Martin Gauer, an indie game developer at 2nd Law Games, has unveiled the first demo of Self Simulated, a fast-paced action platformer for the original Game Boy Color that plays like a modern title.

In Self Simulated, you, the player, awaken without any memories and hear a voice in your head informing you that you’ve recently died. Your mind was mapped before and transferred into a robot body, which you now must synchronize with by navigating the facility, overcoming obstacles, and battling enemy robots.

This challenging game combines precise platforming with one-hit enemy combat. An instant level reload feature ensures that frustration stays low, even if mastering a level proves difficult.

To accommodate various skill levels, Self Simulated includes assist settings that allow players to adjust the game's overall difficulty.

A demo is available at 2nd Law Games' itch.io page, where you can play for free directly in your web browser or download the ROM for emulators and real devices (using a flashcard).

Based in Germany, 2nd Law Games was founded by Martin Gauer.
Martin first went into making GB Studio games with a playable portfolio of his own personal website which won several website design awards. He is generally interested in a very broad band of topics, and adds new things to the skill list all the time. Being born in the late 80s, the original Game Boy DMG-01 was his first gaming console, and so he kind of has a nostalgic romance with everything around it.
