Title
The monochrome minimalism of the GameBoy can actually be very charming. There's an economy of design in these games that you don't really see anywhere anymore. Cave Noire is like a Mystery Dungeon game made almost pictographic. There's a fan translation (it was a Japan-only release), but it seems almost redundant (thank you to the translators though). It breaks down the roguelike "infinite dungeon" into mini-dungeons with different objectives, and you can swap between them whenever. It's a perfect bite-sized dungeon crawler for a fifteen-minute session, and losing never stings much because of how quick each run is. Although there is a level of mastery to this, it probably won't be long before you feel like you've learned every trick the game has, but it's still a fun title to revisit every once in a while.

Title
Fun little roguelike that gets pretty challenging later on. Feels more like an appstore game than something you'd imagine would be on a gameboy.
