How long is the game & how does save system work?

[Andrew R]

Thanks!

The game runs roundabouts 45 minutes to an hour long! There's actually no saving in it due to the game's length as well as the capabilities of the Game Boy! Gameboy games can have save batteries in them, but many short platformers at the time didn't include them due to extra cost (like Kirby's Dreamland).

SWEET! Will be buying today and leaving a review!

[supersquidlit]

Great! We can't wait to see what you think of Squidlit C:3

About 7 minutes in, I ran into an NPC ( I believe ) & the game froze. :(

I will try again...

[supersquidlit]

Oh no! That's no good, did a error message come up? If so, could you please post it here so we can get on this problem as soon as squidlity possible?

Also, please let us know what the NPC looked like so we can narrow down the troublemaker. Either a screencap or a description will work :)

[Andrew R]

Got past it! ( I think it was just a fluke thing; wouldn't worry about it. )

But...I'm stuck. In the level with the pressure plates, there is a part where you go past some lasers & then there is a pressure plate & door. I don't see ANY WAY to get though that door because the pressure plate won't stay open? Thanks!

[supersquidlit]

Try inking on the little invertebrate that falls on the pressure plate!

We found the freeze you where talking about thanks to the YouTuber Heuster Hue, who showed it in action! It should be fixed and impossible to replicate now.

No saves? Refund incoming.

Oh, I wish I'd read this before reaching the castle and shutting off the game -- to read up on how the save system worked.
Maybe implement a simple password system? That would be age-appropriate for this game.
(I know it's short, but people like me only have time to play in 10-20 minute bursts at a time.)

In 2020 it is unacceptable not to have a save system.
Nowadays people a lot less likely have time for 1-hour gaming sessions.
You must implement persistency or I will consider refunding.
