We've mainly talked about physical and console. If you would like one, I would recommend e-mailing them to demonstrate that it is something consumers would like.
Ran into an annoying bug (on the full game) - after I collected the missing page, it didn’t appear in my inventory. I couldn’t progress, now I think I have to start over.
:(
I also ran into the two other bugs mentioned, fragmented boss during the fight and killing roots counting twice.
Would also be nice if the mushroom total appeared on the inventory screen so I didn’t have to navigate to the mushroom and click on it every time to get the total.
Thanks for reaching out - we're looking into these. Both the QA folks at Mega Cat and myself have not seen these bugs appear in multiple playthroughs of the latest versions, so future editions of the game are looking good to go!
I didn't have the issue with the missing page once I started over, and luckily it was much faster to get to that point a second time 'round. I did see the fragmented first boss but it didn't affect gameplay, only visuals. At the Manor now and enjoying it so far!
One other thing I've noticed is that viewing the inventory screen can reset the state of the screen a bit, like enemy positions reset and chopped kudzu reappears when you come back to the level from the map or inventory. Though maybe it just grows back while you're not looking ;)
Oh that's good to know then about the page. The fragmenting boss is sadly a limitation of the version of the engine that Kudzu was built in - it's as stable as we can get it (if I try anything else it splits into left and right halves instead of front and back halves.) There weren't "big sprites" until later versions of GB Studio. Likewise, enemy positions reset because the pause menu is a separate scene (the only way to do it at this level) so you're reloading the scene every time. To keep all the enemies in their same positions with the tools I have would require A LOT of extra variables that Game Boy roms don't have. It's all this little stuff that I know folks expect because Link's Awakening and other commercial 90's games have, but they were dealing with different tools/capabilities (coding with highly efficient languages for speaking directly to GB hardware), and it goes to show you how much actually goes into these games!
As a digital Kickstarter backer I have been enjoying this game so far. It's a bit rough around the edges but it's a fun experience.
I did find a method where you can get credit twice for killing a single boss door kudzu root in the first area. I only mention it because that can allow you to skip sections of the game and wanted to make sure it wasn't intended.
Hey I actually had a similar bug to this where during Solidago's Boss fight it happened on his final hitpoint. It caused his defeat dialog sequence to loop twice, and then I didn't get the proceeding cutscene where the screen shakes and you're directed towards the mountain gate. I don't know if it's game breaking because I reset instead of trying to find out, but figured I should bring it up regardless. I've been recording my playthrough for the video I've been working on so I actually have footage of it happening, which you can see here:
I would like to support/purchase the ROM for your game, I do not have a need for the physical cart though. Will there be an option to purchase a full version of the game in digital form when it's released?
Please stay tuned to my publisher's website (Mega Cat Studios), as any digital versions will likely be done through them. They're also planning a Nintendo Switch version https://megacatstudios.com/pages/kudzu

Thanks for sharing - I didn't even know they did this!
How can I get the Full Release (Rom) Only Version for this game?
We've discussed it with the publisher, but it's ultimately their call whether to make the rom available, so we don't have any news on that right now.
I hope french so. Wait and see answer
Hi! That's something that would be decided on the publisher side.
Thank you for your answer.
I sent a mail to 8bitlegit. They said to see with you for translation in french...We will see. Best wishes
Julien
Hello,
I'm very interested by kudzu on switch.
I would like to know if the game will be traduced in french soon.
Thank you.
Julien
it's probably gonna be in the universal language English maybe French but at least you got English which everyone knows hopefully
I know this has been asked, even within like the past 24 hours, but I'm hoping for a better answer.
The rom is not available anywhere (?)
Please reach out to Mega Cat Studios regarding sales of a ROM version. Due to my publishing deal, I cannot directly sell ROMs of the game on itch.
Bad deal for gamers who are not collectors :( hope it was a good deal for you though.
will the full Gameboy rom be available for sale?
I would check Mega Cat Studios' website - that would be their call as the publisher: https://megacatstudios.com/collections/handhelds/products/kudzu
I had already checked. No rom is available for sale at Mega Cat Studios' website. That's why I asked if one will be.
Unfortunately, that is not my decision to make, as they are the ones who can choose how to sell the game.
We've mainly talked about physical and console. If you would like one, I would recommend e-mailing them to demonstrate that it is something consumers would like.
Will there be or is there a digital version of the GB rom?
That would be handled by the publisher, Mega Cat Studios. See their page here: https://megacatstudios.com/collections/handhelds/products/kudzu
Nintendo Switch Version ???.
its for retro handhelds
It came out on Nintendo Switch today: https://www.nintendo.com/us/store/products/kudzu-switch/

Nicely done!

Thanks for reporting the bug. We looked and decided to leave it as a speedrun strat.
