A very good game, with excellent levels, superb music and a funny backstory.
You control Henry, the eponymous goat with clear priorities in life (eating anything he can). Usually homebrew GB games are nothing more than a nostalgia trip, but not this one: gameplay is actually fun, there is even a boss level!
Things I would correct:
- game.gb is not descriptive, should be changed to henry.gb (or voracious.gb)
- "hold B to run" is *not* present in the menu, should be added
- there are some slowdowns with many enemies on screen, I suspect that is unavoidable.
- edit: this is tagged GPL but I don't see any repo!
Thank you, and I'm so glad you enjoyed it! Your suggestions are very good, too, so I went ahead and implemented the ones I could. I may just remove the GPL tag for now until I have Github set up, or an alternative. I think I was confusing that for the CC tag on the assets.
The enemy slowdown is something I will need to learn more to fix. Some of it is unavoidable, yes (and it's way better than it was when I started!), but I'm sure as I learn more about the tool I'll be able to optimize in more ways.

Again, superb production!

If you feel like it, you can also just upload a `source.zip` and that is that, it is your choice.
Thanks for CC'ing assets!
No problem! And yeah, I didn't think of a simple zip file, lol.
