Awesome game!! Really fun, love the art and music!
Just two thing, I don't know if it was intentional, but the
Stupid Sport Bro and Crappy Copter Bro wouldn't hit me when I was in the edge of the screen. And I found the double jump a bit stiff... also don't know if it was intentional.

Anyway, great work!

Stupid Sport Bro actually can hit you on the edge of the screen with both jumps and the ball. With the ball it depends on how high he jumps. With the copter bro, it was intentional, to make him less difficult to beat, because when he could hit you on the edge he was way too difficult compared to the other two.

The souble jump doesn't feel as good as it could, that's just something I didn't have the time to go back to to make it feel better.

Cool game. Using ctrl to shoot was a bit awkward. Good game overall.

Like some of your previous entries, awesome job with the GB 4-palette graphics and mood. Controls were tough. I wish the jump button was a different key. My brain short-circuits with up = jump.

Great game! One day I will create a boss game too, wanted to do it for a while. :D

Controls feel quite strange though, all that inertial jumping...

For some reason this was lovely. Really enjoyed the gfx, music and mood!

Everything was perfect for me expect the jump. I prefer to have air control (I mean being to still move left/right while in air). But this is personal.

Great entry!

Cute graphics. I like the crazy frog bro. It's a bit difficult to me but fun to challenge.

Really nice game. I liked the sports dude the best cuz he was actually a good challenge cuz you had to watch out for the attack where he throws the ball into the corner and you gotta either already be in the middle or jump over it. Plus I liked how you couldn't change your direction in the air, made it a lot harder.

GREAT GAME! At first I thought it was a bit hard, but then I learned you could always react in time if you know how the Bro's attack begins. The Chopper Bro made me rage anyway :D

Beat him in the end though. Cool visuals, cool use of theme, cool gameplay. As I said, great game!

love the music and the sounds. I find evading enemy attacks very hard though, maybe because of the disabled air movement. enjoyed playing it though! !

Wow this is awesome! Great retro style graphics and sound. The three different enemies are also great!
This really reminded me of how i started playing games on my old gameboy classis. Dig it!

Pretty hard, I couldn't beat any of them on the first try. Air control would help. Still, neat concept, cool use of theme.

Good looking game. Just like an old game boy title. I found it very hard but that is plus. Nice job!

I found this pretty tough, but I liked the idea a lot and the mood/visuals were cool
