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.

    My new favorite puzzle game.

    I bought this game to collect the unique cartridge color and charm. Little did I know I would get addicted to this game as soon as I started it up. It is now my go to as a time killer. It is easy to pick up and play. The music and graphics are nice too. I love the retro feel to the game even though it is new. I would recommend picking this game up.

    Tetris for the sea

    Even more fast paced than playing with blocks. It’s the Tetris of the sea.

    Pretty fun little puzzle game

    Fun little puzzle game for short bursts. Kind of sad achievements don't save because I only play for about 30-40 minutes at a time. Otherwise fun and fast paced. A must for puzzle enthusiasts.

    Legally Distinct Puzzle Game

    While I feel this one barrows a lot from an NES game I have, I will say though that the art is nice and very original, and it has added a few new tweaks to the puzzling, so it's not a one to one. Still a fun puzzle game, and nice little quick time filler.

    Love this game

    So simple at first but crank the difficulty up and you’ll be playing with serious speed. Trophies are fun too. Need more trophies in GB games!
