About this game

Grub Glide is a one-button flying score game for Game Boy. Your grub stays near the left side while rings approach from the right. Pass through the openings to add points; missing a ring or dropping too far ends the attempt. The score and best score appear along the top of the screen.

Press X, mapped to Game Boy A, at the title. The playfield then shows HOLD A TO FLY: hold X to gain height and release it to drop. There is no horizontal steering to learn. Watch the next ring and make small changes to your height instead of holding the button continuously.

After a failed flight the game returns to its ready screen. Press X to try again. The ring speed increases as a run progresses, so the timing that works early on will need adjusting later.

Quick tips

X is the flight button; Enter is not needed to begin.

Line up with the opening before a ring reaches the grub.

Use short holds and releases to control height.
