‼️ Major Update Has Been Released ‼️
Loved these one) Gameplay is simple but engaging. Plot and atmosphere remind me The Shadow over Innsmouth)
Section with few rats battles in a row a little bit too long,
Loved the game wish there was a bit more build up and context but still enjoyed it
I liked this game a lot! I played it on stream for my Halloween special and there were indeed possums and they tried to kill me! Lovely! And all in a GameBoy color ROM. Thanks for making this game! :D
this was an absolute gem! genuinely wish this was a full game
This is cool! Old school feel and you're on rails lol, still one my favorite games played on itch
Nice game! The atmosphere caught me!
fun fun fun
also go follow Roowster on twitch
super cool makes you want to save the girl , people should in real life tho not just these games
Really nice experience. It felt nostalgic even though I've never played it before. 10/10
I also uploaded a play through of this game on my Youtube channel. :)
Decent game for a GB game.
OMG best game ever
That escalated quickly
Guys am i the only one or the music is just little annoying cuz its lagging, i loved the game but honstly i want to fix the sound problem and make the sound/music clear
Excelente juego, interesante el concepto de las zarigüeyas, muy corto para mi gusto pero me gustó la historia y la ambientación.
Aquí dejo un Gameplay
i didn't want to shoot the possums 💔💔💔
felt like a colonizer at the end icl 💀
I was wandering around the internet and wound up in this trailer park. I love how expressive the characters are. You're doing so much with a limited color palette and pixels. Amazing :)
5/5
love it
This was really fun!! The ending was a twist I wasn't expecting at all lmao! I really loved the style of the game, and how it wasn't afraid to be gorey. I wanna be a possum too now 💙
This is a good one. Gave me goosebumps at the end!
I actually felt bad at the end
Played it on my game boy color and loved it. Creepy and well made. Wish there were more gb games like it!
This.. this I peak mobile gaming right here.
Played after midnight stuck in a hospital bed. A+, friend!
The visuals are amazing and music very fitting. The shooting-mechanic was alright but would've been more interesting with more sound effects. Very interesting story premise that really caught my interest. Great game!
Playing on my phone was an.. adventure, but this was sooooo fun to play!!!
Hey man! Very nice ! Playing from my phone, interesting gameplay ! But it is difficult to shoot opposum xd
that was an amazing game with a really good plot twist ! such a shame my controller wasn't compatible with it
Have to give credit where credit is due...This was deeply unsettling and reminded me of how games use to really look as a child on my Game Boy. You sir, did EXCELLENT! I love the game! Keep it up!
Fun little game, I did not see that "twist" coming
This was an interesting concept! Third game featured in my video here:
This was a cool game!
As someone who had opposum since they were babies.... I didn't want to hurt them. I'm glad I failed the shots.
Great game
lol, this reminds me when i helped my pops at the gas station at night, one time 3 opossum's broke in, funnest experience of mah life
This was fun. Inspired me a bit.
Wow, this game was crazy! I enjoyed it, loved the uniqueness of the story. I work the night shift and when I drive home from work, I'll see an opossum every once in a while and think of this game, lol.
Nice that's cool to hear! I'm glad you liked it.
