Game Boy / Game Boy Color · 2019 · by binji

Porklike GB is an open-source, free homebrew roguelike developed for the Game Boy by developer binji in 2019 under the MIT license, adapting an earlier PICO-8 title. The game challenges players to navigate a multi-floor dungeon tower generated procedurally on each attempt. Movement and combat occur on a strict turn-based grid, where enemies take a step each time the player acts. As players descend through the levels, they must manage health, collect treasure, find keys to unlock exits, and confront hostile creatures with varied attack patterns. The permadeath mechanic ensures that defeat resets the run, requiring tactical positioning and deliberate resource management to survive and escape.
