Replica Island. is a free Platform Game, released on March 8th, 2010 exclusively for Android. Its website can be found here.Your character is a small green robot created by Dr. Kabochanomizu to find The Source, a mysterious artifact apparently responsible for the creation of the island both are in.
However, Dr. Kabochanomizu is not the only one looking for The Source. The Rokudou Corporation has also been sending agents to find The Source. One of them was Dr. Kabochanomizu himself, before he became insane.
This game provides examples of:
- Anachronic Order / In Medias Res: When the game starts, Android has lost its memories. The "past" stages are played out of order (in the order they are remembered), interspersed with the "present" stages, which are played in chronological order.
- Idiosyncratic Episode Naming: All stages are named "Memory #xxx", numbered in chronological order.
- Hopeless Boss Fight: The game starts In Medias Res with Wanda helping to restore Android just after it had been defeated by Kyle. Later in the game (earlier chronologically) you play this fight, and obviously there is no way you can win it.
- Multiple Endings: At the end of the game, you have to chose between Kabocha and Rokudou. Or you can Take a Third Option to find the good ending.
- Take a Third Option: This is done to get the good ending, instead of choosing either Kabocha or Rokudou, Android has to destroy The Source.
- Heroic Mime: Android has no lines of dialogue.
- Tutorial Level: The first few memories are of Android just after being activated for the first time, and have Dr. Kabochanomizu teaching it all its techniques. Includes He Knows About Timed Hits.
