Original story:

Bertil Hörberg, creator of the 3DS (and now Wii U) platformer Gunman Clive recently posted an update about a surprising side project.

Hörberg, for fun, decided to bring his game to Game Boy and Game Boy Color – a handheld console that was discontinued in 2003. It's not a port of the full game, but rather a demo port of the first level.

Our Take
It's a weird, but charming side project, and one totally in line with the tone of the game. It feels like a classic Game Boy platformer to begin with.
