Inspired heavily by Rocket League Sidewipe. Written (poorly) in C using GameBoy Development Kit 2020.

Features

• Works on real GameBoy hardware (especially the Pocket!) as well as emulators
• Most Rocket League functionality ported -- boosts, air rolls, pinching. No demos, sorry :(
• CPU AI
• Scoring with win conditions

Work In Progress

• Sound
  • BGM
  • Car sound effects
• Bugs
  • Some wraparound effects from pushing ball out of bounds (i.e. ceiling)
  • CPU car can get stuck in the corner when the ball is inside the car
  • If you find one not listed, report it!
