Help Grimace find his missing friends in time to blow the candles out, and collect enough birthday shakes for his guests along the way. Immerse yourself in Grimace’s world as he races around classic McDonald’s birthday scenes to find his pals all in a quest to save his birthday!

What you guys did in that short amount of time is crazy! Nicely done

This is wonderful, that McDonalds asked you to make a new GameBoy Color game in 2023. I am aware it was made in GB Studio, are you able to tell us how long it took to create the game? Thank you.

Thanks for checking it out! We only had 7 weeks to deliver the build and we uploaded several versions since, with bug fixes.

That's definitely a tight schedule, You guys did a excellent job.

where's the download?

We can't officially release a ROM unfortunately, but you can find it on Internet Archive ;)

Latest version in 1.7

My favorite part is that it’s now canon that Grimace, Birdie, and Hamburgler are basically loitering at McDonalds and do crime together

Is there a .gbc file available? Would love to play/test it in our emulator...

I have seen files floating around the internet for the game. If you find a gb file just rename it, should work.

Found it. Tested it... Works great in Argon!

There should be a 1.4 out there, archived on the internet, if you wanted to test that as well, but otherwise, it should function the same.

There IS!  Here's the link, and I'll try to port it to other consoles.
