This is such a charming puzzle game that genuinely made me laugh out loud at multiple points! Love the Jorts n' Cream shop and I got to be real friends with the Reset Frog, lol. Also, the villain's name is probably my favorite in a Game Boy game ever.
Hi! This game seems great insofar! Unfortunately, when the captain asked if I wanted to set sail and I told him "Not yet..." the game softlocked on the screen with the captain staring at me, unable to move on.
I'm so sorry to hear that! I've never heard of that glitch before, thank you for sharing it with me. Unfortunately, I won't be able to patch the game anytime soon, as I am now employed at a game studio and most of my free time goes towards working on a new personal project.
I played your game on Coolmath Games and it was awesome! I especially like what happens when you find all the cats because it reminds me of what I did in my game.
It's too bad I couldn't help that one lady find a bathroom. I thought maybe she could use the empty juice bottle...
i love this game so much, all the little details like the kitties are adorable! i love the character designs, especially the wizard! i found this on cool math games, but they don't link to your itch.io page at all. i don't want to assume the worst, but i'm really hoping they got your permission to use your game. :/ anyway, i loved the game and i'm looking forward to seeing what else you make!
Thank you so much for your nice comment, and for looking out for me! Don't worry, they licensed the game from me and have been incredibly kind throughout the whole process. What you played on CMG is a slightly altered version I made for them to be a bit more child-friendly (removed the captain's smoking and changed a minor character's dialogue).
I really like the Game and I assume the levels are expandable to have a longer overall play time in future releases. Just one thing is a bit annoying: The browser controls Z/X are a bad choice for non-English keyboard layouts. E.g. German layout has Z and Y swapped.
Hey, I'm so sorry about that! I'm trying to replicate your issue but can't figure it out. When the elevator door was blocked, could you not just talk to the Reset Frog to clear the way and restart the puzzle?
Thank you so much for your help! I've figured out the issue. Interestingly enough, it technically wasn't a softlock as when the glitch occurs you just turn invisible haha. I'll be publishing the update as soon as I can.
Might want to rename the ROM file to something other than "game" so we can identify which game it is in our download directory without having to load it into a GameBoy or emulator .
damn this game is so delightful!! it's charming it's cute it's fun to puzzle solve, such a sweet lil' game dude : ) takes abt 1 hour to beat if u talk to everybody!

No worries just wanted to inform! Best of luck of your new personal project! ^__^

Wow! I really liked the combination of a cool story with quests and puzzles (great designed!). Awesome and cute game!
Very cute little puzzle game! Love the character sprites! Borbo reminds me of a marshmallow. I very much enjoyed this!
I cant get past the first cave puzzle but I love this game. So cool!
Great game.

Thanks for playing :-)
that's fantastic, i'm happy to hear it! :)
just curious, what was the dialogue change
It's been a few years but if I recall correctly, in the city, there's a ghost who says they died from eating glue. I forget what I changed it to!
Borbo's Quest Walkthrough
So cool! Thanks for sharing :-)
Is there a point to the fish building/room? I ended with an extra $1. Can't go back and double check now 🤔
just there as a little fun area, no point :) the extra dollar is for in case people struggled to find enough money. thanks for playing!

Game soft-locked during the puzzle on floor 8 when I pushed the boulder towards the elevator. No option but to start over.

As soon as the boulder hit the elevator, a weird noise played and my character disappeared.

Thanks for the input, I'll do that :)
