Imagine playing Minecraft on the Game Boy back in the day. A developer has created a Minecraft demake for the Game Boy called Minecraft Game Boy Edition, also dubbed Microcraft.
It features an incredible soundtrack from Bitcrushed and nostalgic 8-bit visuals.
- Controls: Simple, with A for using items and B for placing blocks.
- Inventory: Extensive array of items to place around your world.
- Progression: While survival mode is still being developed, it’s already fun to explore.
How To Play
See the original article for a link to Psyco’s itch.io page.
Which games do you think deserve the demake treatment?
That looks exactly like Notch’s post-buyout Ludum Dare game: Minicraft.

Edit: thanks autocorrectIn my opinion a gba demake would be more interesting. That thing can do semi good 3d graphics. Theres a james bond game on it that is extremely impressive and someone made a port of a few tomb raider levels. Seeing the tomb raider port i also thought if you could have 3d pokemon battles on it. Not amazing ones but i bet you could render two boxy pokemons on it. But minecraft is just blocks so it should work imo.
this is overhead view 2D with no scrolling, just a single page of water vs dirt squares that you can swap. if the character steps into water then you just see his head. thats about it. takes a minute to calculate that grid for no obvious reason. no height, just flat.
