I've been secretly working on a new game that just dropped and you can order it today! It's a story focused puzzle exploration game that takes place on an interstellar spaceship. modretro.com/products/fir... @modretro.bsky.social #gamedev #gameboy #chromatic

First Contact Protocol est un coup de cœur mérité. Cette pépite spatiale en huis clos conçue par @jeltron.bsky.social est un des meilleurs jeux homebrew de la Game Boy. Plus de détails sur notre avis et le 9/10 sur GBrewFR www.gbrew.fr/tests/test-f...

Quand les visiteurs en convention rencontre des créateurs #homebrew, c'est un peu comme une rencontre du 3ème type ! 👽🖖 Je ne devrais donc pas être en terrain inconnu avec la nouvelle pépite de @jeltron.bsky.social "First Contact Protocol" lors du #live ☺️ 👉 www.twitch.tv/johndogameboy

I always loved the game Othello and I usually win vs humans but the Neo Geo Pocket game 'Reversi' has convinced me that I have never been worse at anything in my life than I am at this game. #reversi #ngpc #snk

@GumpyFunction who co-created Unearthed with me, has released a new and improved version of his game Feed It Souls! The original version was the 2nd place finalist in GB Compo 23 so I know this will be great. gumpyfunction.itch.io/feed-it-soul... #gameboy #gamedev #retrogames

My favorite game from #gbcompo25 has to be OrmBlok by @jeltron.bsky.social and @technofantasy.bsky.social. What a fantastic spin on a classic game!

I just beat Unearthed for Gameboy Color and loved every second of it. The puzzles are smart and very satisfying to solve. The story and the bleak, oppressive atmosphere are brilliant. Game is beautiful. Simply one of the best games of the GBC. Thanks @jeltron.bsky.social & Gumpy Function.

Today we share a fantastic deep dive into the story of @jeltron.bsky.social, comic book artist and game creator. Ben's work focuses on handcrafted experiences that prioritize player agency, realism, and emotional impact. Check it out! hitsave.org/from-comic-b... youtu.be/dmGnhdhOytI

"Recent" Collector Update: This was a release I was waiting for: Unearthed by @jeltron.bsky.social via @limitedrungames.com - a great concept, as I said already back during GB Compo 2021 😁

New Video! Finally checking out some Game Boy Homebrew again! Game Boy Homebrew In 2025 Is Insane! youtu.be/dQWCCmC5xuY

Deuxième test du week-end, je m′attaque aujourd'hui à un gros morceau, la compilation Metamorphosis collection de @jeltron.bsky.social qui est à mes yeux le meilleur jeu d′horreur disponible sur gameboy. www.gbrew.fr/tests/test-m...

OrmBlok is a new arcade puzzle game for Game Boy Color. Made with love in GBStudio by @jeltron.bsky.social and myself for GB Compo 2025. #gbdev #gamedev #gbstudio #gbcompo25 #homebrew

Happy #franticfriday for those who celebrate! Here's some footage of the first zone of Buzz Bumper, a pinball platformer for the #gameboy color, made in #gbstudio. DEMO coming soon! pearacidic.itch.io/buzz-bumper-...

Ben Jelter and I made an arcade puzzle game for GB Compo 2025! I am super proud of the work we put in. I hope you enjoy the game and I am excited to see what everyone else did for the jam! #gbdev #gbstudio #gbcompo25 #gamedev

To celebrate the 1 year anniversary of the release of Unearthed, we are doing a sale until the end of August! benjelter.itch.io/unearthed/de... #gamedev #gameboy #gbcompo

A new game frin @jeltron.bsky.social has just dropped! I know what I'm doing for the next couple of hours. 🕹️ benjelter.itch.io/first-contac...

I loved it. I′ve done half of the endings, it′s a great game.

And now for something completely different!

I've been working on games nonstop for a while so I haven't done a lot of other important stuff. Just wrapping up another game so I took the time to add Unearthed and Metamorphosis Collection to my website: www.benjelter.com #gamedev

You may not know this but in 2020 in the middle of the pandemic I made a 4 player game that plays a lot like snake: benjelter.itch.io/tapeworm-tan... I feel like maybe people didn't get to try it because of the pandemic. If you like snake, try it out!

@jeltron.bsky.social it’s beautiful!

@kenklippenstein.bsky.social vtdigger.org/2025/04/17/i... Apparently Michelle Zajko's lawyer released a 20 page letter but I can't find anywhere that published the full text. If you can get it, I think it would be in the public interest to make it available.

Phew! 44 fonts for GB Studio and retro dev! A variety of styles and sizes and with .ttf files too! 2bitcrook.itch.io/44-game-boy-... #pixelart #gbstudio

A fan made a totally custom 'The Machine' Gameboy SP! If you have any cool stuff like this, I'm always interested! Credit: Andrew Ferraiuolo https://aferr.github.io/ The game: https://benjelter.itch.io/the-machine #gameboy #gamedev #retrogaming

Started working on a little tank mini-game to be included in my next game. It's pretty fun! I may be biased though. #ScreenshotSaturday #gamedev #gameboy #retrogames

Playing dq9 on a ds I found in the trash

And here we have the two intro pictures for the partner of Number Four, the robot Tin-Head! 192 tiles as usual and captured with the Analog Pocket that I think is the best place to do it. Now my goal finish the maps of the first dungeon!

I liked this review of Metamorphosis Collection. If you missed it last year, it's a horror anthology that includes Opossum Country & 2 other games. Specimen 134 is the biggest game by far. https://www.thegeeklygrind.com/archives/metamorphosis-collection-review #gameboy #gamedev #retrogaming

Back in the UK now! Returned to find another excellent issue of @gbstudiocentral.com magazine all about @gbstudio.dev games
