Phoenix Wright Case 1 for Game Boy!

The Phoenix Wright series is one that spans over a dozen games. From the GBA to the DS, all the way to modern HD versions for PC and modern consoles.

And to think it all began potential life as a Game Boy Color game.

So what if it was designed earlier than that... for the original Game Boy instead?

This demake is the entire first case of the original game "The First Turnabout". It was created as a technical demonstration of the capabilities of GB Studio and how next to zero knowledge of coding can take you.

Best played on an actual Game Boy (a pocket would be best!)

Second best way to play is in an emulator like BGB, Sameboy or Mesen.
Just download the rom and drop into the emulator.

(Also best played with frame blending turned on!)

ndie developers don’t shy away from creating games that bigger companies wouldn’t take a chance on. Why try and create something beautiful when we can just churn out another battle pass borefest? Thankfully, we have studios such as Drakkar Dev, who have just released Mirage 7 for PC, PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, Xbox One, and Xbox Series X|S.

Neon Polygons' Piece by Piece is a puzzle game that requires you to arrange and rearrange puzzle pieces so that your character can progress to the goal. With 100 handcrafted levels to tease your brain with, it's an ingenious spin on a well-trodden concept. Gamkat's Piece by Piece, meanwhile, is an adorably relaxing indie that sees its vulpine protagonist inherit their family's repair shop, with the simple-yet-noble goal of fixing up the forest folks' prized possessions.

Trying out something new. Doing discussion topics about indie games once in a while. Let's see if there is interest.

Like the title says, have you played recently an indie game that you enjoyed and want to share? It does not have to be a newly released game.

I recently played and enjoyed Carrion, a Metroidvania-style horror game where you play a monster trying to escape an underground lab. For me, it felt like it had a good creepy atmosphere, created by fitting pixel art and the fact there is no dialogue. The game is short and not too difficult, with fun mechanics.

The SuperTux Team is pleased to announce the stable release of version 0.7.0! You may wonder what took us so long to develop another release. Over the past couple of years, we’ve made dozens of changes and improvements to the game, bringing it to a much more polished state. As such, this is likely one of the biggest releases since Milestone 2! Despite that, SuperTux remains the trusted run’n’jump game as you know well… but with this update, it should bring it into a much more finishable state moving forward.

Here are some of the most notable changes since the previous release:

  • Brand new sprites and abilities for Tux: slope sliding, strong buttjumping, rock rolling, and crawling
  • Revamped graphics for most backgrounds, tiles, objects, and badguys
  • Complete level design + story rework of the Story Mode, Revenge in Redmond, and Bonus Island I
  • Not only new NPCs (e.g: Granito) and enemies (e.g: DiveMine, Fish, and Corrupted Granito), but also revamps for numerous enemies such as: GoldBomb, Igel, Ghoul, and both bosses (Yeti and Ghost Tree)
  • New music
  • Level editor revamp
  • Local multiplayer mode
  • New gameplay mechanics such as glinted enemies, keys, the item pocket, and unlockable bonus islands via Tux Dolls
  • Many internal improves and code refactoring, such as moving to SimpleSquirrel
  • Improvements to compilation/porting, including CMake refactor, Android revival, and Flatpak builds

And many more changes and bugfixes not listed here! Really, check the game out to see all the changes!

Thank you so much for the patience everyone had regarding this update. Feel free to report any bugs to our GitHub. We appreciate everyone’s support in keeping this game alive! Happy SuperTuxing! – The SuperTux Team
