Less text, more video: Here we go -> Rick Dangerous I soon for Gameboy Advance! Blame Alekmaul for this 🙂

Holy Hell is a puzzle game with shmup elements. The goal of the game is to reach the end of every level trying to chain more blocks of the same color together.

You guide a little ship powered with four different colored weapons. Every weapon can destroy only blocks of its same color, so you must switch between them to blow up everything…

Brown blocks cannot be destroyed and must be dodged…

Release notes:

Hi guys there’s online the FINAL version of HOLY HELL GBA. It probably still contain some bugs but i think it’s time to stop with this project. Thanks a lot to all gbadev community for helping me in these years.

Kindergarden 2011 is over. This demoparty held in Haga, Norway, is a yearly meeting of demosceners for productivity but also fun. Shake Your Lawnmower by Darklite is possibly a perfect example of how to combine both elements.
