Memory: GBS4 Edition
🎴
Memory is a traditional pair-matching card game, also known as Concentration, Match Match, N-Spade, and Pexeso, among many other names.
I liked this game a lot as a little kid!
This single-player version uses a deck of 20 cards containing 2 or 4 of each card type. Ten matches are possible.
I developed this game so that I could learn some new features of GB Studio 4.x. You can review the source files to see how I did it.
Controls
Use the D-Pad or Arrow Keys to move the selector. Use the A Button or Z Key to flip a card. Hold the Select Button or Shift Key to review some stats.
Rules
Flip two cards to see if they match. If they match, the match is recorded and the cards remain face up. If they do not match, a miss is recorded and the cards are flipped face down again. Three mismatches in a row means the game is lost. Once all cards are matched the game is won.
The following cards make up the deck:
- 4 🌙
- 4 🌞
- 4 ✨
- 2 🪐
- 2 🌌
- 2 🌈
- 2 ⚡
Known Issues
- You should be able to press A, B, START, or SELECT to begin a new game after winning or loosing, but currently you can only press B or SELECT.

Good job.
Thanks!
Great game to play - can't wait to review the project files for ideas!
Glad you liked it!
Very fun and cute! Exactly my kind of simple game too. I very immediately set about trying to play an optimal game and get a high score… The jingle is also really good and fitting!
I also liked your write-up on the code. It’s very cool that you were able to implement most of the shuffling algorithm using GameBoy Studio’s visual scripting!
Aw thanks, and thanks double that you read the accompanying article! 😃
Very addictive game, a colorful version wouldn't be bad, the music it's perfect
High score without a photo it's not credible! XD
Thank you, and great work!
Fun game. Although I personally would have liked it to be based on time rather than lives. Congratulations!!
Mmm, that’s a cool thought…. I might be able to add that as an alternate mode. 🤔 And thanks!
It's just that with lives it cuts the pace of the game a lot. With time mode you don't cut the pace of the game whether you win or lose. Apparently I'm a good video game designer 😅😉
Yey, now I have a handheld timekiller for christmas while everybody will talk about politics I'll be playing memory! 10/10 would flip again
Awesome! :D
High Score of 28 flips!
Heck yeah! 🎉
Best score so far: 30 flips.
That’s the best I’ve heard anyone achieve so far, so you’re at the top of the stack! Apparently I should have added a high score!
