Excellent work crait! Keep it up!

Some minor problems I found in the code:
- In the main game, every time right is pressed, you are loading the Kirby image. This can lead to a memory leak depending on how lua handles it.

- You use contionous function calls within function calls (or dofiles() ). This means you have:
Menu->Controls->Menu->Game->Credits->Menu->etc
but the first Menu function call will never finish. Huge possible internal memory leak depending on how Lua handles it.

- The amount of damage loss by pressing R is too high at present. A light tap can deplete half the health bar.

[Hungry Horace]

it's things like this that make me want to code a LUA Horace game!

please keep it coming, because not only am i a fan of Kirby's GameBoy adventures, but i like seeing the development, and as i say, i'm sneaking a look at your code and being slowly inspired!

good luck.
