AvivI just submitted a game for the #gbcompo25 !
As it's my first game for the Game Boy, I went as simple as I could manage: an implementation of Scoundrel, a solitaire dungeon-crawling card game designed by Zach Gage and Kurt Bieg.
JeltronOrmBlok is a new game I made with Mike Liesz over the last 3 months for GB Compo 2025.

It is an arcade puzzle game where you build a playfield with blocks and then play through it as a worm. Hopefully you will find it as addictive as I did!
