Billy Hatcher and the Retro Remix
The underrated Gamecube game reimagined as a 2D SNES platformer - made for Retro Jam 2021.
Controls:
A/Left Arrow = Left
D/Right Arrow = Right
W/Space = Jump
S/Down Arrow = Drop Egg/Bounce
Q = Hatch Egg
E = Kick Egg
Jam Notes:
The artwork was made 2 days prior to starting the Jam (not including the Billy Sprite I got from spriters-resource.com). I also used music from my existing video game music library. Everything else from code to level design was developed during the Jam.
Side Effects (Retro Jame Theme):
- Speed Up: Allow player to run significantly faster
- Side Effect: Worse deceleration
- Cannonball: Indestructible object that can be used to destroy enemies
- Side Effect: Consumes fruit permanently (until room reset) without growing
- Wings: Allow double jump
- Side Effect: None
- Egg bounce (Billy can ground pound while holding an egg, giving him a higher jump)
- Side effect: Using the ability too quickly in sequence causes Billy to lose control and let go of the egg
- Eggs can destroy enemies
- Side effect: Egg itself takes damage. Enough damage will result in the egg shattering

This is a fan game and I have no rights to the character concept of Billy Hatcher. As such, this game is not for commercial purposes. I'm just a dad who grew up playing Billy Hatcher and the nostalgia drove me to do this ;)
