Our project is an original interactive 2-dimensional 8-bit game, based off early video games like Super Mario, Kirby and Sonic the Hedgehog. The aim of the game is similar to a lot of the early games console games, i.e., to complete the levels by defeating enemies, solving puzzles and saving the day. The game requires the user to complete the levels in order to save the scientist that has been trapped inside the game by a virus. Completing the levels and solving the puzzles results in releasing the scientist from the game, thereby defeating the virus. The game is suitable for users of all ages and good for testing your memory and problem-solving skills.
