About the Game

Tattoo Dungeon is an 8-bit action-platformer with some metroidvania influence. It's an indie homebrew gameboy color game, ported to play easily on PCs. This version of the game retains it's original retro 8-bit "charm" just as if you were playing on the original handheld.

Features

• Lost Flash: Recover 20 hidden tattoo designs to fill your gallery.
• Tattoo Skin Maps: Tattoo skin maps to reveal secrets and a hidden power.
• 12 Bosses: Defeat bosses and minibosses to save your town from invasion.
• 4 Weapons: Smash monsters using your trusty chain and 3 special weapons.
• Power-Ups: Discover upgrades to unlock new areas and track down secrets.

The Ultimate Challenge: Players who achieve 100% completion will unlock the true final boss.

PC Only Features

• Optional Shaders: gbc style grid, scanline shader, with CRT options.
• Resolution Options: Upscaled full screen and art bezel options.

Estimated Playtime: ~5+ hours for first playthrough; 2+ hours for optimized speedruns.

Physical cartridge release is planned for later in the year. Best way to support is by buying the game here while waiting for the cartridge.
