UPDATE/BUG FIX:
-Some people were having issues with the bridge. So I made it slightly more forgiving in the controls and made the cutscene where the other player falls through the platform only happen once so you don't have to watch it again every time you fall!

if you decide to make season 2 and 3, you should make that when you complete hard mode, it ends like in season three, while in the normal ending, gi-hun manages to make hit the button before killing Player 333, so he saves him and the baby!

I had so much fun playing! Waiting for season 2-3 games!
Nice work, as someone who makes fan games I was pleasantly suprised
The newgrounds link is dead

Thank you for the video review!
A pleasure. Thanks for the awesome game.
Better than the official Netflix game we got
Cool game. Really enjoyed this Squid Game demake. This truly gave that retro vibe. I wish we have this game back in the 90's, I would have loved playing this on my actual Game Boy from my childhood.
Awesome job making this, 64 Bits!
And also. would just like to share my playthrough of this game if you would like to check it out:
Thank you for playing and sharing your playthrough! That was valuable input for us to learn more about how people play our game!
I also made a Squid Game Boy Version, but my Version is 3 Games due to being a Novice GB Studio Game Creator my creations are inspirided from Atari Games on the game Boy, and the Game resembles as a port from the Atari since there's no easy tools to make Atari 2600 games but hey mines the Atari 2600 version but only as a game boy game I really hope someone makes a Gameboy Cartridge to purchase the Game. But Man this is better I can play this on the confort of my bed.
Any chance of a nes version?
There are no tools for SNES or NES that I know of that wouldn't require you to code everything from scratch. GB Studio has been a tremendous help in creating this game. Without it it wouldn't have been possible! :O
You can check a fork of gb studio that add nes compatibility. Its called bb studio: https://github.com/michel-iwaniec/bb-studio
That is INCREDIBLY cool! I'm checking it out!
Also check Nesmaker. Is a commercial software, but is very intuitive. https://www.thenew8bitheroes.com/
Good game. Really fun.
Really impressive! even to the point of producing a manual and some great artworks! I loved all the tests and their Game Boy visions, it's very well transcribed. I do one live per week on Game Boy homebrew, and I'd love to do one on yours, I've already got the next 3 weeks scheduled with games, but I think I'll do it before the end of July if you've got networks or anything else you'd like me to put forward don't hesitate to let me know :)
Thank you so much! That would be amazing! Feel free to mention our YouTube channel (64 Bits) and our Itch.io page. And of course if you want to share the manual or box art in your stream, go for it! Looking forward to seeing the stream later this summer :)
This looks great. Looking forward to playing it
This game is just amazing.
I love the manual. Lots of custom art to see there!
