How does your game meet GBJam's theme?
Quite similar to a very popular franchise that started on the Game Boy. As you progress, it gets glitchier (and spookier).

I don't have much to say, this is just really good at what it set out to do. Also, the soundtrack really helps add to this, I feel.
Glad to hear we accomplished what we hoped to, thank you so much!
thank you 🙏
Great demon collecting game. The absolute highlight was the ending! The glitching was so cool, and the music ties the last fight really well! Well done!
thank you thank you 🙏
Glad to hear that the glitching part was your favorite, everything else in the game was really just an excuse to justify scary glitches really LOL. You may have noticed already, but the glitch music is actually a spliced up version of all the other tracks in the game :)
Thank you so much!
When I woke up today, I wasn't expecting to be pleasing demons by punching them, but here we are!
That was cool! The art is proficient, and the character design is exceedingly charming. The menu puzzles are competent, and the writing is fun. It's a softer, more lighthearted take on "what if Pokémon but with edgier premises."
I like how the ending ties the three demons motif together. There's also something pleasantly on-the-nose about the game's objective essentially being to "leave the garden", as it were.
The soundtrack is cool; it's a little rough, but it makes good use of motifs. I especially like the glitched out final boss track!
All-in-all, great work!
thank you!!
Cool spin on the pokemon style, the demon graphics are really well done. The music is nice just gets repetitive after a while. Would like to see this game in it's full form :)
Thank you so much! I'd love to expand this game more too, and if we did the music would definitely get an upgrade!
the full form will come someday I'm sure :)
The most satisfying thing in this game, its how you can skip the texts. I really appreciate that. You got the Pokemon feeling right on point! Really enjoyable! If you think of updating this game in the future, try making different music, its not bad at all but can be better! Very good game!
Sids music is awesome though :( but thank you still
Sorry! Didn't want to be mean!!!!! I just thought that the music could be better, as I said it isn't bad. I know that for a Jam you can't do an orchesta!!. I'm really sorry, I really didn't want to be mean at the composer...
It's okay, I totally understand ❤️ I don't mind the critique, that's definitely an area I would like to improve for next time!
nonono you weren't being mean!!! sorry 💔
Thank you so much, that means a lot! I completely understand on the music part, this was my first time composing music for a game and I taking a shot in the dark on it LOL. Thank you for your feedback!
Very cool ending, it made everything very spooky! The nostalgia is strong in this one!
Thank you !!
Thank you so much!
Love the pokemon inspired gameplay and the amount of text and detail was very nice. The designs for the demons are very cool and old gb pokemon-esque.
Thank you ! Sid made a majority of the sprites including the demon designs so all praise be to him 🙏
Thank you so much! I'm glad we were able to capture that energy well.
An interesting twist on the old pokemon formula. The flavour texts were nice!
Thank you very much !
We had a blast writing the flavor text, I'm glad you liked it. Thank you!
What a fun twist on the classic concept! Brings me right back to my childhood days of binding demons in my living room and putting them in my wristwatch – I mean, rolodex – uh, orbs. As a kid it's always great to have a Professor nearby to guide and protect you :)
I'm glad you found the Professor helpful and kind :) Thank you so much!
Thank you thank you 🙏 I also have fond memories of catching demons with my uhhh book of demons. Or my spherical demon devices™️
