OMG!! I’m Absolutely in love with this! Not all heroes wear Mjolnir Armor, some make bada$$ stuff like this!! There are 3 things that shouldn’t be as insanely good as they are….. PB&J sandwiches, pure Colombian BamBam, and this masterpiece 10/10
This game is crazy good! There are some funny bugs, but the way how it is implemented is nice. Yeah I know gameplay is simpler than in original game, but it's very impressive how well it's imported for GBA!
This is so incredible! When I reached Halo and the Marine said the cavalry has arrived and it really took me back. "This cave is not a natural formation" really cracked me up!
This is fantastic, so true to the original! I’d be happy to offer resources or support to see level 3! I love how you’ve basically thought of everything devolved to a gbc level. The mechanics in level too were amazing! I was genuinely blown away! Great work so far and thank you for your efforts and the time taken!
Absolutely amazing game, excited to play more levels when they are out :) are you planning to add harder difficulties at any point? Would love an excuse to replay the levels already out
this is one of the coolest projects I’ve seen in a long time. Is there a plan to complete the whole game? Great work, hopefully this opens the door for other projects of this caliber
Really wonderful, quite well done. The new Warthog and sniping game play is a really clever way to evoke the moments of the original while translating them to GBC in a way that is actually fun. Those jumps over the river are iconic. Great work!!
I hope you add the trigger buttons of the game boy eventually so we could potentially have grenades be the left trigger and A or B be a gun bash or there's other cool mechanics you could add doing that.
If you add a bash the simplest way would probably be putting a sprite animation over chief corresponding with his direction that shows a little arm movement with a slash like animation would be pretty cool
Thanks for playing! I did want to add a melee, and it would be easy to implement, but there just aren't enough buttons. The Game Boy Color doesn't have trigger buttons, so I can't map to those. Additionally, while each mechanic is easy to implement in a vacuum, its adding everything together cumulatively that can have an impact on performance. I had to think critically about which mechanics to cut in order to preserve smooth gameplay within the limits of the GBC.
I think the project is pretty cool and I hope you are getting a lot of love from the community! You're right the game boy color does not have enough buttons, but maybe this project has potential being turned into gba advanced game one day and be able to handle more ideas you get. But I'm just a fan who doesn't know how that coding works tbh
I have been falling in love with both Halo and old handheld games recently, and this is amazing. I can't wait for more levels to come out and eventually complete the campaign story, I'd love to have a mini-Halo to play when I can't use my PC. I'm sharing this gem.
It doesnt work after loading main menu. Clicking on player dont do anything, i can only change selected option in main menu and nothing else. I tryed pressing every button and it just dont work
Been telling everyone about this! Played through the game the other day. That little sniper mini-game was very creative! Can't wait to see the rest of the project when its ready.
Really cool! Just completed both levels on my GBC. Was very faithful to the original, and ran perfectly. I could image the original game the whole time wherever I was. Hope you can add some more music, as cool as the Halo theme is, it got a bit repetitive. Also some more weapons, maybe plasma pistol (charging) or needler (homing) as timed power ups dropped from kills could work on Gameboy mechanics? And nades of course! But great job!
Also, I am sad there wasn't the Cortana dialouge for this line in the first level

This is fantastic. Very satisfying. Great work and thank you. You revived my love of the halo franchise but I can't wait for more of this. 10/10
9 y/o Me: Mom, can I get Halo: Combat Evolved?
Mom: We already Have That game at Home
Halo: Combat Evolved at Home:
I put togther a sticker for my cart. Thought I might share.
This is badass, thank you for this!
Amazing
I FOUND A BUG if youre shooting the rifle and swap to the magnum you get a full auto magnum
That is kind of awesome, but I have fixed it in a big update that's coming out soon.
This is so incredible! When I reached Halo and the Marine said the cavalry has arrived and it really took me back. "This cave is not a natural formation" really cracked me up!
Well done!
When will the full game be released?
Hi this is SBplankton from SBplankton.
Halo on GBC are... Just gbc, but I have no outstanding toward these fine halo-fans and so am i, so i'll be able to this game describe opinions to You.
* The Music Main-menu begin the loop end over loop
* The energy Shield have No animation.
* There No weapon & ammo sign the top-left screen
* And The most at all, did nintendo, bungie (oh though No longer being with it). & 343 Industries really love this Gameboy or gameboy color.
My options, the gameplay feel like 18-20 min long and few of 10 mission on the level skip, cut and some easy, normal, hard and legendary.
If you don't believe me, ask him. (By him, I means myself). This long comment is just a Lucky day.
Love supporting stuff like this, great job.
Not sure where to post bugs but player and enemy landed in the same tile at the same time and can no longer move player.
It wont let me select any of the options on the home screen, when I press ENTER on any of the options nothing happens?
This is awesome! so keen for the rest of the development. Amazing work, mate!

We have Atari 26000, Nintendo 8bit... We just need a 16 bit demake and we will have a complete set.
Im gonna need someone to make a label for my cart now lol
Absolutely amazing game, excited to play more levels when they are out :) are you planning to add harder difficulties at any point? Would love an excuse to replay the levels already out
Love the work you're doing, if you need any help with sprites/art work let me know I can lend my hand. Cheers!
Hey Sofa. How can we support you?? I know there's a few other souls out there that would love to support the continuation of this
I second this!

Amazing work!
Thank you! Glad you enjoyed it.
This is really impressive! Keep up the great work!
Thanks for playing!
This is Halo for GBC!
Nice project!
Amazing to see this!! The art, music and gameplay all together! Halo <3
Good work! Despite the limitations of the tech being used you still get a great feel of the original material.
That is a great compliment! Thanks for playing :)
Incredible! Where can we follow you for updates?
Either here or on the GB Studio discord channel are the best places!

I really love your work here, I'm looking forward to playing through this when its finished!
so glad to be playing games like this. I never had the game boy color, but did have the big grey block game boy and it was always a blast to play.
