Played on GB Hardware/Web browsers

There are no Nail Pogo and Upwards Nail Swing mechanics in this game [I'm sorry, I do not know how to script such a mechanic in the current build (beta2) of GB Studio Engine]

Pixel art in the style of most MS-DOS games

Music is crappy/there are no SFX yet [I'm an artist so I don't have the knowledge to make music/bgm for this, let alone Gameboy specific .MOD files. You can help me make music though!]

No Geos [Currency] to collect or spend

No Charms/Nail Upgrades [Equip-able Power-Ups]
