MeteoRain (GBA Jam 2021)

Meteors are falling from the sky! Avoid them as long as possible to make an high score!

This game is my entry for the GBA Jam 2021: https://itch.io/jam/gbajam21

This is a port/remake of a previous homebrew game I did for the SEGA Mega Drive / Genesis. But for the GBA Jam, I programmed this version from scratch as it's 100% made in Lua! Indeed, I used the wonderful BPCore-Engine by Evan Bowman that allows to create a GBA games in Lua. If you ever used a fantasy console like PICO-8 or TIC-80, it's a very similar tool, but the resulting game will run on a actual console, our beloved Game Boy Advance!

If you want to try your hand at making GBA games, I really recommend you BPCore-Engine: it's a real pleasure to make games with it. And I'm also sharing the heavily commented code source of my game if it can help you making your own GBA games in Lua: https://github.com/drludos/meteorain-gba
