Hurrah for games with made up temples on it! My first gbjam entry was like that too :D

Great game! I love the high level polish and detail it features, especially on the intro and gameover screens. It even has a tutorial! Awesome work! (And +10 for that waterfall animation, really nicely done).

Also it was really cool to see you work on the graphics via the livestream!

I LOVE IT

for me the jump button isn't working, but I like the idea behind the game.

Super fun little game! It's really impressive for the timeline. I like the little touches like the sheep getting sheared when you get hurt.

Really nice game. I am surprised with what you guys have accomplished using ZGB (you even have animated tiles!)

The double jump is a little bit weird when the sheep is flipped vertically but after a few games you get used to it. Still trying to beat the 3rd level

Any plans to upload the code to github? I could help you upgrading to the latest revision of the engine :)

This game was built in one week for the BitBitJam 2017.
Unleash the power of your Classic Game Boy (or emulator) and play this game with an incredible 2 bit color depth!

Enjoy the latest adventures of Sticky Hooves and dive into ancient Mayan templs to find their treasure!

Story

This is the story about the irish sheep Sticky Hooves.
He and his girlfriend Marry came to America to live their dreams!
They've spent all their money to start a new and better live, but unfortunately Marry got sick and because of the bad health care system, they can't afford the treatment.
Of course there was only one way to pay their debt...

Since Sticky once was an archaeologist, he travelled to ancient Mayan temples in order to find their treasures and to pay his debt!

Game Jam Theme and Restrictions

The theme of BitBitJam4 is velcro sheep and the actual gameplay must use only a one key.

Gameplay

You play as the sheep Sticky Hooves and dive into ancient Mayan ruins. Since the actual game is only allowed to use one button, Sticky runs automatically and the only option you have, is to jump (A-Button).
The old temple of Vel-Cro was built by an ancient society, which has mastered the technology of velcro thousand of years ago. Therefore certain parts of the temple's ceiling are made out of velcro, which allows a fluffy sheep to walk along those ceilings.

Controls

You can scroll through all menus by using the up and down keys. You select a menu entry by using the A or Start keys.
In the actual game, you only have the A button, which will let you (double) jump. You can also pause the game by pressing Start, from there on you could also quit the game.
