Congratulations! That’s cool as heck!!
Ah!!! Thanks! <3
Hi Dear!
Can it be downloaded to an Android mobile device?)
You should be able to load the ROM file using a game boy emulator on Android, but I'm not familiar with the details
heya! I found this game cute enough for me to spend the entire weekend getting this to run on a nintendo 3DS and also creating a whole 3DS e-manual for a more coherent experience. If you'd like to put this version up on this page i could perhaps send you the .cia file? here's some pictures:
This is SO cute! Why not put it on your own itch.io page, and I can link to it?
sure! here's the link: https://zeliotl.itch.io/piropa-3ds-dl let me know if there's anything you'd want me to add or change about the page :)
edit: i can add you as admin, accept with this link (removed link)
Posted a devlog linking to it! (I don't need admin privileges, but thanks for offering!)
just wanted to drop a comment to say this game is adorable and a lovely, little digital pet game for any modern Game Boy library! also, I made a 3D cartridge for it~ ✨
This. Is. AMAZING!!! It's made my day!
Hi ! this looks really cool and i wanna try playing it on my 3ds, is that possible? I dont have the option to download the .gb or.pocket links. if i cant use my 3ds what emulator should i consider?
Edit: i had a friend download the files and send them to me that way, turns out the .gb can work as is through mGBA and put though a .cia transfer to be installed on the homescreen !!
is that me
Hi, the Game suddenly crashed in BGB. That's the Debugging Screen. Does this help?
Thank you! I’ll take a look!
Fixed this issue (hopefully) in version 2.1!
Well, now what? I'm waiting for morning and i don't know it it's dead. No idea.
Sadly your frog had died, but it looks like you took good care of them! You can start a new frog by going back to the main menu and choosing “restart”
Hey sg,
we hope you doing great. I am Areeba Malik (aka Titania) from the BrewOtaku-Team, we are launching our first homebrew gaming magazine soon. We loved your work and we have mentioned your game “Piropa” in our very first issue.
Please share your contact details if you would like to have a digital copy of our magazine. As we intend to sell the magazine at a very affordable price, you would need to keep it confidential for you only, of course you would get a free copy.
We look forward to hearing from you soon.
Consistently one of my favourite creators on this site <3
how do i download it??'
It's only playable in the browser
how do I play it in the browser?
Oops sorry, I had a similar comment on my other game and didn't mean to reply the same thing here! You should see a list of downloads right above the comments section; download the .gb file, and load it in a Game Boy emulator.
Thanks for making this, it's lovely!
Thanks for playing! <3
I noticed that the frog's years of life continue to count even after his death if you don't quit the game. Is it wanted like that? I stopped at 155 years old^^
Oops! I'll fix that in the next version, thanks for letting me know!
Hi! We played your game on stream and really enjoyed it!
OMG thank you so much for playing! Your commentary was so wonderful to listen to! You took such good are of your frog that they never got sick or dirty (and hint: the butterflies might be easier to catch if you can get them to stay in one place somehow...) <3
Looking good! Excited to mess around with this more!
Yay! Looks so good on your bright green GBC with a plant-y backdrop! Also... pet your frog for me? They look so sad
hey, you have the same gameboy as me!
