PLAGUED: JALONSO’S RETRO-MEETS-BOSCH FAUX GAME BOY GAME
Nearly every entry in the latest weekly-challenge from artist-forum PixelJoint (the site housing the previously linked Katamari meets Colossus) — which celebrated the 20th anniversary of the Game Boy with by restricting participants to the original GB’s four-color palette — has something to offer, but jalonso’s Plagued seems the clear shoe-in.
The faux-game’s a cute RPG based on Hieronymus Bosch’s renowned triptych ‘Garden of Earthly Delights‘ (you can see the carved out man battle card at middle-left) — as ripe and perfectly surreal a world for games to visit as any I’ve ever seen.
