Nauti Buoy

Story

Welcome aboard the Nauti Buoy, our research facility's latest state of the art submarine;  capable of diving down deep waters and destroying anything that gets in the way.

Recently, our scientists have discovered some underwater ruins overrun by gigantic and dangerous sea creatures.

Your latest mission as the captain piloting this new vessel would be to traverse deep underwater and clear the site so it may be suitable for research.

We wish you and your crew a safe return!

Nauti Buoy is a classic retro 8-bit top-down shooter game, capable of being played on the original 1989 Nintendo Game Boy.

Development Info

This game was developed and entirely programmed in SM83 assembly language.

Huge shoutout to the GBDev Discord Group for helping out and giving us advice on how to do it!

The Emulicious emulator was also indispensable in debugging our game.

GitHub Repository
Here's a link to our codes and some documentation, please note that the codes can get pretty messy as this was our first time coding in assembly and creating a game for the Nintendo Game Boy!
