Hermano (Gameboy) :
Poor Mano is missing his sadly deceased sibling, Nano, and so decides to visit his grave during the Day of the Dead. During this festival, it is said that the gates of the underworld open, allowing friends and relatives to reconnect with their departed loved ones.
Unfortunately, when the aforementioned gates open, they also unleash hundreds of lost souls, demons and monsters into the world, and one such particular nasty decides to snatch Mano just as Nano is about to re-emerge from his soily sleep, and carry him off to hell! Now you, as Nano, will have to search 6 levels of platform madness for keys to open the doors that will lead you back to your brother!
Created by Pat Morita Team for the Gameboy Competition 2023, this is a groovy little platformer that they hope to release as a more fleshed out physical release soon! Nano uses his head to bash the enemies in a style that brought back memories of Decap Attack, although Nano keeps a better grip of his bonce than Chuck did in his game...
The game can be tricky at first as you get to grips with it, but always seems fair, and there are plenty of health pickups to keep you going against the creepily-cute enemies. The bombs they randomly drop will help you clear some of the other obstacles in your way too, so hopefully it won't be too long before Nano gets to finally reconnect with his Hermano!
I've been having fun with this, and it's well worth checking out if you either have a flash cart for use on an actual Gameboy, or if you just want to use an emulator. Either way it can be found by clicking here....
I'm looking forward to seeing what they do with their modified 'finished' version soon too, so remember to keep an eye out for that if you want a proper boxed copy!
