Bark Sequelo - Demo
Bark Sequelo [Demo] is an action platformer sequel to my first hobby project, The Tragic Tale of Bark Scruffalo, but this time, the game is powered by state of the art Game Boy technology!
Explore a mysterious area in the pacific northwest in an attempt to rescue your captured dog back from Ȅ̷̱͉̗͉̺̫͔̘̞͇̦͒͜͝Ŗ̷̨͈̳̓͂̈́͆̄͘R̸͍͉̦̂͌͐̽͛̑̌̑̒Ö̵͎̲̤͙̦̯̥͚́͐̔R̴̡̢̬͈̟̖̯̻̭̦̗̒̍͛̀̾̈́͠ͅ.
This game can be played in your browser (on both PC and Mobile!), but if you're able, I'd highly recommend playing on an original Game Boy or an Analogue Pocket!
PC Browser Controls:
- Move: WASD or Arrow Keys
- Jump: Z or J
- Shoot: X or K
- Start: Enter
A couple more notes:
- This is labelled a demo because it is a short game (think maybe ~15 minutes), but I still consider it a "complete" experience.
- The game is FREE! The optional donation popup (when downloading the rom or Pocket version) is only there in case you feel like tipping in support of my efforts, but please do not feel any obligation to do so.
Enjoy!

The play time might be not very long, but the fun is there for sure. So we guess you achieved your goal. Did you think about expanding the game a bit yet? It's so lovely, so it deserves more!
incredible visuals! Controls feel nice! Such a great little game. Played it on my GBA last night. Really enjoyed it. I totally agree with ChunkySteveo below. If you're finished developing this, I'd just call it Bark Sequelo and leave the Demo off the title. You might call out that it's a short game, but he's absolutely right. This is more feature-full than many other GB-esque games on itch.
That being said, I would love to see a longer version of this game. If you're interested in working that way, you could also leave this as the demo and keep developing a longer-play game to sell. Or just leave it as-is! Haha, it's fantastic!
Whatever you decide to do, props on an incredible project! I love it!
Thank you so much for typing that up, Mosthumble09. You just made my day, truly!
I was tossing around the idea of making a longer version of the game at one point, and it is still a possibility, but I have some other ideas I am already starting to play with, so we'll see.
Thanks again for the kind words.
Graphics are looking awesome
Some gorgeous artwork and a solid platformer. Just played a little, but will download for my GB.
I'd scrap the Demo tag if this is a finished game.... most people want quick simple games to play, and there are shorter games out there calling themselves FULL games! 👌🏻
Thanks for the feedback, ChunkySteveo!
I was struggling with how to present the game, so I appreciate your insight. I may just do that…
It’s also hard for me to gauge how long it takes folks to beat it the first time. I’d love to see the analytics on that one :D
