My game "All Humans Must Die" pays homage to the good old arcade times. Visually I used old sci-fi artwork from the 60s and 70s as inspiration.
According to the motto "easy to pick up but hard to master", I put the difficulty slightly higher right from the start, which then becomes more difficult as you progress.

There is a updated Version of my game with a lot of new stuff such as music, voice samples, music etc.
Updated Version of All Humans Must Die!

Of course you can still play this GBCompo2021 version in your browser.

The best on the compo21 was to get in contact with you!

Love it. Arcade experience at its best! Love how you implemented the color chip detection at the start! Got to include something similar in my game in the future! A must have for any GB collection!

(+1)

Great Marco ! Keep on doing your best.

thank you! great that you revisted my game on your channel.

tough, but fun. I like the start screen interface and illustrations! Great work.

(+2)

thank you very much. yeah its tough...but thought if its just a short highscore game it has to be a little bit tougher :D

If I set the UFO all the way to the right or all the way to the left, they will never shoot me. This is the only way to survive 60 seconds. :)

(+1)

thanks for the feedback…I will see what I can do to fix this problem. But overall do you think it’s to hard to survive? 

Well I'm not a hardcore player but I have played a lot already and I think, yes it's hard.

I enjoyed it! It Took me some times to understand how the game works. But i like it a lot. and the art is impressive.


i had my old gameboy and it works perfectly on it.

and keep up the work. i like to try out more games from u.


PN-Sorry for my bad english.its my 2nd language, so sorry

thank you very much for the feedback. :)

Interesting that it took you a while to understand how it works. Maybe I have to introduce the button layout…and I already thought about 2-3 screens telling a tiny story.

PN: nothing to feel sorry about. It’s my second language, too :D Your english is fine!

Its took me time bc i never check the options in a game, if i do that its pretty rare and i just straight up played it, so i got confused

overall pretty good experience!

I enjoyed it! I thought the cowboys were funny, I liked the skateboard dudes, and the background art was impressive.

the credits were also pretty humorous, hehe.

p.s. I played this on my gameboy colour! Keep up the good work.

thanks! really appreciate your nice feedback.

how was the perfomance on a real GB Color? i just played in on my DMG and my modded GBA so i have no idea if it is playable on real GBC hardware... i have to search my old GBC!! haha

It worked great and it looks good, no issues!

The graphics are very good, but the aliens aren’t that evil. They never kill people. :)

thank you very much.

Never? Are you sure? 😅

Sure. I think they just steal cows. :)

(+1)

haha…steal cows and get away with it trough a forest…I know what you mean 😂
