About Alter Ego game

Alter Ego is a 2D puzzle-platformer developed as an NES homebrew by Shiru, based on a concept by Denis Grachev that introduces the mechanic of controlling a character and their mirrored phantom twin simultaneously. The core goal is to swap positions between both figures to dodge hazards and collect items, demanding high strategic thinking due to the limited number of swaps allowed across its 25 levels.

Featuring a retro aesthetic and an authentic chiptune soundtrack, this title stands out as an indie gem that requires pixel-perfect planning to solve intricate puzzles. As an open-source project, Alter Ego has cemented its place as a respected and classic benchmark within the retro-gaming and modern homebrew development community.
