Lunar Lancer
A downloadable game
About the Game
LUNAR LANCER is a shoot 'em up for the Nintendo Game Boy, released in 2024 to celebrate the console's 35th anniversary. The game is available as a free downloadable ROM.
How to Play
LUNAR LANCER is playable on a real Game Boy, Game Boy Color, Analogue Pocket or any compatible hardware or emulator. Just download the ROM file and check it out!
The gameplay is pretty intuitive. The only thing you need to know is how power-ups work: Collecting a power-up replenishes the weapon energy at the bottom of the screen. Press "A" to use your upgraded weapon (and deplete your weapon energy). Pressing "B" will always use your standard weapon, allowing you to save weapon energy.

I can't get over the Solar Striker feel here. It's absolutely perfect! Can't wait to get through all the levels. Thanks for building this! I can see so much attention to detail all throughout what I've played and in your screenshots.
All your games are of very high quality. Thanks for making all this for free 😎
Fantastic work, and great callback to solar striker with the name
Great Game Boy Shooter with clean multi-scrolling. Well done! Our German-language review can be found in our recorded livestream starting at 04:42:20. English subtitles are also available. Subscription to our YouTube and Twitch channel is welcome. 🙂
Very pretty! That smells like a one-page review for BrewOtaku #005 ;-)
Very nice! I already beat stage one. The game looks great, plays great, and sounds incredible! Is there a Sound Test in the game? Or, is the soundtrack available to listen to somewhere?
Thank you! Try entering the year in which the Game Boy was first released as a password.
(That Ninja Gaiden Shadow reference in track 5... 😆❤️)
Once again, outstanding music. 🙂
Thanks!
