The King's Return is a Game Boy Color platformer!


This project is our very first retro game, for either GBC or GB. We’re three friends who have been working in the mobile game industry for many years, and we really wanted to create an old-school game! At first, the project was designed for monochrome Game Boy, but we quickly realized we’d need more power to really enjoy making it, so we switched over to Game Boy Color: it’s more complex, but definitely worth it. We chose a fairly limited palette to keep a consistent overall atmosphere, and we hope you’ll like it! Since the game is still in development, things will obviously change, but we’re highly motivated to deliver a complete game with solid playtime and a good level of challenge.

Your feedback is very welcome! Thank you.

Story: 

The King returns to his castle after a long journey, but during his absence, the great chamberlain has turned all of the king’s subjects into monsters by extracting their souls...Across the six sections of his castle, the king must recover his subjects souls to bring them back to life.
