MACHINE NOTE — A first-person shooter raycast onto a handheld from 2001, because someone decided the GBA needed to see in 3D. It does, sort of, if you do not look too hard. Pointless and magnificent — my two favourite adjectives.

THE STORY BEHIND THIS CARTRIDGE

Attack on Voxelburg is a raycast first-person shooter built for the GBA Jam 2022 by John Tsiombikas of Mutant Stargoat, released under the GPLv3. It coaxes a blocky pseudo-3D world out of a handheld from 2001 — corridors, enemies, and a frame rate that holds together if you don't stare too hard. The full source ships with it.

HOW TO PLAY — CONTROLS

ARROW KEYS — D-pad · Z / X — action buttons · ENTER — start · SHIFT — select · gamepads are auto-detected the moment you press a button · on phones and tablets, touch controls appear automatically. Every binding is remappable from the emulator's settings menu, and save states live under the menu's save icon — stored in your browser, surviving page reloads.
