GRIMLIGHT v1.4 — The Molten Choir

Choose a tag to compare

@retroromrunner retroromrunner released this 22 Oct 23:54

GRIMLIGHT: The Hollow Bell is complete — and the manor has doubled in size.

30 rooms across 6 chapters. Beyond the Deep Bell, two whole new chapters wait: the Ember Deep and the Molten Choir, in rust, ember, and acid-green.

New dangers and tools:

  • Wardens with a killing gaze — cross only behind cover
  • Pushable bone slabs — footing, shields, and doorstops
  • Blood, lava, and acid rivers, each crossed by its own rule
  • Bell portals that ring you across the room, and crumbling floors that bear you exactly once
  • Passcodes on every room intro — jump straight back to any room (the full list is in CODES.md in the repo)
  • New music for the new chapters

Download grimlight-v14.gba below and play it in any Game Boy Advance emulator (mGBA recommended), or on real hardware with a flash cart. Every step you take, the haunting takes one too.

The Deep Bell update.

  • Five new rooms (10–14) in a new fourth chapter, THE DEEP BELL: The Airlock, The Herding, The Weaver's Clock, The Four Seals, and The Deep Bell.
  • Wraiths are now immortal and herdable — they block paths and can hold pressure plates down.
  • The exit fanfare now sounds when a room is escaped.
  • Level 3 rebuilt as a one-flask oil maze; Level 8's gate bypass sealed.
  • All 14 rooms verified solvable end-to-end against the real game code (806 moves, score 6910, zero deaths).

Download grimlight-v13.gba and open it in any GBA emulator (mGBA recommended) or on real hardware via flash cart.
