Mig-21 is a classic air war game for the Game Boy Color. There's just one level with a main menu to demonstrate the coding quality.

This project focuses on game design and incorporates demo effects into the game, including the intro part, main menu, start level, pause mode, game over, and congratulations screen. The demo parts are memory-efficient, with the star intro using only a 4K code size, and graphics are calculated in real-time. To overcome graphics difficulties, 3D-calculated objects are utilized and arranged using a simple and efficient packing method. A cursor interface is also implemented for the main menu and subparts.

The game engine in this project differs in how it handles palettes reloading, animated backgrounds, and big animated explosions. A lot of effort was put into providing good playability and delivering a visually impressive experience.

Mig-21 was released for Bung's 3rd Amateur GameboyTM Format Games Coding Competition (3rd place).
