Don't Die Mr Robot Pocket (for NGPC)
----------------------------
A demake of Don't Die Mr Robot from Infinite State Games
Made by Ahchay.com
Music by Infinite State Games
Box art by Rob Fearon
----------------------------

Collect Fruit.
Avoid Enemies.
Don't Die.
Mr Robot has come to the NeoGeo Pocket Color console. He's only 25 years late for the party, but that has never stopped him from having a good time before.
Dodge Spikers, Roombas, Bombers, Zappers and Seekers, but watch out for the unstoppable Brute!
Works on emulators and hardware with a flashcart

Version 2.0
Big update this time!
Mr Robot now supports saving to flash memory – this is mainly for Flash Cart owners, but some emulators also support this.
Alas, some emulators really don’t like this option – the Analogue Pocket core being one of them – so if the game crashes on start then you will need to use MRROBOT_NOSAVE.ngp – all other features remain the same, we’ve just disabled access to the flash memory.
Since we’re talking about the Analogue Pocket – Don’t Die Mr Robot is one of the very few games that fully supports the jtngpc core, although you’ll hear a few additional squawks and buzzes that shouldn’t be there.
But that’s not all!
There are now three difficulty levels – Easy, Fair and Hard. Easy is good for learning the ropes, enemies will spawn at a slower pace giving you more time to deal with each wave before the next one appears. Fair is the default difficulty as in the previous releases, and Hard goes as fast as we dare, so you’ll be dodging Spikers from the off.
You can also customise Mr Robot’s appearance – sadly, no hats or dressing up, but you can at least choose his colour.
Lastly, and by no means leastly, we have added high score tables – it would be rude not to take advantage of all that lovely flash memory, so your scores are now kept for posterity – or at least until you foolishly lend your NGPC to a friend
We’ve also fine tuned some of the collisions and fixed a few bugs which will hopefully make Not Dying a bit more fun.

Excuse me, may I ask which game engine you used to create it?
Sorry the late reply...
We don't use an engine as such, this is all C with a custom framework for the NGPC.
There are downloads and a few tutorials on my site at ahchay.com
You're right!Thank you very much!
The game runs perfectly on my NeoGeo Pocket Color from a flashcart and is so much fun! Thank you for creating this wonderful game.
Easy game, option for harder modes would be nice. love the music and graphics!! :)
Hard mode gets a bit hectic as you go on, but we're pushing against our sprite budget all the time and if we go any faster it all gets a bit juddery I'm afraid
We could maybe put an option to start at the highest zone reached
This is incredible! Thank you so much for the NGPC love.
