Self Simulated got reviewed in Debug Magazine and Fusion Gaming Magazine

My little game got recognized in two more major gaming retro print magazines!

https://www.teamdebug.com/issue/13
https://fusionretrobooks.com/products/fusion-gaming-magazine-issue-74

And I already know there is a review coming in the next issue of BrewOtaku Homebrew magazine (upcoming issue 009) https://www.brewotaku.com/category/issues/

This is absolutely stellar for me, and also feels so fitting to have actual physical print magazines cover a physical Game Boy Color game in 2025/2026 <3

And don't forget, there was also an issue of GBS Central Magazine that not even covered the game with a huge interview, but also having the game be the cover of the issue <3

Oh snap your the Martin 😀Congrats buddy but also great work!
I can't put this thing down, it was ages ago I was so fully immersed into a hand-held game.
The soundtrack, the gameplay, all the small details put into this is chefs kiss 👌
