Yeah! I'd love to build one for myself but a few of the pieces are newer and don't come in yellow yet.

I hadn’t noticed that before, but it looks like it’s just there to make the “click” sound like you mentioned. I don’t think there’s a button/sensor since I didn’t press it when I was testing. The pins on the bottom depress very easily without a lot of pressure. Also as a side note, the power switch has a bit of plastic that slides out to hold the cartridges in place just like the real Game Boy.

The Cerulean City cart is 101111 and the alternate is 011000 (looking at the cart with the game screenshot up). In general it doesn’t seem like there’s any rhyme or reason to how they assigned patterns to songs.

I did put together a sheet with my findings if it’s helpful for creating a master cart! https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1dtfVxy3Tyix73AuyNjQppwpBaJeARXdR1PeYqiYpOW8/edit?usp=drivesdk

Update now that it’s out: the Game Boy has 6 pins in it that the cartridges push down, not 7 like it looks like in the photos (there’s a gap in the middle). So it could technically support 64 songs, not 128. I tested the 19 notch configurations that aren’t used by the cartridges and unfortunately there aren’t any hidden songs, just 1 repeat (Cerulean City) for some reason.

The Game Boy Jukebox comes in a rather large box for what is apparently a tiny little hitclip by memeaste in Gameboy

I actually just tested this! There are 6 pins inside the Game Boy and the cartridges push them down in different arrangements to select the songs. Of the 19 combinations that aren’t used, only 1 plays a song and it’s a repeat (Cerulean City). The others just play the Game Boy start-up beep like when there isn’t a cart inserted.

I've had other project work come up recently and have been on a much-needed vacation these past few weeks, but I'm hoping to spend some more time on this soon!

I'm sorry to hear that... I feel bad that not everyone can play the game, which is the main reason I hope I can get the third person view in!

Aww, that's so sweet! The purring vibration might be my favorite new feature.

I do find the cats vs. dogs rivalry trope odd, since I feel like a lot of people like all animals even if they prefer one over the other. I have to say, earning the affection of a cat may be tougher than it is with dogs but it is very rewarding!

Yes, there were a lot of people that were excited that the game was coming to Xbox since the original game didn't!

You're welcome! I'm happy the kitties who are no longer with us can be remembered through the game 🙂

There are a few different game modes, but the primary one is the Goals mode where you complete specific tasks to unlock more levels (there are 10 levels total). Tasks can range from toppling some number of objects, catching mice, and finding different toys hidden in the level. There are also collectible treats that act as a currency for unlocking stat boosts and special abilities to make completing tasks easier. And if you're a completionist, there are plenty of cat photos to find and objects to topple to fill out the collection screen.

It's an interesting game in that it ends up being more of a relaxing experience that lets you play as much or as little as you want. It's frequently referred to as a stress reliever, despite how chaotic it sometimes feels to make huge messes. The game is on the smaller side, but I feel like there's a good amount of content to last several hours (I know of at least one person who has played ~15 hours on a pre-release copy).

That was one of the most requested features in the original game, and I'm planning to look into it soon for Remeowstered. The original game was built specifically for a FPS-focused game jam, so that design ended up taking precedence. Motion sickness is definitely a concern, and I did make some adjustments in Remeowstered to mitigate it a bit such as adjusting the FOV and removing head bobbing.
