Finished it, very complete game!
There are some bugs that could be fixed but overall is a nice demo
Good Job!
I've played this with emulator but got bug in which I can't return after getting first grimoire. While wandering in the room, somehow the grimoire reappear allowing me to get another grimoire for second upgrade
Short, but fun and sweet! Really enjoyed this.
A short little Game Boy Game about a witch named Kip. Collect the magical grimoires to obtain new abilities and explore!

How to Play
Use the GameJolt built in Game Boy emulator, download a desktop emulator (BGB seems to work best), or download the ROM and play on a flash cartridge!
Move right and left with the D-Pad, use B to attack, and A to jump
The first grimoire unlocks a fireball attack! Hold B to charge your staff and release a bolt of fire!
The second grimoire unlocks the double jump! Mobility up!
The third grimoire unlocks a magical flask to throw at enemies! Press Up and B together to toss a flask into the air!
The fourth grimoire gives Kip her broomstick back! Fly in any direction and attack with A and B!
Bugs
This is a short demo, that in its current state, has a couple small bugs that will hopefully be fixed in a future release.
Sometimes the haystack does not spawn above the well in the Stinky Swamp i.e. going into the well without the first grimoire will prevent you from progressing in the next level!
In the Creepy Castle, the third grimoire can be obtained multiple times. If you have trouble with the mini-boss, feel free to exploit this, however, the game was not designed around having the flight mechanic for that enemy!
Tools
Major thanks to Zal0 for producing the ZGB engine for streamlining learning GBDK, and of course, big thanks to the community of people who have worked on and extended GBDK over the years!
