Rustbound - GameBoy Homebrew Racing Game

Note

Here is a homebrew game for the Gameboy with a limited palette of 4 colors.

This game mechanics are inspired by Battle Outrun on Master System. I have implemented the fake 3D effect of the track rendering using the visual tricks used in the late 80's.

You have to defeat a boss at each level ends by bumping in its car before being timeout!

This game can be run on a Gameboy Color or any gb emulator

Controls

Car upgrades

Here is what are the effects of the car upgrades                   

• Engine: Speed and acceleration                                                                          
• Tires: You lose less speed when a wheel goes off the asphalt. You lose less speed in corners as well               
• Bumper: Each crash takes away a big chunk of speed at once, and every level makes that chunk smaller. 
• (Steering) Shaft: Steering is sharper, so the car turns into bends harder.
