Groundskeep GB Game Concept

This is a game idea I am prototyping in GB Studio. This page outlines the idea, my current assets, and screenshots  for Hairic Lilred's 2023 #MockupJam

Groundskeep is a grass cutting adventure game for the original Gameboy. You play as Vern, who has woken up on an island overtaken by unruly greenery. Tasked by the Governor whom you find in one of the abandoned town's buildings, you are asked to take your machete and clear the grass from the large park in the center of the island and the remaining towns. 

Explore your way through a vast open park, surrounded by smaller towns, and headed at the top by the Great Tree. Your machete will get duller as you cut. Return to town to sharpen your tools and sell your finds from your journey. All kinds of valuables are scattered throughout the park for you to come across.

As you cut grass, and clear out towns, people begin to return to the island. Learn their stories, help them with their troubles, consider joining the worker's union to the dismay of the Governor. 

Each town unlocks a new ability for traversing the parkland. This includes swimming, climbing, rolling and more. You also can purchase mixtapes that you can play as you garden on your handy Gardmen cassette player.

So take your machete in hand groundskeeper. Cut grass, save the island.
