It's a cute game!

How do you save?

Can i save my game somehow? I see a battery in the cartridge, but no way to save the game.

it’s neat but there’s two problems: it seems like the ROM for emulators is Gameboy Color format not regular Gameboy format.   That means the normal Gameboy model emulation color palettes (Pocket, DMG, Light indigo) aren’t usable.  That’s a bummer since the game presents itself as a Gameboy green-like kind of game?

Also the FLASH TO WHITE SCREEN on every map transition is a bother to the eyeballs, and I think is generally bad practice for that reason.

Is it possible as a buyer of the switch collectors edition (with the Japan gb version) to get this/the english one maybe for free?

not that it matters but i also bought the steam version and been following the developers for more than 10 years

I'm new to Melon Journey, could anyone tell me are either of these new games a remake of the one from 2012 or are these both follow-ups to that?

cute game

If you want people to play this on their Analogue Pocket (without installing a GB core), please consider providing the game in a .pocket file format.

Done!

Cool. I was wondering if the ROM would be available for purchase. I didn't get the Limited Run physical.

Any chance you could include the .pocket build of the game? That way us Analogue Pocket owners can enjoy all the system filters. Thanks!

Added~!
