Competition Entry

This was a competition entry in 2024

Alter Ego is a puzzle game originally released by Retrosouls (Denis Grachev) for the Zx-Spectrum, and later ported to half a dozen platforms, including a Nes version by Shiru and a Megadrive one by Retrosouls themselves.

This is a demo of our take on the Master System. It originally started as one of my first tests with devkitSMS, and some months ago I rewrote it from scratch. It's still not a complete product, although all original levels have already been ported. The game still lacks better graphics (current ones are based on the Nes version) and most of the in-game music (currently only using 2 different tracks).

The goal of the game is to guide your avatar and your "alter ego" across several different levels, collecting all the bouncing "pixels" while avoiding the insidious skulls.
