Trip World is quite unique! It's a platforming game where most enemies don't attack you, only if you do it first.
It controls great and it might very well be the best looking game on Game Boy.
And the best part is you could play it in a sitting, so if you need a good palate cleanser between big games, check it out! It's in the 3DS eShop, which is closing at the end of the month.

Four drummers are leading the way
Two silhouettes on the roof of a truck
A blurry picture of the crowd, it's hard to tell where it stops

Murmurations. #photography #gameboy

The starlings are flying away from the camera, we still can see their bird-shapes
The starlings are further away, they're only black spots
The starlings are gone, but we still can see them in the distance

Strike II. #gameboy #photography

The crowd. We can see a church bathed in the sun at the distance.
Three people are sitting atop a a big square thing. One of them wear a hat and a facemask. They are watching the protest from above.
A woman is raising a flag They both appear white on the black background

Strike III. #gameboy #photography

A surprising picture. The crowd at the bottom seem to be reflected on a surface at the top. A bright light in the middle.
A clearer picture of the crowd beeing reflected in the mirror above.
Another darker picture of the crowd being reflected in the mirror.

Silhouettes. #gameboy #photography

Same square, more silhouettes join in. They are about 6. Strangeness intensifies
Same square, more silhouettes. They might not be the same than on the previous pictures. People passing by maybe.
The square is getting crowded with silhouettes, ad still... something feels wrong

Strike IV. #gameboy #photography

The crowd from above, it is lead by someone holding a smoke bomb
Same framing, the crowd now fills the boulevard
The crowd from even higher, it's hard to tell where it starts and where it stops

Strike V. #gameboy #photography

the protest from higher up. People are marching
Same as before, a little more people on the screen

Tunnels. #gameboy #photography

Gare St Charles, Marseille We can see the rails vanishing into the light
More arcades. Once again, everything converges toward the center of the picture
it's really hard to tell what's going on here. Some kind of square in the dark, indescriptible shapes

Landscapes. #gameboy #photography

Grey sky. A dark branch on the foreground at the top. The landscape at the bottom is pretty heterogen, buildings under the sun. The sea in the distance.
White sky. Rolling landscape. It's hard to tell if it's woods or a city.
Le Vallon des Auffes, under the sun.

Trees. #gameboy #photography

example of "crown shyness" Branches from two different trees get very close without touching each other
Picture of a tree, or bush. Lot of branches and leaves, it's quite a mess, but a pretty one
Three big branches pointing toward the white sky, they look a bit threatening

Omens. #gameboy #photography

Statue of a woman raising her sword. It seems lightning strikes right where her sword is pointing
A bright ray of light in the dark sky above the city
The sun shining from inside an arch in the distance

turns out the GameBoy screen's ghosting effect is so bad for moving sprites, it doesn't really matter what your animations look like anyway. 😅
