Press release:
Barcelona, Spain –September 15, 2021–
The Spain-based indie games developer Greenboy Games (which is a one-man studio) are today very excited and delight to announce that they are going to launch a Kickstarter campaign for their upcoming retro-like fantasy adventure game “The Shapeshifter 2” on October 1st, 2021!

And not only that, Greenboy Games has also just announced that they have released a brand-new trailer for “The Shapeshifter 2” as well (you can watch the said trailer further down the page). So, be sure to check that one out!

‘The Shapeshifter 2’ is an Old-School Adventure game, and this time the adventure takes place in the elven world. The main actor has the power to become the animal that he touches to save the elven world from the wizard’s spell: Fly, swim, croak, cackle, bray, roar, growl, meow, among other curious skills.

The Shapeshifter 2, is the first and only Game Boy game that requires 2 cartridges to play, and not due to lack of space! The game will contain never-before-seen innovative gameplay mechanics that will be revealed soon.

The game will be fully compatible with all Game Boy, Game Boy Color, and Game Boy Advance handhelds. This includes the Analogue portable system and other Game Boy compatible devices.
