Sporophore

Sporophore is a level-based platformer for the Game Boy Color. This is a collaboration between Idnit Media and Inkwell Imp and a submission to GBCompo23.

All art assets, music tracks, SFX, and code were made during the jam over the course of one month and 11 days. Original concept artwork was created by Alex Mesa (Inkwell Imp) and photographed using a Pocket Camera by Nathan Mahaffy (Idnit Media). Programmed in GB Studio by Idnit Media using the Platformer+ plugin by Hauntology.

This game will run extremely slow on original DMG, so it is strongly suggested to run on GBC or later.

You embody an amorphic mass known as "Sporophore" - a fruiting body of highly mutative spores, who has just escaped galactic custody and has crash landed on earth. Navigate miniature worlds as you spread the contagion across the newly discovered continent and hunt down the colony that imprisoned you. Face pint sized foes and gain new abilities along the way, harnessing the power of your enemies.
