Post-JAM

known issues

  • [5hrs before release] The boss can run off screen, this is a buffer overflow error where the characters position glitches to a off-screen position.
    • [temp-fix 2hrs before release] because the player is buggy at a higher speed and issuing a MoveTo call, the position is thrown out of whack. Along with the previous bug the collision detection stops working properly.  A fix has been rolled out to at least make the game completable at all times.
    • A fix sadly cannot be made for the current setup without changing the combat system/style.
  • [+7hrs post release] The original Gameboy has some issues with a palette swap system, blanking the screen in the intro. A patch is being worked on.

Greetings PSPiso,

we hope you doing great. I am Areeba Malik (aka Titania) from the BrewOtaku-Team, we are launching our first homebrew gaming magazine soon. We loved your work and we have mentioned your game "Closet Monsters” in our very first issue.

Please share your contact details if you would like to have a digital copy of our magazine. As we intend to sell the magazine at a very affordable price, you would need to keep it confidential for you only, of course you would get a free copy.

We look forward to hearing from you soon.

Kind regards

Areeba Malik (Titania)
