Description
Specing the game up to colour to help keep the kids engaged and make sure the monsters are more distinguishable.Going to have trouble moving the trees over, I know it, haha.
8x8 tiles, 4 colours per tile, maximum 8 background palletes on screen, 3 colours (+transp) per sprite - this is 4 maps that will be scrolled "single screen"/"zelda" style, with a 2 tile HUD above that. I'm going to have to manage my palettes better to get those houses to pop a bit more.
Changing to a smaller space per-area has been good, it forces me to focus on what matters in each area and make sure each monster encounter is memorable.

Really amazing use of the specs
The grass is really nicely done and really good contrast and highlights
I counted the use of 10 BG palettes though.
Is this going to be an actual native project or just a imitation of the GBC specs?

Just an imitation, educational music note learning game for the web. GBC spec for fun.
We'll see how lazy I get with it, though I'll have to go review the palettes again for sure.

Very tight, great detail and great job staying so clean as such a small size. Love it.

Great to hear, we'll see how much messier it gets with time, haha

Gameboy res is pretty small, as I said this is 4 screens. It'll be blown up with bigger pixels in practice, but this is source res.
