Install instructions

FEED JACK will run on the original Game Boy, but it works better on Game Boy Color.   The sprite transparency has not been designed for the default DMG color palette.  I hope to fix that in a future update.

Jack is pretty picky!

That was a blast. Took me back to playing the pizza puzzle in Zoombinis.

I'm glad you enjoyed it.  That pizza troll was a direct inspiration for this game!

Don't give up, skeleton!

Gave it a quick LP - Enjoyed it but I always go out hoping for something More - like More expressions of skeletal sass!

Thanks for playing!  I enjoyed your video.

Try starving JACK.  I'm sure he really likes that...

That was a pretty cool easter egg!
