Cosmic Muncher

Description

This video game, crafted by a team of three, was programmed in assembly language (using gbtelera) and designed for the original Game Boy. The project took seven weeks to develop, including a learning phase during which an ECS (Entity Component System) engine was implemented specifically for this game's development. 

In this game, you play as an alien on a quest for donuts! Make sure to avoid the guards standing between you and your sugary prize. But why would an alien crave our donuts?

This alien is addicted to sugar!  

It's the first time in human history that we've been contacted from outer space, and it seems they just want to steal our donuts. Step into the role of a curious alien who only wants to take a few donuts with them. Is it pure greed, or do they need them for something specific?

How to play!  

Basic four-direction movement

Meet the crew

 Marciano Delgado -  He’s the protagonist of this story; his craving for donuts will drive him to venture into dangerous places just to have one more.

 Guard Cuesta - A guard in the city of Glazeburg, he hates the afternoon shift and is quite sleepy, so don't be surprised if you can easily escape him during his routine patrols.

 Donut - This donut is a perfect circle of delight, its golden crust embracing a soft, pillowy heart. Each bite is a balance of sweetness and warmth, a delicate dance between the light, airy interior and the gentle crunch of its sugared surface. It holds an aroma that beckons irresistibly, a whisper of vanilla and dreams, promising comfort and a momentary escape into pure bliss. Adorned with a glistening glaze or dusted in sugar, a donut is a small, edible treasure—joy itself, wrapped in the simplest form. Can't blame the aliens for wanting to invade us just to try a little piece.

  Hearts - Make sure you get them, you may need help, and this will bring you an extra life!

Walls - You can't go through them, right?
