Description

This is a 42 School project. It consists in creating a little 2D game with the MiniLibX, the school's graphic library.

The game

The purpose of the game is to obtain every collectible of the level, while avoiding ennemy attacks. You can beat the ennemies either by jumping on them or by hitting them with your hammer lost in the map. The tiniest contact can loose you the game, so be careful !

Informations

Being free to choose my own sprites, I used the ones from games I grew up with, namely the Mario license from the 90s and 2000s, and especially here Paper Mario 64. The same goes for sounds, added as a bonus, and the Easter eggs that can be found in the different levels. With it being my first game as well as my first graphical project, it seemed natural to me to make it a tribute to the ones that made me love the world of video games and gave me the desire to create some of my own.
