folder. The most current build of the game can be found in the exact same folder. I've also included a task in the .vscode folder for Visual Studio Code to make your life easier. It automates the building script to run automatically every time you make changes to any .c, .h or .s files (requires the Trigger Task On Save extension).
Studio software should put your creativity first. It should empower you to perform, inspire you to create, and equip you with tools to make your content shine. Elgato game capture hd mac download.

💻 Flashing
If you'd like to play the game on real hardware, you can flash it onto chinese bootleg carts using specific hardware. I'm personally using GBxCartRW 1.3 without any hassle, but you can also use Bennvenn's Joey-Joebags or equivalent. The ROM specifications are as follows (or you can just check the lcc flags on the build.bat script): Zombie fps games pc.

🎮 Playtesting
I've playtested it thoroughly and I've also got some people on Reddit and Instagram to play it! Have had around 30 downloads since I put it up on itch.io, and very few bug reports have been filled. It has been tested in a couple of different emulators for the Web (VaporBoy), Android (My OldBoy!), Windows (BGB and Visual Boy Advance) and PSP (MasterBoy), as well as on real hardware (Game Boy Advance SP models 001 and 101, classic Game Boy Advance and Game Boy Color, both using flashed carts and using a GB Everdrive X3).
🐞 Known bugs
The colors are too dark and the contrast is too low when played on non-backlit screens You can now download an alternate version from the build folder, which fixes most issues with colors and contrast on non-backlit screens.
