Hero Core GBA by evanbowman is an action and adventure game, redone for GBA. The original game ‘Hero Core’ has been originally made by Daniel Remar. The GBA version is still in development.

The game follows a Flip Hero, who returns for the final battle against his nemesis, Cruiser Tetron. Like the first game, the controls are very simple and the gameplay is easy to learn. The non-linear game world allows you to tackle the boss machines in nearly any order, or head straight for Tetron’s headquarters at the center of the asteroid if you’re skilled enough. Your objectives in the game include:

• Primary objective: Defeat your nemesis, Cruiser Tetron.
• Secondary objective: Level up by destroying Tetron’s boss machines.
• Tertiary objective: Collect all ten core computers scattered across the map.​

Attack on Voxelburg by nuclear is an action Gameboy Advance game for the GBAJam22.

You need to fly over 3D terrain, find and destroy all enemy defense pods, before they manage to shoot you down. Your final score depends on the time it took to take out all the enemy pods, and the damage you sustained. If you want to avoid enemy fire, either wait until its weapon has charged up and is ready to shoot, or shoot it first to disrupt the charging process. The jam version of the game doesn’t have music, sound effects, a high score table, and is basically a prototype. But it’s playable, and the voxel landscape engine runs reasonably fast on the GBA.​
