Spicyfuse took this job seriously, given a number of accolades to his name, most of which were released for the Game Boy Color. Alongside over one dozen releases, the creator has open access to his Game Boy testing room, where anyone can go and take a sneak into what’s cooking at his creation lab! Not every developer is that open to the public, which is positively recognized and appreciated.
Appealing visuals, detailed characters with background, an interesting written story speak for itself, although some converted graphics could have needed a manual fix.
