Features:

  • Played on GB Hardware/Web browsers
  • There are no Nail Pogo and Upwards Nail Swing mechanics in this game [I'm sorry, I do not know how to script such a mechanic in the current build (beta2) of GB Studio Engine]
  • Pixel art in the style of most MS-DOS games
  • Music is loud and crappy/there is no SFX yet [I'm a pixel artist so I don't have the knowledge to make great music for this.]
  • No Geos [Currency] to collect or spend
  • No Charms/Nail Upgrades [Equip-able Power-Ups]
  • Only the early beta build is recreated to fit in a Game Boy screen
  • Enemy Goams are changed to an original bug named Weelms [Due to actor size limitations, this is inevitable]

  • Enemy Husk Guards are smaller [Due to actor size limitations and max frame limits, this is also inevitable]
  • Boss before the Ancestral Mound is replaced [Yes, this is due to actor size limitations too]
  • Enemy Elder Baldur is only an obstacle and if the player doesn't have enough soul to use Vengeful Spirit an original soul totem-like bug called Soul Seeds will be near their area

  • Soul meter [Soul Vessel] and Health [Masks] are limited [This is due to frame limitations and to simulate the illusion of a harder game]
  • Bosses Brooding Mawlek, Vengefly King and Gruz Mother have limited attack patterns and a remade [demade lol] Health pools
  • Option to disable music. Just interact with the "King's Idol" near ElderBug and boom! The annoying music is gone!

how did you make them more cute???

Oh my God! I can play hollow knight on the website newgrounds

i cant pass the first level lol

Also a good port of the game Hollow Knight on the Game Boy Color, but that's why the controls are different in this game, we are all used to playing in old games that A is a jump, and B is an attack, and everything is the other way around!

Elv13s responds:

The engine at that time was a Lil confused about the control scheme, it has been changed in the subsequent updates, but sadly I haven't got the time to implement it here since this is made in the older versions of the engine.

Pretty alright, didn't get to far but far enough to know that this game doesn't really have any sound effects or music (although it make sense why)... but that title screen music... please... fix it...... or remove it.... it hurts my ears :(.
