I think they came onto some gbadev irc channel looking for people who had made amateur games, and paid a bit of money for them. They never mentioned it was going on a ps2 / gamecube emulator, or I would have changed the control screens.

You know your downloads are bad when 2 seems like a big day because the bar goes halfway up the graph
Does the y position increase as things move down the screen? If so you might need to check the player y < enemy y, and also sometimes good to check that the player is currently moving downwards

If you don't have control over the tile attributes or palette layouts, you could hide sprites in the hblank where the text box starts, and re-enable them in vblank
Is white in that palette the transparent color?
Doesn't skeeting already mean jizzing?
