New Game: GoSub
I am busy making a new game for the Game Boy, yes, another one. This one is called GoSub, where you guide a submarine through a maze avoiding octopi and getting the treasure in each coral maze. If you are familiar with my games, this was something I put on many consoles, and now it's the Game Boy's time.
I've made one level so far. If you complete it, it goes back to the title screen. What do you think? I've attached a link to the demo.

I don't know why, it worked for me. Try this:

I don't know why, but firefox gives a possible security risk message due to my url being http and not https I guess. Just ignore it and download it because all the zip file contains is the ROM and a read-me file.

I've been working on this a lot. I'm making it a 64k game.

It seems like when a bank is almost 99% full, the game will put more in another bank automatically. Is this how it works, because that's what it seems like.
Code:
Bank Range Size Used Used% Free Free% ---------- ---------------- ----- ----- ----- ----- ----- ROM 0x0000 -> 0x3FFF 16384 16228 99% 156 0% |-###########################| ROM_1 0x4000 -> 0x7FFF 16384 8943 54% 7441 45% |###############-............|

Re: New Game: GoSub
it will not "put more in another bank automatically", more like "overflows into the next bank". which is ok for 32K game without any bank switching, but will definitely cause problems for the 64K game.

This forum seems dead. 
I think I finally figured out what I'm doing. I have a new version as of June 3, 2022.

A shame... Maybe try the GB Dev section of nesdev? -- https://forums.nesdev.org/viewforum.php?f=20
Or maybe it would make sense to create a GB Dev facebook group?

Nice title screen animation and music...
Runs on (internal build) of Argon ;-)

Re: New Game: GoSub
I added a Super Game Boy border to the game:
Here is the most current version (You start on level 27. Once you beat it, it goes back to the title screen.)
