Hello,

I have made (much of) a GBA game in my spare time.
Unfortunately the binaries aren't ready for release yet.

However, there are some screenshots at:

and some videos at:
http://www.paulsmitton.com/gbavideos.html
(sorry, these are a bit slow because the filesizes are big).

I did all the coding and graphics myself (with help from gbadev.org, #gbadev and info from tonc).

Paul.

Great stuff there.

Wow! Looking forward to trying this out - looks really cool man - great idea! Where did you get your inspiration?

Thankyou both for your kind compliments.

Sumiguchi - didn't really have inspiration as such. I just read up on gba graphics, and then made something that would utilise what I had learned.
The other ideas came along the way.

In another sense, my 'inspiration' was initially to try and get something published so I could leave my dull minimum wage job for something more interesting, however I'm not sure this is likely :(

This looks really cool. Kudos for taking the "limitations" of the GBA and figuring out some essentially unique gameplay. I'm looking forward to playing it as well.

Looks really cool!

I hope I can make something like this in a month or two :)
