Hello, I am Korean, and I heard in a translation community that someone is working on a Korean translation of this game. Will Korean language support be available in version 1.4?
I wish I could play this, honestly. I have absolutely zero way to afford the full game and won't have the means to do so for the foreseeable future...but the demo won't be enough to sate my curiosity.
Welp, guess Goodboy Galaxy is on my list of games I'll never be able to play
This game has a very excellent gameplay, I really liked the puzzles. But at the moment all I can see are gameplays, I would love to play this complete incredible game but I can't afford it 🥹
hey man! is there any way for me to download the 1.2 version of this game? I just bought it and it looks really good but I also wanted to play it with retroachievements. congratulations on the steam release!
Thanks a bunch! I'll ask if there's a chance of the RetroAchievements set being updated. In the meantime, here's a patch to downgrade your ROM from 1.3 to 1.2.
:O wasn't expecting a response so soon. Played the demo today and you did something beautiful with this game! Thank you so much for taking the time to answer.
Just bought and downloaded v1.3 of ROM for use with mGBA and the rumble patch is saying, "Error: This patch is not intended for this ROM." Tried the rom both zipped and unzipped. Will the patch be updated to support v1.3?
Hey is this still getting a physical GBA cart release? Thought I saw it on this page a while ago, but don't now. Are you already sold out for pre orders?
Just fyi: According to their kickstarter, they even had to talk to a lawyer regarding this company. FirstPressGames is very shady and takes a lot of time to release things if they release them at all. So, we probably won't see a physical release.
Wow ok, thanks for the heads up. I will steer clear. Lots of red flags on reddit about this company. It sucks I really want to play Goodboy Galaxy on my GBA SP. Oh well!
The weird part: You can buy counterfeits on aliexpress. However, you never know what version they are burning and the cards may fail spontaneously because they usually lack quality control. But if you don't have an Everdrive or an Analogue Pocket or some emulation device, then this might be the only way to play the game on a good handheld.
Is there a way to respawn at the ship? The select button held for 2 seconds isn't working.
A couple of softlocks:
- Totummy Temple: Red Bell path. You can shrink yourself along the way to the red bell, drop down into the mazey path that guides the blaster projectile, and you can get stuck between two slanted mirror pieces.
- Resonarion: For the puzzle where you direct a Toot directly underneath a music block, so it stays in place on a pressure pad. By backtracking a little bit, you can hit the music blocks above the room, guiding the Toot to unintended places. You can direct the Toot to stand above the openable floor, then open it yourself using the pressure pad, causing the Toot to remain trapped underneath.
Both of these softlocks occurred naturally while playing, so I thought I'd mention them :)
Thanks! Yes the warp-back-to-ship feature works, and is intended to be used if you ever manage to get trapped. However, I've heard that "hold select" is a hotkey on some systems (RetroArch on SteamDeck?) which could interfere with the game's control scheme. Maybe you could try mapping some other button to Select and see if that helps?
My friend's development team is interested in porting the game to Xbox Series. They sent an email to you at this address: hello@goodboygalaxy.com, and they are awaiting your response, regarding their proposal.
Holy shit...I never thought we'd see a modern fan-made GBA game like this. It's actually insane. It's like an official GBA game of the highest quality, easily deserving a 100% on Metacritic. I really hope people realize how special this is. Like...how?? A successful kickstarter campaign made this happen? I still can't believe it.
If the devs ever made a GBA rom similar to Binding of Isaac, I'd be in heaven. I'm a sucker for games with randomized item pools that create a unique experience in each playthrough. That, or a Stardew Valley clone, but I think I'll just have to keep dreaming 😂.
I'm VERY happy with this game, and there is limited info about it online, so owning a copy kinda makes me feel like I'm a member of some sort of unofficial club, lol. Cool!

Will the GBA ROM works on iPadOS RetroArch? Other GBA ROMs are recognized by the RetroArch but not the Goodboy Galaxy.
yes should do, runs in all retroarch versions I've seen (but I don't have an ipad).

Hey! Thanks for the reminder, an updated rumble patch is now available, you can grab it from the new community-run wiki :)

Thank you so much for the fast update. Confirmed working with mGBA on MM+ and MM
I love this game, it's simply worth every single pennie! I wanted to revive my love for the GBA SP and this did the job perfectly. Thank you so much!
graphics are from another dimension where dogs program stuff.

Just found this site for preordering the cartridge:
https://firstpressgames.com/products/goodboy-galaxy-gba-na-regular-edition
As the devs, can you tell me if the site is reputable?

I won't able to rate this wonderful one how do I do that?
Lovely game.

Trying to Parchuse but keeps giving errors. To bad can't try it out
It is so awesome to see this on actual hardware!
Has v1.3 been released yet? I want to buy the game but I am waiting until the release.
