Anguna for Gameboy Advance

Anguna is a Gameboy Advance homebrew game created by Nathan Tolbert, featuring art by Chris Hildenbrand (SpriteAttack).

It is a short but exciting action-adventure game, reminiscent of the original Legend of Zelda.
Anguna includes:

  • 5 dungeons and a large overworld to explore
  • Multiple weapons and items including: a sword, bow & arrows, bear traps, dynamite, lantern, magic boots, and more
  • Many hidden rooms, secrets, and powerups
  • Lots of interesting enemies and boss monsters

Getting Anguna

Anguna is available as a free download. To play it, you will either need to play it on a gameboy advance emulator, such as Visual Boy Advance, or write it to a writable gameboy cartridge. Alternatively, you can download a windows installer from here which includes everything you need to play Anguna on windows.

For those that are interested in obtaining a physical cartridge of Anguna to play on their Gameboy Advance, please contact me, and for the price of the writable cartridge (which varies, but looks like right now between $10 and $15 US dollars, depending on what I can find available) plus shipping, I will write it to a cartridge and send it to you.

Contest is finished

To promote Anguna, I was running a contest to see who the first person would be to find all of the hidden powerups in the game. For more information, or contest results, see

Anguna Tips, Strategies, and getting started

Anguna is an older-style adventure game, which encourages exploration, and doesn't hold your hand and tell you where to go at every step of the way. For those who would like some help with playing Anguna:

Ports

A few people have asked about porting Anguna to other systems (notably DS). After enough pestering, I've decided to go ahead and start porting it. Thank you to Electrobee for providing DS homebrew equipment for testing. What WOULD come in handy is a copy of the no$gba debugger, which, unfortunately, is unavailable as its author has seemingly disappeared. If anyone has a legal copy they'd like to sell or donate, please let me know!

Also, if anyone is interested in porting Anguna themselves to another system, I'd be more than happy to provide help, code, graphics and level resources, etc. Just send me an email.
