8 Bitty Games is a series of games developed for the original Game Boy System, both as a design experiment and a learning endeavor. Designing and developing games for such a technologically limited platform is both fun and rewarding, and I'd like to share with you the fruits of my labor.

There are currently 7 games released for you to play. You can play them in your browser on their individual webpages, or download them from itch.io to play in an emulator or flash onto a real Game Boy cartridge.
