PlanetGem GB
A downloadable game for Windows
PlanetGem GB is a short bullethell inspired by the audio and visual limitations of the Game Boy Color.
The PlanetGem is a crystal that holds the Planet of Gold together, maintaining harmony and balance... but one day, space pirates steal it! YOU are the Gem Guardian, bound to protect the PlanetGem. Chase after intergalactic bandits, fight beasts created from the PlanetGem's corruption, and save the Gem from decay!

Install instructions
Game is currently Windows only... sorry! You have a choice of downloading and extracting the .zip file, or downloading and running the installer. You may receive a notice from Windows about how the game is from an unverified source, and well... as a solo dev, I guess that's true! But I can't do anything about that! hehe. Maybe one day...
