Oblique Strategies GB

A downloadable game

Oblique Strategies is a deck of cards designed to help artists break
up an art block. Each of the 100+ cards contain a possible action to
take or a new way of thinking about a creative problem. They were
created by artists Brian Eno and Peter Schmidt in the 70s and have
been updated with various new editions over the years.

This is a port of that deck of cards for Game Boy, for some reason.

It was made by me, Nicky Flowers, as a way to learn how GB Studio
works. Turns out it works pretty well! I boot up the ROM on my DMG
when I get stuck working on music or coding or really anything where
I'm creating stuff. I hope you might find it useful too!

Also available for download is a version for Analogue Pocket
systems!! Wowee!!! 

I was tempted to add a cool chiptune soundtrack but I found it to be
distracting when I was working on something with audio. That'll just
have to wait for my next homebrew software >:)

I'm not officially associated with Brian Eno or anything (that would
be cool lol), but if you want the real thing, you can get it directly
from him! I don't think my version has all the cards this 5th edition
printing does. https://www.enoshop.co.uk/product/oblique-strategies?

Incredibly creative use of GB Studio! I use a self made Oblique
Strategies deck AND GAME BOYS  in my creative process, so this is
like the perfect intersection for me.
