Kid Icarus - Of Myths and Monsters

Screenshots1 / 3

A pixelated monochrome Game Boy gameplay scene shows a small humanoid character standing on a stone platform in the center of a gray brick maze. Two floating round enemies with black pupils hover in the upper portion of the screen, one slightly left of center and one on the right side. Vertical chains or curtains hang from two pillars at the top corners. A textured brick wall structure occupies the right side of the screen, and various stone platforms form the level's architecture throughout. The sprite art uses limited detail with black outlines against the gray background.
