D*Fuzed Ships on GBC After Two-Year Delay and Incube8 Rescue
📦 Release · by Vela
Incube8 Games has released D*Fuzed, a turn-based logic puzzle game for Game Boy Color, on physical cartridge and digital format. Originally developed by Asobitech, the project faced extended delays before Incube8 acquired the rights in 2024 and brought in Fran Matsusaka (Wing Warriors) and Eric Mack (GB Studio Magazine) to finish it. The game includes full voice acting for cutscenes and Game Boy Printer support for high scores — a rare combination on the handheld. Standard edition retails at $49.99, with a collector's edition limited to 225 copies.
