About PlanetGem GB

The PlanetGem is a crystal that holds the Planet of Gold together. The GeeBees live in harmony with the PlanetGem... but one day, space pirates steal it! The player takes the role the leader GeeBee, chasing after intergalactic bandits and fighting beasts created from the PlanetGem's corruption.

PlanetGem GB is a short bullethell inspired by the audio and visual limitations of the Game Boy Color.
