Kickstarter gets a New Game Boy Game - Rose-Tinted: Kudzu (Gameboy)
I didn't grow up owning Nintendo's Original Gameboy, but I've always had a fondness for the device and the amazing creativity that came out of such restrictive tech. Covering an Original Game Boy Game has always been on my list, but it's library has largely been done to death. So, I found a new one that felt right at home on it's Green colored screen. Today, I'm giving my thoughts on Chris Totten's Kudzu, and my experience backing a Kickstarter campaign for the very first time!
To be absolutely clear, I WAS NOT paid to make this video. I backed this and chose to review it entirely on my own.

Thanks for the review! While some of the tech issues are sadly a part of the GB Studio engine, I've fixed a ton of issues from the original Kickstarter release for the Switch version (which will also be reflected in upcoming physical copies).

That's great to hear! I was really hoping the game would receive some kind of update. Do you know if people that backed for the ROM version on the Kickstarter campaign will have access to it? I'd love to see what's changed in the update.

@@PSPMan that’ll be a question for Mega Cat (the publisher), but I’m pretty sure they are keeping the build updated in the ROMs folder (just sent an email about it.) Again, some of those things really are just a product of the fiddly elements of the version of the engine I was using, but I was able to fix some big things.
It really is amazing how well this looks like a classic GB game. Glad people are still flexing their creative skills even on older engines! Nice editing and great video all around.
Pretty impressive what developers can do when they use hardware as a self-imposed challenge. Donkey Kong '94 comes to mind...as does this, even if it's got some cracks. Great coverage of this project!
New gameboy game to play hell yeah!
