[Fall from Space]

This game just oozes old school charm. I gotta know how did you pull off the rain effect? I can't wait for the full game.

JoelJGames responds:

Thanks Jake! The rain was nothing clever, I did it the long way, a few different frames for a rain drop, diagonal line, longer diagonal line, splash, and animated them by hand in the meta sprite editor as a sprite with a huge canvas (making sure not to exceed the Gameboys sprite limits on a horizontal row). Then dotted a few of these giant sprites about the levels. (I also wrapped them in an if statement so it doesn't always rain).
