Trailer HQ Title Screen Image

ALPHA SPHERE: Director’s Cut is a more completed version of the HLDC 1st Place Entry that addresses many issues, and adds many things that fleshes out the experience. You play as Norma, a girl trying to escape a man known as Dr. Andre when she stumbles across an ancient relic. Now she must provide it a new home before the night time passes. There are 4 endings you can get, and many secrets to unravel.

Warning: This hack contains themes of suicide and implied sexual themes (nothing visual). The whole game is Red and Black, which may lead to eye sores if played for a long period of time.


IMPORTANT NOTES:

  • Use the warp at the beginning of the game frequently, as it sets multiple midpoints to warp you to the last “challenge” areas you’ve been through. (If you are not sent to the intended location, just keep trying again until you make it back).
  • For your first run, ignore Dr. Andre’s advice of returning the “Alpha Sphere” and keep going left to find an opened pit.
  • Press START to skip the Game Over screen.
  • Try talking to Dr. Andre more than once.

This is v1.0.1 of the game.

Thank you for those who downloaded this rom hack.
Those who don't know how to patch BPS files should
first download FLIPS from SMW Central's Tool
Section, then apply this to a clean Super Mario
World rom (if you're lucky to have one). To test
if it's applied successfully, you should see a
logo appear. If you see a title screen that is red
and black, with a weird sphere relic thingy on the
bottom, you're set, we're good, you may play. If
you just see Super Mario World with the Nintendo
logo, you're just playing the original game. Not
that it's a bad game tho, it's pretty good.

The game is in no current relation with the
Mushroom Kingdom: Beyond The Worlds series myself
and Mellonpizza established; rather, this is
intended to be it's own contained universe and a
story that's all up to interpretation. This is made
as both a practice to my coding abilities with ASM,
and to make a mysterious game with horror elements.

You are Norma, a girl looking to escape from a man
named Dr. Andre. After a suicide attempt, you
stumble across an ancient relic. With it, you must
find a new home for it before the night passes.

Gameplay revolves around ring puzzles where you
must throw rings at resistance eyes to progress
through lasers. There are mainly two sections where
this is required, and it's also how you get one of
the endings during, to put it vaguely, a boss fight.

There are 4 endings, each found after preforming
certain criteria. There are also many secrets I have
hid throughout the time between the initial release
back at the Halloween Level Design Contest and the
Director's Cut.
