Goodboy Galaxy is a game in development for Game Boy Advance, PC and Nintendo Switch. It is an exploration focused platform game, similar to Metroid or Cave Story. The game project was orginiated from a Kickstarter campaign and the full game is expected to be released on real cartridges, as well as digitally for GBA and modern platforms.

This demo is released as Chapter Zero, which is not planned to be part of the main game. It is available in Japanese, English, French, Brazilian Portuguese, Arabic and Chinese.

Installation

Available in CIA format.

Copy .cia to your SD card and install it with the CIA manager of your choice.

User guide

For the most dedicated secret-hunting players, your mission is to find Azure, a secret crossover character from the upcoming indie platformer Orange Island.

Note that the game will appear blurry due to being upscaled to fit the 2DS/3DS screen.

To avoid this, you can play in original GBA resolution by holding down Start+Select on the black screen while the game is starting up.

Controls

D-Pad - Walk, Aim

L - Look

R - Charge blast (when unlocked)

A - Fire

B - Jump

Start - Enter (menu), Pause, Friend cards (when collected)

Start+Select (while booting the game) - Play in original GBA resolution
