Played for a minute in RetroArch on my phone. Not bad, GBC goty for sure. Only complaint, the lore was too deep in the opening cinematic

This grimace off skateboard looks weird

overall a good looking gameboy color game featuring lots of colors and parallax scrolling.

I would love to see a resurgence of .gba games, I love how light weight they are. It could just be nostalgia.

Part of it is nostalgia, but with the Steam Deck I've been able to emulate GameBoy games that I wasn't able to play before. Safe to say it's renewed my interest in what other hidden gems the GBA had

There is a pretty big Game Boy modding community that is constantly pushing forward with mods. Also the ROM hack community. Game Boy is still alive... ish.

Well that was fun for about ten minutes. I gave up when it got too hard.
