I know this is a slightly weird question, but I always like to see things how their creator imagined them when I can. So like... visually, should I be setting things up for "pure" colors, colors desaturated to imitate the GBC effect, an actual GBC screen (or emulation thereof), a GBA screen (or emulation thereof), or some other way? Like, I get this is fiddly and all, and also that "what looks good for me" is probably a general "right answer." But I always want to like... try to see things how the person who made it saw or imagines it?
When I started making the Yurivania series I wasn’t very familiar with the GB line of hardware so I didn’t really understand the implications of my color choices.
Instead, I thought of the values that the default web emulator GB Studio uses as the target palette. It attempts to desaturate the colors like a non-backlit GBC, but I don’t believe they do a terribly accurate job.
In general, anything slightly desaturated will work, but you can use the screen shots on this page as a guide!
Thanks for playing super far!
To get both those scrolls:
How to get Last Scrolls
1. Return to the Glassy Tarn. Underneath the lake, find an exit on the lower right.
2. Follow the passage till you find the Mermaid's house.
3. Meditate by the bubble fountain to gain the insight to fly.
4. Return the the Vampire Quarters and use flight to get the scroll there.
5. Go the Abyssal Subterrane and walk all the way to the right to the black dropoff.
6. Fly up. Find the scroll at the end of a passage to the left of the dropoff.
really fun but oh god the controls terrify me. how am i supposed to use alt and arrow keys oh god (im sorry im just complaining because i cant just use my mouse or click)
Took me a while to get around to play this, but it is quite fun as one would expect.
spoilers:
there's a bug in the chaotic realm that results in the ability to fly despite text implying that you shouldn't be able to do this, kinda trivializes the platforming puzzle.
Oh man, I was playing for a good couple hours and didn't realize how late it'd gotten, but I had to keep going and finish it. This was so good!!! I can't believe you did so much for this jam, I now see why your previous games were bangers, and also ones I definitely wanna play once I get the chance.
There was so much I loved. The characters, the huuuge map full of cute npcs and interactions, the mechanic of slowly learning how to build the summoning circle, and of course the ending and the polycule in general. It was so warm and nice and I had an absolute blast with it.
It really made me feel that I'd love to live in a world like that. Consider me a fan, and I'll make sure to follow you for future stuff, and also to play your earlier games at some point.

That’s an interesting question!

Let me know if you run into any trouble!
I am literaly too dumb to listen the lesbian mermaid near the obvious fountain. 🤦

Haha, fair enough! Perhaps one day we’ll have a viable mouse interface for old school platformers :)

Oh gosh, thanks for the bug report – will definitely fix this!

Oh wow, thank you so much!!! ✨
I’m really glad you enjoyed it. It sounds like you got out of it exactly what I was going for 😁
The prior games are not nearly so long as this one – I got very carried away on this, haha 🎆
