Pirate Gameboy DDR? Please!
A handheld version of a DDR style game for my Gameboy in a beautiful new cartridge. Game plays like an overworld Pokemon style movement with a lot of exploration. The battles are music in nature with falling notes you'll press in time with the song.
Very enjoyable and beautiful artwork.

If you love old school Game Boy exploration games this is for you! Love the world and the cheeky references and jokes. It’s a pirate rhythm game…what else is there to say? It’s amazing

Great game
I picked up **Chantey** for the ModRetro Chromatic and it has a really nice old-school charm to it. It feels like the kind of game that fits perfectly on a retro handheld: easy to start, fun to play in short sessions, and with a simple but addictive style that keeps you coming back. The controls feel responsive, and the whole experience has that classic portable-game feeling that works really well on the Chromatic.
On the Chromatic’s screen, Chantey looks clean, colorful, and full of personality. The pixel art has a lot of charm, and everything is easy to see while playing, which makes the game feel smooth and comfortable. It’s not trying to be overly complicated, and that’s part of what makes it enjoyable. If you like retro games with a fun, straightforward feel and a nice visual style, Chantey is a great little addition to the collection.
