A downloadable game

Hungry Birds was made using the ZGB Engine and GBDK in 48 Hours for the ZGBJAM2 (https://itch.io/jam/zgb-jam-2) game jam. The Game Boy ROM is available (hungrybirds_jam_version.gb) for download and can be played in your emulator of choice or on Game Boy hardware using a flash cart or other means.

Story

The theme for the game jam was "I"M HUNGRY!!". Mother bird has appeared with a bevy of delicious worms for her three chicks. Unfortunately, she has also collected not so delicious rocks.

Game play

You control three chicks using the A (worth 3 points), B (worth 2 points), and UP (worth 1 point) buttons. Help the hungry chicks devour worms while avoiding eating rocks.

=GOOD
=BAD

Be careful as the speed of the worms and rocks will increase with your score! In the updated version the mother bird will occasionally throw a heart if one or more of your chicks ate a rock.

Good luck!
