A downloadable game

Downwell GBA is a demake of the indie game Downwell by Ojiro Fumoto as a GBA rom. It was written in C with a custom GBA library based on the contents of https://www.coranac.com/tonc/text/.

Downwell GBA is currently still in development, with the goal of making gameplay as close to the original game as possible. Once I release my work, it will be free (as I don't own the trademark or copyrights to Downwell). This project is primarily a personal exercise, as well as a portfolio piece.

Hello! Any update on this? I would love to have this demake on my handheld emulator. One of my favorite games of all time.

Hello the download is on github and gamebrew but it does not have levels or upgrades. Only the basic concept.
