Spelunky 2 GBC ROM

This is an attempt to demake Spelunky 2 for GBC. This was a wildly ambitious project, and I only just managed to get a playable version ready, although I ended up having to convert it to an endless runner type game, and cut a ton of planned content.

Since it ended up getting rushed a little in the last few weeks of development, it can be a little rough around the edges in some areas, and I haven’t has the time to properly test it thoroughly. But what’s here is here, and that includes a fully featured character controller, a fast and robust entity system, and level generation and auto-tiling that works well.

You get 4 hearts, and from there you’re on your own. Make it as far as you can into the game, collecting as much gold as possible. You get 1 minute and 30 seconds to complete each level, or your game will end. The game does not save your scores, so if you want to keep track, you’re gonna have to do that manually.
