A downloadable game

Paku Paku GB is my humble version of original Paku Paku game  by Kenta Cho from Abagames (https://abagames.github.io/crisp-game-lib-11-games/?pakupaku).



The gameplay is simple: just eat the dots without hitting the ghost. If you take the big pill, for a few moments, you can eat the ghost. Once all the dots are eaten, the map will be redrawn for the next level.

You can use LEFT and RIGHT control pad directions or A button to switch current direction to play with just one button.

UPDATE 20242001

  • Bug fixed (thanks to Bsittler for report): when you eat the ghost, now it goes to the farthest edge from the player. 
  • The gb/gbc file is only one now for both machines and it's smaller (32kbs).

It's coded using GBDK 2020.

Don't expect a game that exploits the capabilities of the Game Boy to its limits, it's just a small program for quick games.

Enjoy it and share your score!

PS.: Analogue Pocket binary is not tested, so not sure if it's works.

I had the ghost get trapped on one edge. It should always run towards you!

Hi gingerbeardman! If you take the big pill the ghost runaway from you and not reach the screen edge. In your case is the ghost trapped on the edge without take the big pill?

That’s probably it!

nice! for the gbc one will you be changing to the color palette of the original web version? also, is it my imagination, or is this actually a lot harder than the web one? maybe collisions work differently, not sure...

also in this one the defeated ghost's eyes sometimes return to the side closer to the player, which makes it a lot less possible to progress

Hi! thanks for your comments. Yes, it a little bit harder than the original one, maybe for the game speed. Thanks for the bug report, I'll upload this weekend a version with it fixed. Regarding the color palette, I'll try include it. I must to study how to do it as I don't know well how color palettes work in GBC.

Thank you!

Hi, I've just updated a new version with the ghost bug fixed. The .gb file is smaller now and the same file works for gb/gbc machines. Sorry, the color palette for gbc remains the same by now. Thanks for the bug report.
