Grimace's Birthday Developer Gumpy Function has just released a new Game Boy game called Unearthed.
“Set in a future where humanity has nearly exhausted Earth’s resources, UNEARTHED invites you on an interstellar journey with Max – a husband, father, and employee of the alien mining giant “Deep Space Mineral Retrieval.” says the game's itch.io page.
“Pilot your DSMR-issued Mech to delve into the depths of planets, navigate perilous caverns, and solve a multitude of puzzles to collect your quota of mineral resources and provide for your loving family on Earth.”
Unearthed takes you on a “sci-fi adventure” where each dig “brings you closer to uncovering the truth buried beneath alien soil.”
Gumpy Function handled the game concept, led the game design and level design, while Ben Jelter is responsible for the art, script, dialogue, game design and programming. Unearthed has already won the GBCOMPO21 Game Jam.
You can download the ROM here or get a physical copy of the game from Limited edition.
Gumpy Function recently made news thanks to a Game Boy collaboration with Australian comedian Tommy Dassalo.
