If you're playing on the web, click the pause icon at the top left. If you're playing in an emulator, make sure to unzip the zipfile so you can choose the correct rom (loading the zip probably chooses the first one it sees)
I have play your game I like what I play I can't wait to see what you do next I brought deom ver but had laptop die so I lose it but I did get to the demo it was fun. Keep up the good work it's not easy making a game anything can happen but kwon this team can do Leo gera.
This is amazing :) If your team ever makes a PC port, it would mean alot if there is either a x86 (32bit) or a UWP (ARM64) windows version available as well. Thank you so much and keep up the amazing work <3
Experiência irada, a simplicidade cria uma ótima empatia, principalmente para novos jogadores. Os puzzles são rápidos, tem uma boa dificuldade e o gráfico está incrível. Joguei com a ROM de GBA pelo Retroarch no XSS, ficou muito bom.
This is an absolutely charming game, with cute graphics and solid mechanics! :) I can't wait to purchase this someday! May I ask what game engine you used to make this?
For Goodboy we're using our own engine written in the Nim programming language, but the easiest way to get started with GBA dev nowadays is the Butano engine (requires some modern C++ skills).

Hello there! I missed the Kickstarter but this is an instant fave! Is there any way I could buy a cartridge version since I cannot pledge? Would love to be able to play on my GBA SP! You guys are awesome for bringing back my fave console to life! :D
I had such a fun time with the demo! This is the kind of game I'd have grown up being obsessed with, and y'all captured that era of platformers excellently. Really looking forward to the full release! :D
It's 'A' on the GBA (rightmost button - B on the xbox layout) same as Mario and most platformers on the GBA, but you can remap them around in an emulator. We'll add an in-game swap to the full game if we can.
Hello, Im the Editor In Chief for a game magazine based in Cuba and I would like to make Rik, the creator a small written interview if its possible. Thanks!

I'm a backer, and I just finished the demo on my DSLite using an EZ Flash Omega and LOVED the entire experience! It played extremely well.
One request for the final game however would be to add support for the "boot with addon" function on the EZ Flash Omega, especially seeing as it's being recommended as a preferred method to play the game on original hardware. I missed being able to go from the game back to the card menu as I can with other games, rather than having to power down the system each time.
Also, after reading some of the comments below I wanted to add that I actually really enjoyed the segments where different equipment was lost. It was a unique way to get the brain working to get figure out how to get through those parts! It was also really satisfying to beat the boss once I figured out what to do.
Thanks so much! We'll look into adding support for this, though it might be impossible without an update to the EZ Flash firmware itself (as I believe the patch is intended for games that used the official SDK from back in the day). I'll have to investigate some more. :)
Looking back at this game after a while. Still looks amazing! I recommend getting it translated into German just because it's a pretty common language, but that's just me.
I feel like having a map of the area might help with avoiding getting lost, as I got a bit frustrated with this when playing. Apart from this, I really enjoyed the game.
The save data allows up to 232−1 shards, but the count will display incorrectly if you have more than 65,535, due to the optimised number-to-string conversion library that we're using.

I noticed you write in European Portuguese and I got curious. Which language did you choose to play? English or Brazilian?
I played in portuguese (brazilian)
OMG is amazing! I didn't know about this game and and I absolutely want the physical copy for GBA.
I installed the demo ROM on 3DS, well done guys, the graphic, animations are incredible and the command very responsive.
I have a GBA SP I hope there will be no problems.

Thanks so much, shy dog!
Why, Just why??? Why is Jump bound on B, not A? Why do yoy do this to me?
It's 'A' on the GBA (rightmost button - B on the xbox layout) same as Mario and most platformers on the GBA, but you can remap them around in an emulator. We'll add an in-game swap to the full game if we can.
this game is so dang cool! but i wish a could change the controls.
Hi, How am I supposed to beat the first boss? The fight seems endless and my shots don't have any effect on the boss
Use the charge blast on their blocks so that they rush into the spikes, then you can shoot them while they're dazed.
Thanks, I beat the demo, now time to find Azure
good luck!

Impressive work
This game is so cool.The Chinese translation is great.
I will play it on my DSi.
Looking back at this game after a while. Still looks amazing! I recommend getting it translated into German just because it's a pretty common language, but that's just me.
I love the art keep it up
The gameplay is good.
Very cool!
Yo ho yohoou
WOW
טובבבבבבבבבבבב
i need a map too for the game please.
Just for you 😁: Map
(The full game will have an in-game map!)
Thank you.
This is beautiful! Is there a tool I could use to rip the maps from the full release to make a strategy guide?
I feel like having a map of the area might help with avoiding getting lost, as I got a bit frustrated with this when playing. Apart from this, I really enjoyed the game.
Thanks! Map is definitely something we're planning for the full game :)
What is the shard limit? I got 1036 shards, and I have no idea how high I could get.
