Sparkpaw: The Stormstone Quest - An AI game teased for the Amiga 1200 by mrdig

Trawling through itch for even more games to feature and I've come across an Amiga game called Sparkpaw: The Stormstone Quest, an action-platformer built from scratch for the Amiga 1200 using mostly AI by mrdig. In this side-scrolling adventure, players step into the paws of Sparkpaw, a spirited amber-orange feline inventor who must navigate ancient, machine-ridden ruins. Armed with a vibrant teal energy gauntlet, this mechanical prodigy is on a mission to cross hazardous terrain and piece together the lost Cores of the legendary Stormstone.


The first teased alpha showcases the complete route of the game's initial world. Across twelve scrolling screens filled with clockwork beetles, deep water hazards, and towering Storm Striders, players can run, jump, and blast rapid plasma shots against a beautifully layered parallax backdrop. The preview wraps up at the Stormkeeper's Waystation, where the first elusive Stormstone Core awaits discovery. For being a game created with so much AI, which includes even the itch io page it isn't that bad at all. But for those of you who hate AI with anger, it's probably just best to skip this one ;).
