Super Squidlit (Game Boy Color-style adventure) to be released on July 30th
Squidlit Ink, the developers of Squidlit, have announced that the long-awaited Super Squidlit will be released on July 30th in Europe and North America.
While the first game tried to recreate an OG GameBoy experience as faitfhfully as possible, this “sequel” does the same but with the GameBoy Color. Here’s the various restrictions the developers kept in mind when developing the game:
- No more than 10 sprites in a horizontal line
- No more that 40 sprites at any time
- 3 colors per sprite
- 160 x 144 pixel resolution
- 4 sound channels for music and SFX
- All sounds were recorded on a real Game Boy Color!
Here’s a trailer, some details, and the list of key features for the game:
Super Squidlit recreates the Game Boy Color’s capabilities and limitations for a squishy adventure! The colorful world of Squishu and it’s invertebrate inhabitants need your help! Play as Plip and your old foe, Skwit Skwot, as you set sail to banish a great evil.
