When I bought a TrimUI handheld and installed NextUI on it, Gameboy Studio came to mind to have another look sinds it's been quite awhile. I was pleasantly surprised that in the meantime there were over +1300 games on Itch.io!

It was going to be a hassle to try out all the games and manually copy them onto the device, so I came up with the idea to create an app to seamlessly allow people to browser all the "Made with Gameboy Studio" games from the comfort of the app, even with support for downloading bought games!

Every game shows a handy QR-code to allow a gamer to visit the page of the developer to make it easier to buy the game if they like it.

I've been having a blast exploring and discovering new indie games. ❤️

This marks the 14th release and iteration of this pak!
It's grown a lot over the past weeks and improved thanks to feedback, bug reports and ideas from the community!

Even though Itch.io is a wild west to interface against, I think the Pak does a tremendous job to make it easy for users to be able to download and play games made with Gameboy Studio!

Prominent features:
- Handle ZIP files

- Download Paid games by providing an API key
- Fetch coverbox-art for each games
