Overview
"Rise of the Penguins" is a 2D Side-Scrolling Action-Platformer for Gameboy. The game is meant to be simple and linear but with some challenging enemies. The game is inspired by ghost n goblins and a bit of mega man.
Features
6 levels with a variety of enemies in each level
2 Extra Levels
Boss Rush Mode, Unlocked only after beating all 6 levels
6 mini boss enemies and 8 boss enemies(including the 2 ks ones) and a final boss
6 simple difficulty settings to adjust checkpoints to make the game harder or easier, with checkpoints resetting after a game over but modifiable through these settings.
Basic hud that shows the highscore, health and time remaining
Janky animations made by me
Minimal story with no text -but hoping the game is engaging enough to keep playing
