Original Game: Hold Off Red by Matt Thorson

Extra Info
I decided to make Hold Off Red into a nice little GameBoy Game. There are only a couple cases where I've broken the specs of emulating one, too:
-Enemy Sprites and Bullets rotate instead of adding new images
-Didn't follow the maximum of 10 sprites per scanline spec

If enough people like this demake, then I'll consider polishing it up a lot and include those fixes, and create a more emulator-esque environment, and include green screen graphics (result of non-backlit GameBoy).

Oh my god, this game could out do Pokemon Red, Super Mario Land, and Tetris if this was on the gameboy for reals. Awesome game.

Really great game, once again. You always seem to have great ideas for games and this theme wasn't a challenge for you. :P Thanks for this entry!

Nice one tater!. I like the graphics and the quicker gameplay more then the original. I'm only crit is that the learning curve is hard. At a point, you get an upgrade and then the next stage is like 3 times harder than the last one haha.

Don't know if this is a glitch or not , but an enemy moved into a place that I couldn't shoot and it rant into me lol. Got to wave 7!

How many waves are there?

It isn't a glitch, it's actually intentional. I wanted it to be a fairly unfair version of the original, since I always felt that GameBoy games had a lot of cheap-kill things.
The number of waves is infinite. You cannot win. :]
