Thanks so much! I am really glad you liked it. And there's not a different ending but there is a reward for getting par on all the levels.

I just beat Unearthed for Gameboy Color and loved every second of it. The puzzles are smart and very satisfying to solve. The story and the bleak, oppressive atmosphere are brilliant. Game is beautiful.
Simply one of the best games of the GBC.
Thanks @jeltron.bsky.social & Gumpy Function.

and also @technofantasy.bsky.social was co-creator!

Thanks for adding us to the shortlist!

A minor update to my #Playdate game "Sound Mind" that's still hugely satisfying: I finally replaced the placeholder animations for the bookcases.

Keen-eyed viewers will notice that the secret passages create a space that doesn't make sense, but that's okay because the game doesn't make sense.

"Recent" Collector Update: This was a release I was waiting for: Unearthed by @jeltron.bsky.social via @limitedrungames.com - a great concept, as I said already back during GB Compo 2021 😁

It's a puzzle game where you build a playfield with blocks and then pick up the pellets you created with a worm. I hope you like it!

A sci-fi mining mech with a construction worker inside on a rocky planet. The construction worker looks out at the horizon and sees Earth in the distance. There is a sale banner on the image that says 'Anniversary sale, 33% off' and a cartoon cat saying 'dig in!'

To celebrate the 1 year anniversary of the release of Unearthed, we are doing a sale until the end of August!

First Contact Protocol by BenJelter A sci-fi puzzle game with branching choices and a crew fighting to survive.

A new game frin @jeltron.bsky.social has just dropped! I know what I'm doing for the next couple of hours. 🕹️ benjelter.itch.io/first-contac...

I loved it. I′ve done half of the endings, it′s a great game.

Really glad you like it!

I’m incredibly excited to share that my Game Boy Color game, Self Simulated, is now available as a physical boxed cartridge!

I really hope you enjoy playing it as much as I enjoyed making it. ❤️

Not yet, I still need to make one.

A game logo that says FCP which stands for First Contact protocol. There are six screenshots of a gameboy game behind the logo. They all portray various sci-fi scenarios between crew members on a spaceship. One is a map of the ship.

I've been secretly working on a new game that just dropped and you can order it today!

It's a story focused puzzle exploration game that takes place on an interstellar spaceship.

And now for something completely different!

I've been working on games nonstop for a while so I haven't done a lot of other important stuff. Just wrapping up another game so I took the time to add Unearthed and Metamorphosis Collection to my website: www.benjelter.com

That's really cool that you're covering Game Boy homebrew now!

Tapeworm Tangle by BenJelter A game where tapeworms learn to be team players

You may not know this but in 2020 in the middle of the pandemic I made a 4 player game that plays a lot like snake: benjelter.itch.io/tapeworm-tan...

I feel like maybe people didn't get to try it because of the pandemic. If you like snake, try it out!

Hey so happy to see these out in the wild now! I got a few copies in the mail myself too.

@jeltron.bsky.social it’s beautiful!
