Such a fun little game, here is my tribute...
First of all, thank you very much, I always have a great time. It's interesting what games people like. There are times when I spend weeks making a game and it is hardly viewed, and there are times when very simple games made in half a day are more interested. It's always interesting to me how well a game does, but thanks to you more and more people are seeing these rewrites. It's great that you do your channel with such intensity. However! I will also offer something if You have 1000 subscribers, you can choose a game that you really want, and I will try to make it for you if it's really possible on Gameboy. So choose something that is not impossible! :)
Hey this is absolutely awesome, many thanks - honestly - thank you very much.
Ok, not sure if this is going to be possible - but would a Rally-X type game be doable ?
Yes, the X-Rally looks very good, I think it can be implemented, although there are 1-2 things to think about. Well then, let's have a game like this as soon as possible. Pay attention to the number of subscribers! :)
Hey that is awesome - thank you ! :)
Who is Joey?
I didn't know when I transcribed the game, so I looked it up. According to Google, this is the name given to baby kangaroos.
