Easily GbBBS95. It’s crazy how deep of a game @beatscribe.bsky.social was able to make writhing the competition time limit.

There are a few games I thought would surely be on there that aren’t. So here are those too: itch.io/c/6429759/gb...

I’m sure there are others but these are the ones I actually played.

Really looking forward to being able to play this

This is the game that actually got me into Picross. I couldn’t get into Mario Picross when I had tried it in the past. But the RPG elements of Fish Museum kept me playing and now I’m hooked on Picross games.

Yeah I can load the marketplace but in the rock band store you can see if you already have songs that are part of packs

Justin @thisjustin414.bsky.social · 12d

My store won’t even load 😕

Orebody Inc. @orebodyinc.bsky.social · 13d

Pour one out for Rock Band 4, which gets delisted on Oct. 5.

DLC is already being delisted too, so buy everything you’d want ASAP.

The RB franchise is probably my favorite, so this is a sad day.

Here’s hoping @redoctane.games can pick up the mantle.

Why doesn’t Bluesky show me which accounts in my Discover feed I actually follow any more? It’s pretty annoying.

Finally rolled credits on @metagamemike.bsky.social’s Kero Kero Cowboy after getting stalled on world 5 for forever. Honestly one of my favorite Game Boy games ever.

thisJUSTin414's review of Kero Kero Cowboy | Backloggd

Easily one of the best modern Game Boy platformers, and is up there with classic platformers like Super Mario Land 2 and Kirby 2. Beyond the gameplay, the art and music are top notch as well.

So is it only integer scaling in the 16 pro max?

1

Justin @thisjustin414.bsky.social · 29d

Combined with the integer scaling.

The color LCD filter in this update for more styles is great. It was the last thing keeping me from using it as my main skin.

Second edition? Will itch be updated or is that already the second edition?

Any chance of a GBA skin? I think L and R could be touch screen buttons like select and start

Justin @thisjustin414.bsky.social · Sep 4

Are you just doing a physical release? Or are you going to release the rom as well?

1

Justin @thisjustin414.bsky.social · Sep 3

What emulation core are you using?

Will it support color correction/other video filters?

For the Delta skin, do you plan on releasing skins for additional systems like NES, GBA, SNES?

1

Justin @thisjustin414.bsky.social · Sep 3

@playtiles.bsky.social @weslito.bsky.social I have a few questions about the emulation.

For the app, is it always going to be a web app or are there plans for native ones?

Will there be side loading allowed? If so will it be synced to an account or will it need to be side loaded every time?

This is already one of my favorite puzzle games on Game Boy. He figured out how to make a match game not clunky without a touch screen.

A demo of Hungry Huey, a juicy puzzle game for Game Boy Color, is out NOW! nielsderijk.itch.io/hungry-huey

Go play it (I'd love to hear what you think)!
