I feel like #pixelart is much more about perseverance than about talent 😅 Usually people only post drawings they are happy with. So I wanted to share this as a reminder that art takes time and that you shouldn't get discouraged if you're not happy with the results in the first couple of minutes 😊

Not much time left to get this bundle of #gameboy homebrew games. So far I've played through: - Kero Kero Cowboy - Cosmo Knight Zion - 2021: Moon Escape - Pitchfork Each of them was fantastic. Cave Dave is also great but I haven't beaten it yet. Highly recommend this bundle. Enjoying it myself 😊

My Friendly Little Island made it onto the cover of GB Studio Magazine 🤩 @metagamemike.bsky.social Thanks so much for including my little game in the stunning artwork 🧡 Making a spaceship design out of palm trees for the player character is such a brilliant idea! (+ hat ship for Kero Kero) 🤯

This is an absolute gem of a game! It has tons of shorter levels that are really fun. The controls are fantastic, there's a ton of variety to the worlds, unique gameplay moments, plenty of secrets, and great humor too! A really wonderful platformer that easily stands alongside the best on the GBC.

Been sitting on this little story trailer for ages. But the game kept selling out again and again. And it wouldn’t have made much sense to promote a game that is not readily available 😅 Buck and the Cursed Cartridge is now back in stock at #ModRetro and #GameStop. #chromatic #gameboy #gbc #gbdev

to young people: you may at some point have heard about the Y2K problem. some people may have told you it wasn't a big deal i need you to understand the only reason it wasn't a big deal was that everyone spent loads of time fixing code before it could become a problem, which is why it never did

It's so dumb it's kind of funny... My Switch 2 won't let me download a free to play game, because I have already played it on my Switch 1. Instead, it wants me to transfer my virtual game card for that game. So, now I have to charge my Switch 1 to tranfer my license for a free game 😑
