Alice Sisters
A downloadable game for Windows and Linux
The big mountain villain captured the mom of Alice and her sister.
Help Alice and her sister save their mother through 28 levels spread over 4 worlds, each with their final villain to battle against!
Play alone by switching from one character to another, or cooperate with 2 players to complete each level.
Each of the sisters has her own power, Alice can change size by jumping on magic mushrooms.
Her small size will allow her to pass through narrow spaces, but be careful because she will not be able to jump very high and very far!
Alice's sister can throw balls to repel enemies or break stones blocking the path.
Go through the levels and solve puzzles by activating the right lever, the right switches, as well as finding the color keys to open the different doors.
Replay value with 4 playing modes: easy mode with no death, normal mode, puzzle mode with careful usage of the ball throwing and hard mode with limited lives !

Hi - lovely game! Can I ask if you'd consider rumble support for GBA please? (Using EZ Flash Omega DE flashcart and mGBA)
no, I don't see the point in using rumble, and I don't have a rumble cart to test it.
Oh, that's a shame you feel that way. I find it adds a lot of extra immersion to a game – it's an extra sense after all. Anyway, appreciate the reply. Wishing you the best with the game.
A cute modern classic!
Nice work, I posted news about the game on the retro games site:

Hi. Is there a way to get files in a different format than shk? I am trying to run the Falcon version on Windows Hatari, but I have no luck with .shk archives.
BTW: is there a official email address to contact Orion Games for press questions?
you need to install the game on a harddrive, these are not disk images. you need to setup a harddrive on hatari and copy the installation files there and start the program as_setup.tos.
I added a virtual hard drive and copied as_setup.tos along with the four .shk files. Nothing happens when I start as_setup. I guess shk files must be unpacked first, but I have no clue about what to use.
Definitely not a simple procedure for someone who hasn't been in the Atari ST/falcon world before.
what do you mean nothing happen ? starting as_setup.tos should at least show a message or an error, otherwise there is something wrong with your emulation setup
Ok, it works now. Sorry for all the pain. The installation procedure is also much more straightforward than I thought! I assumed I had to unpack the files BEFORE lauching as_setup, when actually it's as_setup which unpacks them! Once everything unpacked fine, the game ran immediately.
This game is great. I am trying to contact you privately via email, is it possible? my email address is contatti(at)zzapmagazine.it. I have some questions before writing the review. Thank you.
Thank you very much, I have been waiting for Atari Falcon.
What a pity that you no longer support Atari Jaguar, a brilliant two player game on Jaguar and jagpad. Maybe you could make a jagpad support version for the Falcon ?
I don't have a jaguar or jagpad anymore.
Hi, no GBA file? :(
sorry, I just released the game this month, I'm already struggling to sell the little 100 physical copies I made, so I don't want to release the ROM file and have cheap chinese copies the next month. as always I will release the ROM when the physical copies are sold.
Allright, thank u for the answer 😊
Thanks for releasing the GBA and Genesis ROM files. Very appreciated.
Just bought/pre-ordered the game on Xbox, looking forward to play it. Looks very cute!
Hello. This game is a Action-Platformer or Metroidvania? I dont like Castlevania or Metroid inspired, i prefer the normal Action-Platformer, but even so i wish your game project will be successfull :)
it's a Puzzle Platformer, I'm not sure what is a metroidvania since I never played metroid. My game is done and released on several platform, you can watch the gameplay here
Thank you. Ok i have watched and looks so good. Youre very talented!
Hi, bought it on steam and I'm really enjoying it, but then I seen it's also on Dreamcast and maybe Genesis one day. That's really cool except Pixel makes me nervous to buy from because they make bad ports. I'd be more willing to buy the game in other formats if I knew they just distribute it and you (Orion) actually did the porting.
Hi thanks for your support, I did the port of Alice Sister to Dreamcast and Genesis (in fact, it is a genesis game that I made, and then ported it to PC and Dreamcast), so the version they will release is my version, I just granted them the right to publish is as I don't have the time anymore to publish it myself.
Cheers bud, good to know!
I am extremely impressed by this port and pleased with my purchase. I read some place this is your last game. I hope you do well in whatever you choose to do from here, but it's sad to lose such an excellent creator. Excellent work bud. If you do ever make another one, I'm buying.
Will a genesis ROM be available? I saw they were selling a physical copy.. thank you
no rom available sorry, the Dreamcast and Genesis/Megadrive versions are exclusive to Pixel Heart physical release.
Bummer, I guess I'll never play it then.
you can play it on PC for now, maybe soon on GBA, PS1 or even Switch !
Did Pixel Heart ever publish the Genesis/Mega Drive version of this?
unfortunately I have no news about the Megadrive version despite multiple email I've sent to the publisher ...maybe try to contact them too.
It looks really cool, are you planning to port it to some retro platforms?
the game was originally made for the Sega Genesis / Megadrive, and also ported to the Dreamcast, those were sold to the publisher Pixel Heart, the Dreamcast version will be released very soon, but I have no news about the Megadrive version despite multiple email I've sent to the publisher ...
I think this is quite the graphical upgrade
Beautiful
