Currently, only the demo has released, I am working hard on the full version. I have no clue if I will release the full version, so stay tuned in case I do. I also really want to have a physical release, with a box and manual. However, I lack the skills to do this, so it's not guaranteed! Also, make sure to follow me on Itch.io  for news about Pikmin: Demade and other games! I try to make a Devlog every chance I can!

Yeah, it's still being worked on!

Right now, I'm experimenting with the gameplay and stuff, trying to fine tune the maps for the Gameboy's limitations and such. I'm projecting that a finalized Impact Site and beta Forest of Hope preview will release between December 5th or 15th.

i cant pick up the engine

Thanks for finding that out! Don't worry, in (hopefully) a few weeks, a new version will come out, with even better controls, better AI, and new art! Trust me, it'll be sweet.

very good so far! One suggestion though, the 5 pikman flower only works when you have specifically 5 pikman. You cant pick it up with more than 5. Im not sure if you have the required amount set to a variable or not, but if you make it set to ‘greater than or equal to’ rather than ‘equal to’ that should fix it, unless there’s another reason you have it like that.

Thank you for finding that bug! I'll work on it right away!
