What it is
Self Simulated is a fast-paced precision platformer for the Game Boy Color. Play as a robotic version of yourself and navigate over 100 handcrafted levels filled with enemies, hazards, and glitch-filled dangers. Uncover your past and master tight, responsive controls designed for fast retries and fluid movement.
The premise
Self Simulated is an all-new action platformer for the Game Boy Color that thrusts you into the shoes of a robot version of yourself, awakening with no memory of your past. Guided by a mysterious voice in your head, you discover that you recently had a fatal accident and your mind was transferred into a robot body. Your mission is to synchronize your new body with your mind by navigating through a high-tech facility filled with dangerous enemies and tricky obstacles and something that the voice in your head describes as the “glitch”. Experience fluid and fast-paced gameplay with mechanics such as double jumping, wall jumps, dodge rolls, and dash attacks. Each level is a test of skill, where touching enemies or glitches results in an instant reboot, allowing for quick retries and maintaining a steady, engaging pace. The game features well over 100 meticulously designed levels, each auto-saving upon completion, making it perfect for quick gaming sessions. Adjustable assist settings allow players of all skill levels to enjoy the game at their own pace, offering features like triple jumps, immunity to glitches, and auto-stomping enemies. Once you've completed the game, unlock the speedrun mode to challenge yourself with an in-game timer and minimal interruptions. Uncover the truth behind your existence, experience the strange glitches and blackouts, and piece together the story of your past in this captivating journey. Will reaching 100% synchronization reveal everything? Dive into Self Simulated to find out.
