Default Gameboy Styled Games
Greetings,

I would like to discover more iOS games inspired by or designed to emulate the old Gameboy titles. The following are some that I am aware of. Please let me know if you are aware of any others that are decent. Just to be clear, I am looking for amber or grayscale pixel art games only, not retro games in general. (1-Bit Ninja appears as an exception because it has very clear Gameboy influence despite the use of color) Thanks!

I was really looking forward to Evil Robot and Pixelmania, but it appears that they have been pulled from the AppStore.

Agreed. I was trying to remember the name of this one.

Sorry, I gotta bust out the appinfo since I'm not sure how to insert images (that aren't hotlinked and destined to vanish).

I absolutely love the color version of this. I thought about listing the original but it is straight black-and-white - but I suppose it deserves an honorable mention.

That's because Pixelmania's been pulled and the Evil Robot you tried to get has also been pulled. It was just re-released under a different account.
