Sofia the Witch Curse of the Monster Moon - Demo
Sofia the Witch Curse of the Monster Moon
For Gameboy Color and Analog Pocket
Pre-Orders of the full game available from Bitmap Soft.
STORY
Every 500 years the stars align with the lunar eclipse creating the fabled Monster Moon. The moon turns green and Curses the land turning the animals into MONSTERS.
It's up to you to save all your friends and remove the Curse of the Monster Moon.
THE GAME
You play as Sofia, a plucky little witch that will do whatever she can to save her friends from their terrible curse.
You have 2 spells at the ready.
When Sofia is Red use the Transmogrification spell. It will transform monsters back into your friends.
When Sofia is Blue use the Bubble Bounce spell. It allows you to create a bubble to bounce off of.
Explore the world of Luna Haven and the 4 different lands within it.
Forest Land
Explore the dark woods of Forest Land. There are tall trees and caves to explore here.
Water Land
Water and witches don't mix. You'll have to watch your step as you traverse over the giant lily pads.
Desert Land
Hot and dry, filled with hidden catacombs and quicksand. Keep on your toes here.
Cloud Land
High up where it's windy and wet. There are updrafts and giant bouncy mushrooms to help you get around here.
Moonwell
The sacred moonwell is an ancient and tranquil place. Acquiring all 4 moonstones may reveal its secrets.
Mini Games
Along your journey you may come across some unique NPC's that will give you a task to complete. Hop on your broom and try to complete those tasks. If you're successful you may get something special.
Fishing
Every good game needs a fishing mini game, if only you can find the secret fishing hole.
There are so many more things to do in Sofia the Witch. It's a land full of secret areas, hidden mini games, hidden bosses, and a variety of unique residents.
In the full version of the game, there are 4 large bosses, 1 at the end of each land. Hidden within each of the 4 lands there is also a secret hidden boss. If you can find and defeat all 4 of them you might unlock something cool. There are also 6 different endings. The one you get depends on how many friends you've changed back and how many secrets you've found.
One last thing, if you've made it this far. The game is speedrunner friendly. On the title screen hit Select when starting a new game, and select speedrun mode. This will allow you skip the tutorial of getting your wand and learning your spells. In the full game you can skip cut scenes too.
I hope you have as much fun playing it as I did making it.

Is the full version of the rom going to be available to purchase on itch
I too would like to know this! Would absolutely love the option to buy the rom instead of having to get the physical cart
It should be after we have the physical version out there. I know not everyone wants to or has the ability to play off a cartridge.
top notch pixel art and very lovely executed beginning of the story :)

WHY IS THE GB/SGB WARNING!!!
That warning should only be showing up if you try to play the game on a regular gameboy. The game wasn't designed visually to run on it. Just about all the backgrounds would look terrible.
The Super Gameboy should work fine as far as I know, I unfortunately do not have one to test with.
Super Game Boy is not GB Color compatible, so it is really a regular GB with borders.
Excellent demo, the aesthetics of the game are beautiful, the music matches perfectly, I will be attentive to future updates and the full game!
Made a video
Thank you so much for making a video. I love seeing how people play game. It lets me see where I can tweak some of the difficulty too.
Happy we could help you with the video and yeah it's a lot different to see someone else play your game compared to how you would play it.
My kids and I loved this demo, and we can't wait to play the full game! Cute sprites, lovely music, and fun gameplay! It's a family-friendly game that can still present a challenge, and has a lot of replay value to find hidden areas. Going to get a cart as soon as it comes out..
Thanks again for streaming it on your twitch channel it was a blast watching you play.
Fully agree. I played together with my son and he loves the game!
That's amazing to hear. Thank you .
Can't wait to play this new demo! The graphics look so colorful and smooth
I loved the demo, the art is beautiful, the music is charismatic. The level design is consistent, exploring its magic mechanics very well.
I got a great "Super Mario Land 2" vibe, and the details like petting the cat or sleeping in bed add a neat touch.
The game certainly has great potential. Nice work!
Lovely demo! Super cute graphics, fun gameplay and the music is so good!
I played 2 levels and loved it, I downloaded the rom to try it on my Anbernic as well, can't wait to play the full game :)
i like the game but the pc controls is pretty bad.
