Anguna for Gameboy Advance and Nintendo DS

Anguna is a homebrew game for Gameboy Advance and Nintendo DS 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

iPhone Version in progress

I am currently working on an iPhone port of Anguna. You can follow my progress at my development blog.

DS & GBA Versions

Anguna is available for both Nintendo DS and GBA. The DS version is the same as the Gameboy Advance with the following changes:
  • The bottom screen is used for inventory, enemy info, map, etc
  • New title menu graphics
  • Miscellaneous bug fixes, minor map tweaks, etc
For those who will be playing Anguna on an emulator, I still recommend the GBA version, as the quality of GBA emulators is better than DS emulators. To play Anguna on your DS, download AngunaDS, and write it to a DS flashable card (such as an R4 or M3). These can be purchased from Electrobee or other online retailers.

Getting Anguna

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

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. After enough pestering, I finsihed the DS port. I don't have plans to port to any other systems at the moment, but donations of hardware have been known to convince me ;-)

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.
