Just played the demo for this game and it's amazing! I love colorful, cozy simple games like this. And it made me feel very inspired for what I want to do myself now.

If you like games like Kirby, I highly recommend this one
The wait is finally over. You can now buy a digital copy of Sofia the Witch from Bitmap Soft. If you love classic platforming games like Mario Land 2 or Kirby on the Game Boy this game is for you. #gameboy #nintendo www.bitmapsoft.co.uk/product/sofi...

I hope the Planetary Parade tonight doesn't trigger a Monster Moon. Maybe that only happens in my Gameboy game Sofia the Witch Curse of the Monster Moon. I've been informed that the standard edition has shipped so anyone who order that version should be getting it very soon. #astrology #gameboy

What's happening here is I'm testing out scoring and saved hi-scores. for my Gameboy Cute'em Up, I Want Candy. I'm also tracking collectables to access a mini game, seeing if players collect 5 peppermint candies. Temp backgrounds from Sofia the Witch. #gameboy #gbstudio #candy #indiegame

A new work in progress video for my Gameboy Cute'em Up. I Want Candy. I now have a working HUD. It took some work getting a vertical score to work in GBStudio. But I think its working pretty nicely. #gameboy #nintendo #gbstudio #cute #gamedev #pixelart #candy

Hello #PortfolioDay!

I'm Amour. I'm a pixel artist and game developer who enjoys creating fake game mockups and cozy isometric scenes in his free time. Nice to meet you! ✨

I Want Candy update, my Gameboy cute 'em up.
Enemies drop different candy based on waves. The enemies have different states that I can control so I can recycle enemies without them feeling too much like a copy paste. The next step is to build some real levels. #gameboy #indiegame #schmup #gbstudio

Ice makes it tricky to control yourself, but it also increases your top run speed a little! 🧊

Also, the Kickstarter WOULD have ended today, but we got a 1 week extension! There's still a few days left to support Kero Kero Cowboy & get sweet rewards: kck.st/4fHvWUA

I'm really happy with how this map scene came out. Again lots of placeholders here. If you can complete a special event in each level (not sure what these are yet) you can then access a harder level. I want it so you can pick your own route like in Star Fox 64.
