(Game Boy Advance) Quokka Wokka

QUOKKA WOKKA is a single-screen arcade style platformer for the Game Boy Advance, created for GBAJAM2024. Ten screens of leaf-eating baby-throwing action for children aged 3 to 127

How to play: load the rom into your GBA emulator or console

• Use the DPAD to move Quokka left and right. 
• Press A to jump, you can even jump through platforms!
• Press B to throw a Quokka baby! Real Quokkas will toss their babies at predators - but in this game  your babies will stun the dangerous enemies
• Walk into a stunned enemy to kick them high into the air - they might even stun another enemy too! When they land they'll turn into  delicious fruit
• Try eating all the small leaves on a level to see what happens!

Quokka Wokka is my first GBA game, intentionally simple while I learnt how to develop for the machine. I wanted to create an easy to pick-up and play arcade style game in the style of Bubble Bobble, Rodland or Rainbow Islands. It's not going to be much of a challenge for most players, but playing to collect all letter bonuses on each level should be a little tricky. Let me know if you have suggestions for a longer version. More enemy types? Different attacks? Time limits?
