Excavation Station

Welcome to Excavation Station!! A game about digging up fossils and treasure! 

It is basically the Underground Mining Minigame from Pokémon Diamond and Pearl, but made for a Game Boy. You can use a shovel or a pickaxe to dig through layers of dirt to uncover fossils or treasure. The fossils count towards your quota (the main goal of the game), and treasure is converted to gold to allow you to buy stuff in the shop! 

This game was made for the GBJam 14, where the theme was 'Old Gold'. 

As per the jam rules, the game was created in a 160 x 144 resolution (which is why the screen is tiny; please use full screen!!), is made up of only 4 colors, and uses the same number of controls that a Game Boy would have:

Z - (A button)

X - (B button)

Arrow Keys - (D-pad)

ENTER - (Start)

TAB - (select)

All music, sprites, and code were made by me! The main title screen was a stock photo of a dino fossil that was put through a "posterize" filter, and then I changed the colors to my 4 colors :)

((Quick update:  Unfortunately, my game was banned due to my main title image and the resolution not being 160x144 px.  :( All assets needed to be made by you, but I thought it was okay since I had edited it during the game jam. That was my mistake.  However, I promise the game was made in 160 x 144 resolution. Godot allows you to set your viewport size with a window override which was just used to allow me to see the game easier when playtesting X) No big deal though I Had  a lot of fun.
