This is such an underated gem, wasted on GameJolt. TWO YEARS and not a single comment, 3 likes, just sad that not even fans are as passionate about wanting another F-Zero game the way that Metroid fans have been.
Ladies and Gentlemen, start your engines!
The call has echoed throughout the universe once again: the F-Zero Grand Prix is back!
Select one of the 30 most skillful drivers of all-time and boost your way to the top in "F-Zero Pocket", a racing fan-game made as a tribute to both the GameBoy Color and the F-Zero series.
20 tracks divided in 4 cups and 4 levels of difficulty: are you up to the task?
Each car has its own characteristic, and it is up to you to find which one suits you best! Will it be the Blue Falcon of the reining champion Captain Falcon? The fast Iron Tiger of Baba? The flying Little Wyvern of James McCloud? Or maybe the impressive Black Bull of Falcon's nemesis, Black Shadow?
You get to choose and to race across Mute City, Big Blue, Red Canyon and 7 other locations!
And if it isn't enough...
You can also create your own track with only a notepad! It is relatively easy to understand and quick to set up, and you can virtually add as many tracks as you want to the game! A tutorial is included in the game's booklet.
So, are you ready to show Captain Falcon your moves? Are you ready to become the fastest driver alive and get to the top of the F-Zero Grand Prix?
(Included are the game, the track files and an instructions booklet)
About the project
This project actually started around 2 years ago, as "F-Zero GBX", a monochrome GameBoy-style demake of F-Zero GX. But personal reasons came into way and the project was shelved, as it was also too tough to easily add content to it.
I decided to revive the project of a pseudo-3D racer a year after, which evolved into this. Initially planned for last Christmas as a present, work didn't leave me enough time to finish it properly so it was delayed until now, which is now a present for my older brother. Truth to be told, it would have never been finished on December 2019! Tons of stuff has been added since then, including a complete overhaul of the road-display engine.
And finally, I decided to go fora GBC look instead of staying in 4 colours. It is more vivid this way and I really like how it looks. Didn't have time or money to comission someone to do 30 music tracks in GB style so I went with the GBA OST.
I hope you will enjoy this as much as I enjoyed making it! (and hope you'll start creating a few tracks for fun!)
Hey! Found out the instruction booklet wasn't included inside the archive of the game, so I reuploaded it with the booklet this time!
In the mean time, I'm working on fixing some glitches here and there.
