It will be playable in browser, on Game Boy, and on the Analogue Pocket.
History
I created this game as a way to play around with the GB Studio engine, and it quickly evolved into a love letter for old Game Boy games, especially The Legend of Zelda: Link's Awakening. The story came from a bad-but-hilarious project presentation from architecture school where my group built in what we thought was a field of cool ivy, but was actually an out of control invasive plant. My wife, growing up in the South, likewise remembers her brother fighting back similar plants with a machete. After mashing these things together, the world of Kudzu was born!
Features
- Explore ruined fields, gardens, forests, villas, and mountains.
- Master a variety of gardening tools to clear your path including the machete, hoe, and rake!
- Meet weird and helpful characters!
- Fight the twisted creatures lurking in the kudzu, such as snakes, bugs, rats, snails, and ghosts!
- Solve treacherous puzzles!
- Play the demo in browser. The full game will be compatible with the original Game Boy (will be distributed as a ROM file compatible with Game Boy emulators and flashable to a Game Boy cartridge.)
