It's Luigi Mansion as a Game Boy game! This is what the game might have been like if it had come out during the 8 bit era. 

This game was created for the GB Compo 2025 with ZGB Engine.. Works in browser but best experience is downloading the rom and using an emulator.

Features

This is tight, I really wish this was a full game but tight nonetheless. Hey I have a cartoon brand maybe we can work together to make a game like this with my IP. I have an indie I'd love to show you for the NES if you wanna se it.  

very cute, havnt played much of the original but it does have a ghostbuster vibe. 

Made a video

Seems to be running at turbo speed in the browser version right now, though the ROM is fine.

this is a great interpretation of the core mechanics and really fun to play through. I couldn’t figure out how to trigger the boss encounter though. She just stayed in the upper right corner facing away and didn’t respond to the light or vacuum. She was still able to hurt me though when I got too close. 

You have to pull the curtains off the windows just like the real game! Thank you!
