WishBone 1.3.2

Hello! Thank you for taking interest in this game! WishBone is my first game, and is very much a tech demo/experimental game. The project was created with GBStudio, a  fan made studio application that renders projects for the gameboy game system, and Pixen, a professional pixel art editor designed for projects that try to achieve a design from old-school video games. Most of the skills I obtained to make this project were learned on YouTube from this playlist.

Gameplay:
The game is a very linear story based game driven mostly dialogue and world art. There is not much action, puzzles, or combat but that may change.

Default Controls:

• Up - Up Arrow / W
• Down - Down Arrow / S
• Left - Left Arrow / A
• Right - Right Arrow / D
• A - Alt / Z / J
• B - Ctrl / K / X
• Start - Enter
• Select - Shift
