Mother - The Video Game GBA

Mother: The Video Game was developed in Spring 2019 as the final project for a Media Device Architecture class at Georgia Tech.

It is a pixel platformer whose theme came from the universe of Mother, an original science fiction by Joey Bishop deeply rooted in 80s nostalgia.

The project was built in C and involved state machines, complex gravity, and wall climbing, among other game mechanics.
