played this for the first time a couple of days ago and OH MY GOD. one of the best games I've played and can't wait to play the full version when it comes out <3
This was so cute!! Realising it was a kiwi game was a nice surprise too, it's always fun to find fellow kiwi devs <3 I can't wait for the full release :3 rawr!
glad u enjoyed the demo (sorry it got u in ur feels hah ❤️). digital version will be cheapish, physical cart release (deluxe edition) might be bit moar $$$ depending on the manufacturing co$ts
its super rare bt yeah it's a wild glitch (probably a speed running strat). i'll do my best to recreate + fix it asap. apologies for inconvenience. if u change the order u tidy your room (for now) I think that's a workaround! will keep u posted <3
When the full version comes out u can still play it in-browser on andriod!!! or u can download the .rom & play using a GameBoy emulator frm the AppStore ❤️🐸❤️
thank u sm! high praise that it made u kick ur feet lol!
in terms of android version 4 download, technically u could grab the rom and play it on a GB emulator on p. much any smart phone!!! but yea standalone vers could maybe b possible, will think on it 💪🐸
I played this on the good ol’ analogue pocket and OML is this game beautiful! I’ve always been a huge fan of the GBC art style, but you all took it above and beyond. I’m just saying, this is one of (if not) the best indie gameboy game I have played in a while. The characters feel genuine, complete (of course) with genuine problems. I enjoyed every minute, and I’m practically kicking my lil’ legs waiting for the physical release. I just hope there ends up being a way to transfer your save from the demo, or the ability to start right where the demo left you off. Thank you for this wonderful game!
hey, thnks for this incredible write up. so pleased u enjoyed the experience ((the analogue pocket is amazing, such a joy to play on, hecck)). very keen on doing a physical release w/ extras + goodies. will 100% include a chapter select w/ that, too so ppl can skip to the new content!! it's still a wee ways off, but rlly want to make it special. thx again ❤️❤️
aww this demo was so much fun, I got a bit lost but I found my way back in no time, I loved the game boy style and the pixel art was amazing as well as the characters, I found myself scared that the demo would end so I will be looking forward to the full game. amazing job!!!
I’ve been playing Small Town Emo and I really like it! The story is super cute, the characters feel so real and honest, and the dialogue is amazing too!
I really like the pixel font for the dialogue. What’s the name of the pixel font and who created it?
aslo, when it's out, is it gonna be some way to support you better than buying on steam? i heard they don't pay quite well indie games :( so if it's gonna be a paid game i would love to support better than buying on steam
complete version will be on steam bt *ALSO* here on itch too. + we'll b looking in2 merch and a physical/deluxe version as well, so therell a few diff options to support the game!! ❤️❤️
hiya jayyay01! sorry u got stuck here, basically if u walk str8 down 2 the bottom of the screen ur able to leave this area (the lads dont climb back up).
appreciate u mentioning this tho, will 100% make the exit for this section more clear!! cheers ❤️
Should've noticed it earlier tho lol. Anyways, i just finished the demo and I LOVE IT. PLEASE I need to know if and when is the full version going to be released <3
i am soooo excited to see the full game yo!!!!!!! abso-freakin-lutely pumped!!!! i am so n luv w the art and the charas and evrythng!!!!!!!!! wud b so majrly sad f i don't get better @ bullet hell tho :<
very keen 2 look into translation, if u drop us an email here: https://fnifegames.com/contact can defs reach out to you when we start thinking abt it (prolly gonna be post-launch i expect)
omg love that!!! iconic! was obsessed w/ american football ((& mcr as a teen)). lowkey drafting what the characters mix cds have on them. maybe ill post some tracklists 🐸🎸
oh my glob i LOVE this game!! very excited to play it once its finished, I'm extremely invested in these two LOL
tbh i was going in not expecting much, but I was BLOWN away and it was so so much better than I could've imagined! I love the story, and all the characters, plus the pacing, cute minigames and puzzles are all rlly gr8! I'm excited to see where this goes!
yoooo, thnks for for leaving such a lovely comment ((im blushing)) ❤️❤️
so vm appreciate u giving us a chance & bein pleasantly surprised, heheh 🐸🙏. i reckon the gameboy medium is deceptively *~great~* 4 storytelling experiences ((which also surprised me when exploring it tbh)) glad u enjoyed!!!
full game will b either pay-what-u-want or a few bucks. wanna make sure it stays accessible. may also do a limited 'physical cart' run too, though that'll defs cost moar $$
what a delightful game: there's so much that i loved, and you can see all of the care and thought weaved into the world. this is so charming: thank you for sharing and i look forward to the full release!
ahhh. rlly appreciate ur comment! very inspired by games made w/ that kind of care + charm + thoughtfulness. its humbling 2 hear that comes thru in this proj. thank u so much ❤️❤️

i think i found a glitch. right after i tidy my room my character just like falls from the top of the screen to the bottom over and over
omg thank u sm for bug reporting this!!! 🐛🐛
its super rare bt yeah it's a wild glitch (probably a speed running strat). i'll do my best to recreate + fix it asap. apologies for inconvenience. if u change the order u tidy your room (for now) I think that's a workaround! will keep u posted <3
no problem! the game is amazing i just finished the demo and cannot wait to play the whole thing!!
Noo my daym Android unable to get full thing 😭😖
When the full version comes out u can still play it in-browser on andriod!!! or u can download the .rom & play using a GameBoy emulator frm the AppStore ❤️🐸❤️
liking the game and want to suggest a play date port. Would be perfect for that platform.
thanks! i really reaaaaally like the Playdate, that's a super cool suggestion. if not a port then a sequel/prequel/vignette might b a cool option 👀👀
this made me giggle and kick my feet ily for making this game thank u
also little question, will there ever be an android version for download? ty :3
thank u sm! high praise that it made u kick ur feet lol!
in terms of android version 4 download, technically u could grab the rom and play it on a GB emulator on p. much any smart phone!!! but yea standalone vers could maybe b possible, will think on it 💪🐸
