Hey everyone! This is my very first game, made in just few days for GBJAM 14. Because it is my first time ever making game, it might be a bit rough around the edges. There are still some parts that can break and a few places are poorly optimized, but I putted my whole spare time into this project. I am really proud that I finished a complete 5-15 minute loop with full dungeon, boss and ending.

It is a short Zelda-like adventure inspired by Link’s Awakening. I even composed a custom chiptune music inside GB Studio because I wanted that the boss fight and dungeon sound good.

How it fits the theme: Old Gold

The story of Echoes revolves around a story. In the dungeon, there are pedestals holding the echoes , trapped inside fragments of a broken Golden Key. This legendary "Old Gold" holds memories that feel strangely familiar for some reason. Your goal is just to defeat the dungeon's guardian and put broken legendary sword to pedestal.

Controls

You can play it right here in your browser or download .gb ROM to play it on emulator or an actual Game Boy. I really hope you enjoy these few minutes of gameplay. Any feedback is highly appreciated!
