About the Developer

Bio

Name / Studio Name

Tom Sutton / Malamute

Location

Canada

How It Started

I started out making games in RPG Maker and GameMaker back when I was a teenager. It took a couple of decades, but I eventually learned to program in C and began making games for the Game Boy.

Other Games / Projects

Outside of indie game dev, I’ve worked as an animation lead on Paw Patrol and contributed to three feature films with Sony Pictures Imageworks.

Fun Fact

Every Game Boy game I make has one big constraint: it has to fit into 32 kilobytes or less. That challenge keeps things interesting!

The Idea

Why I Made This Game

I wanted to create something lean and focused – with a clear design hook – to teach myself Game Boy development.

What Makes This Game Special

I’ve always loved games that let you get comfortable, and then slowly ramp up until you're just barely keeping up. That rising suspense is so much fun – and I really feel like I captured that feeling here.

You'll Love This If...

You're a puzzle game fan, skill mastery seeker, or a player who enjoys mobile-style games with tight mechanics and replayability.

Inspiration / Influences

Tetris, Panel de Pon, Tetris Attack, Puzzle League – those kinds of mechanically satisfying, endlessly playable puzzlers.

Favorite Feature

Trying to unlock all the achievements as fast as possible is a constant challenge. It keeps things replayable and gives you that “just one more run” feeling.

    Fantastic puzzle game!

    Incredibly simple to learn and great for quick sessions or if you're like me you'll probably lose an hour at a time. As a big Tetris Attack/Puzzle League fan this was an instant hit for me.

    Worth the price!

    Great puzzle game and highly addictive. It has that..one more game..addictive quality. It's no tetris but it's worthy of taking up the slot in my chromatic. The $29.99 price point is perfect and all these new gameboy games need to be 29.99-34.99 if this is going to succeed long term. 40-60 is way too expensive . Y'all need to figure out how to lower mfg costs.

    Muy divertido

    La jugabilidad es muy buena y hace que se pase el tiempo volando (o surfeando) mientras juegas.

    Lo único que me chocó un poco es que no se guardan los logros y hay que intentar desbloquearlos todos en una sola sesión de juego (pueden ser varias partidas, pero sin apagar la consola).
