Metal Heart: Wool n' Tail

A game made in a little over a week for Clover Jam 4, a jam with a pixel art focus and the theme of:

-> Lost Signal <-

You will take control of a robotic woman named J-1RY, her friends call her Jiry, and blast various little monsters on her quest to find the adorable sheep girl, Phepi. She is what Jiry refers to as "her caretaker", the one that she allows to maintain her. And today Phepi went missing as she was making repairs to Jiry! When Jiry attempts to locate her via a transmitter, she isn't able to read Phepi's signal. 

So it is your job as the player to scour the village and ask the natives for any information regarding Phepi's whereabouts along with Phepi's girlfriend, Talia, who urgently wants to find her as well. But your progress will be slowed numerous times by pesky monsters that are bothering the villagers.

My Commentary:

This game was initially inspired by a color palette created by retroadamshow which is named autumngb. I knew that I wanted to make a game that fit with the autumn season and when I found this palette I felt the need to make it in a style inspired by Gameboy games, but orange. Other key changes include the use of one extra color and a different aspect ratio. But I feel that I successfully captured a retro feel despite not strictly adhering to the Gameboy's limitations.
