My entry to the GBJAM12 2024 game jam - theme was "Spooky".

Crypt Climb is  a vertical platformer - escape from the crypt by climbing up and escaping the ever climbing water level... that somehow can drown skeletons(?!)

Can you collect all the skulls and escape alive (you're a skeleton though??) and get 100% score?!

Code, graphics and music/SFX were all by myself (music was basically non-existent, as I can't code music, and was unable to get any team mates, sadly!). 

Graphics inspired by a lot of cool tile sets here on itch for ideas, and code inspired by GB Studio Central's "Full Screen Boss" tutorial.

 Full GB Hardware Compatible - will work on DMG, GBP, GB Color, GBA and even has a cool border if you play it on a Super Gameboy!

Web keys: Arrows or WASD, z = a, x = b, Enter = Start

Move with the arrow keys, and jump with A (Z in web version)

.gb is compatible with GB DMG, GBP, GBC, GBA etc with flash carts. High-score is saved.

.pocket is for Analog Pocket - although untested!

.cia is for use on 3DS, install using FBI.
