About
Nauti Buoy is a classic retro 8-bit top-down shooter game, capable of being played on the original 1989 Nintendo Game Boy.
Nauti Buoy was made during our summer break for *NUS Orbital, an Independent Software Development Project module for 1st-year computing students.
Our main motivation for this project was that we wanted to try working with the constraints past programmers had in terms of hardware such as the smaller memory size, storage size and CPU power. We also feel that it’ll be an amazing experience to be able to play our game on an old console. It is also a good learning experience as we may have to work on low powered CPUs in the future as embedded hardware is ubiquitous in our current world.
The game is fully playable on the original 1989 Nintendo Game Boy and even has a Japanese language version.
