🕑 Added 2017-09-03 13:32:33 +0000 UTC This is a Game Boy homebrew game written from scratch by Dr. Ludos. You can find his game on GameJolt too -https://gamejolt.com/games/sheepitup/267335
With the permission of the author, we are able to distribute this game now to any RetroArch user! You can download it with our Content Downloader.
"It's a simple one-button game where a sheep has to climb up by jumping and hanging himself to flying velcro straps. The concept is simple, but the game rapidly gets quite challenging!"
The game is open source too. It was written in C and compiled with the GBSDK. Its source code can be found here -

The video will explain how to download the game, and how to run it. You can run this game with any reasonably compatible Game Boy emulator. Shown in the video is Gambatte running the game with the CRT-Royale shader.

It would be cool to have some more open source homebrew games in the content downloader. There's also a simcity clone for gbc: <a href="https://github.com/AntonioND/ucity" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">https://github.com/AntonioND/ucity</a> <br>And a promising platformer/puzzle for NES: <a href="https://github.com/NovaSquirrel/NovaTheSquirrel" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">https://github.com/NovaSquirrel/NovaTheSquirrel</a><br>Also what about Freedoom for the PrBoom engine? <a href="https://freedoom.github.io/" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">https://freedoom.github.io/</a><br>I don't think you even need the author's permission to include open source games, specially considering that there's already way less permissive content available in there, it would seem weird to be worried about permissions with the ones that actually are openly free as in freedom.

This is cool, as someone who's dabbled with GBDK, whats the homebrew content policy on the content downloader, can anyone submit their homebrew roms (assuming they made it / own rights of course)? I'm not sure my stuff is up to scratch, but curious for the future.
