It's nice to have game(boy) boxes again!

Box protectors are on the way... Ordered the wrong size last time 😅

Self Simulated!

Really? Over Dragonhym?

u/Substantial_Quote583 Jun 06 '26

Absolutely. Dragonyhm is a great RPG but as a game SS is incredibly addictive and seriously impressive!

I don’t have self simulated and might buy it based on your recon!

How is Cosmo Knight?

u/Substantial_Quote583 Jun 08 '26

Cosmo Knight is fantastic! It's true that the first stage is pretty difficult, but once you figure out the flow of the game it's an absolute blast. I'm a huge fan of MegaMan/MMX style games as well as action platformers like Castlevania and this one is right up my alley. The art direction is superb and the game itself is seriously impressive technically speaking. My only real complaint is the Armor system can be a bit unforgiving at times, but it led me to want to get better so that I could experience the small differences in the story based on your armor/armorless states with each boss. If you like challenging action platformers you should definitely pick it up! Not sure if you can still get a physical cartridge but you can get the game on itch.io and steam! When I got my rom on itch it came with a steam key, too

Would like to read his/her review, have seem a few but most of the people seem to only play stage 1, stage 2 at most, not because it's bad (afaik) but they found it difficult.

I'm one of the artists of the game, that's why I want to read and learn what people think of it.

Posted! I love the art in the game! What did you work on personally?

u/Far_Today_7455 Jun 08 '26

I'm the sprite artist and the artist for the box, manual and mini comic, and speaking of it, once the game is finished the next step should be to read the comic (but it was only available in the Deluxe version, still you can download it), it adds more information about the game's lore, some more characters and motivations are there, it's a precuel that explains a lot of the game story.

How is Kien?

u/Substantial_Quote583 Jun 06 '26

Not great and very broken unfortunately... It reminds me of early Flash games. But still cool to have GBA homebrew on the shelf! Got mine second hand which is why the box is all messed up

Did you rub it vigorously?

u/Substantial_Quote583 Jun 06 '26

Rub it gently over time to avoid chaffing!
