Wonkie Guy is a simple side-scrolling platform game. It is built on top of the author's own engine.

It was a contest entry to the GBAX 2003 Coding Competition (1st place).

User guide

Toss your head to launch an attack. Be sure to collect your head after you toss it, you only have a limited amount of time to get your head back before you die. The amount of time you have remaining is shown in the top-right corner of the screen, named the headless meter.

Your health meter is denoted by the 5 hearts next to the headless meter. When your health is depleted, you will die and have to start at the beginning of the level.

If you happen to throw your head down the pit, you will eventually die since you can no longer collect your head. You might as well collect as many gems on the screen while you can.

A portal is at the end of each level. If you lose your head near the end of the level, don't assume that you can make a run for the portal. You must have your head to proceed.

Note: The game saves at the beginning of each level. So, if you make it to a new level, you may start from that level once you turn your GBA back on. To erase the save, press L and R simultaneously at the title screen.
