Hungry Knight GameBoy

Hungry Knight GameBoy is an unofficial fan demake of Team Cherry’s original Hungry Knight created for Ludum Dare 27. Remade with GB Studio for the Game Boy Color aesthetic, it captures a retro survival challenge where hunger and combat intertwine.

SURVIVE THE HUNGER IN HUNGRY KNIGHT GAMEBOY

In Hungry Knight GameBoy, your task is to keep your knight alive by defeating enemies and consuming cherries before your hunger meter runs out. Every ten seconds, you must consume a cherry—fail to do so and you die. Enemies drop cherries when defeated, so managing timing, movement, and offense is crucial. As a demake, it retains the top-down action style of the original but adapts it to retro Game Boy hardware limitations.

Game Controls

• WASD / Arrow keys – Move character
• X / Ctrl / K – Attack or cancel
• Z / Alt / J – Dash or confirm
• Enter / Start – Pause, menu, or dialog skip

Tips & Tricks

• Prioritize defeating weaker enemies early to secure cherries before your hunger timer runs too low.
• Don’t wander aimlessly — always keep an eye on your hunger meter and plan paths toward potential cherry drops.
• Use dashes strategically to dodge enemy attacks or reach cherries fast.
• Memorize enemy spawn patterns to predict where cherries might appear.
