Pocket Frights

A Pokemon-inspired RPG set on one frightful Halloween night.

This game was made for GBJAM12. Thanks to the organizer for motivating me to making it :)

How to play

This is a real GameBoy ROM ! It can be played:

• on the emulator of your choice; I recommend either Sameboy or Gearboy
• on real hardware (provided you own a Flash Cart)
• in the browser through the very cool gameboy.js (firefox is recommended), but you might have some glitches. The controls are:
  • arrow keys to move
  • G for A
  • B for B
  • H for START
  • N for SELECT

How it's made

I programmed the game in C using the GBDK toolset. I plan to make the source code available, but it's a bit messy right now.

Additional credit goes to:

• tilemap-studio, which I used to edit tilemaps
• the font dogica which is used for all text in the game

What's missing

There are a lot of things I did not have time to implement:

• the rest of the games: there should be three more areas, with a boss and a new costume to unlock at the end of each
• saving (but the game is quite short at the moment anyway)
• sounds and music (I don't know yet how to)

In any case, I hope you enjoy the game!
