Above the Sky 
 a shoot-em-up prototype Game Boy Color game made in GBDK2020 for GBJAM11.

UPDATE 1 - October 4th 2023:

• ALL BUGS FIXED!
  • no more crashes \o/
    
• Saving High Score now works!
  • how many points can you score? I would love to know
• No gameplay changes!
  • stay tuned for updates after the Jam, feel free to get in touch

Features:

• Shmup with random enemy wave spawns
• Your ship will overheat if you dont make a splash in the water
• Full speed on GBC
• Smooth parallax scrolling effects
• It uses 4 colors only, like DMG Game Boy
  • (it runs on DMG but is not working properly, use a GBC!)
  • Edit: Found game breaking bugs on GBP/DMG, sorry
• I am tired, the game is buggy and prone to crash, I will fix after the jam.

Controls (for Game Boy):

• (A) to shoot in the angle of the ship
• (START) to pause (there is a glitch that makes the game start paused some times)
• (SELECT) to change palettes
• XBOX Controller:
  • B -> (A)
  • Menu -> (START)
  • View -> (SELECT)
  • Other controllers probably have a similar positional mapping
• KEYBOARD:
  • Z -> (A)
  • ENTER -> (START)
  • SHIFT -> (SELECT)

Instructions:

• Shoot alien invaders to earn score
• the ship heats over time
• if you are overheat, you will lose health slowly
• splash in the wave to cool down!
• enjoy!
