RETROID - A New Game Boy Game

Hi!

Maybe RETROID, a Game Boy project I've just released, is of interest to you. I hope it is ok to post a Game Boy project it in this section. If it isn't, please accept my apologies and move it to the correct section.

My goal was to create a Game Boy game that meets the technical standards of (early) commercial Game Boy titles, using only a few very basic development tools. The result is a Breakout clone that can be downloaded here:

RETROID is similar to Alleyway but adds some features from Arkanoid and other games to it (such as bonus items, better graphics, in-game music, boss battle etc.). The game was optimized for the "real" Game Boy hardware but can of course also be played via emulator. If you'd like to emulate, I suggest using BGB. Some other emulators tend to e.g. not play the sound correctly.

Here are some screenshots:

Have fun and enjoy the show!

I like the music - the covers are all very pleasing. Any possibility we might get a GBS file for the soundtrack?

The physics of collisions are a bit off, though.

Thanks for playing my game. :wink: But sorry, I have no tool that would turn the sound into a GBS file.

This is good. I agree with lidnariq the physics could be improve a bit though.

I love the old retro game and the soundtrack is excellent. But yeah the physics aren't perfect. Do you guys know any other games that have this kind of look?
