Played the game while doing cardio. Fun game, well written. The character dialogue art was consistent and creepy, except for the young woman at the beginning of the game. This may have been intentional, considering her part in the story. Regardless, she stuck out for better or for worse. Bill's sprite was the creepiest one, and the most memorable. The panning pace of the pixel art to bring attention to the details was well done. Foreshadowing art with the critters was *chef's kiss*. good stuff, Ben.
The part where the main character thinks to themselves after an event makes the direction of the game clear, no getting lost.
The character's personalities felt consistent with their notes, which is a big deal, considering that sometimes even AAA game companies fail at this. Dana did well with that.
I'm not a good source of authority (if at all) when it comes to music, but I think that the music did its job establishing the ambience of the game. There were parts of the game where the music changed, greatly highlighting the mystery and creepiness of the game. This deserves praise. Good stuff on Lunchz's part.
The ending, I enjoyed. The ending stuck in my mind, and was masterfully done, requiring quality art, music, and dialogue to deliver the depth of the final event ; a testament to all talented parties involved. I think that art's quality is determined by how memorable it is after the game has ended; The ending I'll definitely remember.
Took like 10-20 minutes to finish. And the game is only 0.5 Mb, what an accomplishment. Well done game, only one play through is enough, 10/10.
Hey! I'm playing from Brazil and mann this is soo fire I really enjoy, the horror here is grateful and the OST is soo good, rly creeps me out, tysm for sharing your art!
I played this yesterday, and I liked it. Very nice art and an interesting storyline. It's like a short story told around a summer campfire... Thanks for the emotions, and keep doing this!
Hey thanks for taking down the listing. I didn't ever release Opossum Country on a cartridge because it's a very short game so that seemed kind of wasteful to me. Instead I have made two other longer horror games and will be publishing a horror pack with Incube8 games.
I will keep that in mind that you can make cartridges though!
Fourth in the line up. I'm a sucker for game boy horror. And having spent a bit of time shuffling pizza from a to b for a living this had a little bit bleed over for me. A simple tight story, which has that weird fiction thing going on. Definitely a worth while trip. Best played blind though. Good work keep it up.
I'm glad i didn't play this game as a child when i had a gameboy. Interesting story and art style but i didn't hat fear while playing so i don't if that was a horror game or not.
Very good game, although the twist was predictable there are a lot of questions left unanswered. For example, do all people in this world have….Would be nice if there was an explanation of the process/more info post credits. Overall, very good game! Bravo to you and the team!
This was really fun to play! I never had a Gameboy Color(I'm old enough that I had an original Gameboy brick though 😂) but I really loved this style of game play. I also enjoyed the story, the atmosphere, and seeing Roy's "transformation" was so cool.
Really amazing, honestly the coolest GB horror game I've played. Like other Jelter games, though, I just wish it was longer. If this game was longer and more fleshed out, it would probably be top 5 favorite GB games of all time. I also really appreciate that you make all your games playable on actual hardware!
The scene with Bill legit makes me so sad, I wish there was some good ending. Possibly a way to avoid the young girl attacking the pizza guy. It just genuinly is heartbreaking how he's so honestly upset and distrought about the death of one of his people. It really shows how things aren't as they seem though. Very well done, It's a good play and i'd love to see your work get noticed!!!
Man, I donwloaded to play in my handheld emulator before sleeping, at some point I was really scared, especially the tall man. Congrats, its a really good terror game. I didn't even know you could do those shoot scenes in a game boy, I imagine how difficult it was
This is really cool! Do you mind if I ask how you did the possum shooting scenes? Are they point-and click-scenes with a cursor? I'd like to do a similar thing with sniping sections in my Halo demake for GBC.
This was originally created in gb studio 2.0 so it was done with timers in a point and click scene like you said. I think that there's better methods though. In GBS 3.1 there are for example big sprites. In this when the possum gets bigger I had to move a whole bunch of sprites at the same time and it was really hard to stop them from glitching out.

Really good atmosphere. I had fun playing it but it feels too short.

The atmosphere was great and the pacing was perfect, I think this short length was just right to tell a sharp story. Thanks for sharing!
Nice one!
Short and to the point. I like the atmosphere.

Excellent GBC horror game! I was really taken by surprise with this one. That ending is so good!
Thank you! :)

good game! the pacing felt a bit quick, and I thought the ending came a little too soon, but i enjoyed the concept and the pixel art
cliff hanger
Great game!

Great stuff. Really liked the pixel art too.

Great game! Short and instigating.
Great game to finish in one short session. The final was awesome, didn't expect it to turn this way

people. It really shows how things aren't as they seem though. Very well done, It's a good play and i'd love to see your work get noticed!!!i feel so bad about killing the possums :(
