A challenging illustrated offline iPhone platformer built with GPT-6 Astra, with a hero inspired by a photo of my son. Explore 20 worlds, dodge enemy fire and face individual bosses. Hardcore gives you just three health points. Think you can finish it? Free, with no ads or in-app purchases. Custom characters from photos are in experimental development.
Hi Product Hunt! I'm Dzmitry Nurymanau, founder of Obscyra Technologies L.L.C-FZ in Dubai. I wanted my son to become the hero of his own game, so Alex's illustrated character was created from a photo of him. That personal idea became Alex Adventures, built with GPT-6 Astra.
Don't let the colourful artwork fool you: this is a demanding platformer. You need to time your jumps, dodge enemy fire and learn each boss. Hardcore gives Alex just three health points and opponents 1.5x health; attack patterns and pace are the same in both modes. Think you can finish it? I'd love to hear which boss stops you first.
The demo explores 20 worlds across two chapters: world-specific animated enemies, individual boss fights, destructible scenery, moving backgrounds and layered foreground details. Three save slots let you keep separate adventures. Almost all geometric world artwork has been replaced with illustrated image assets; lighting, atmosphere and selected combat effects remain procedural.
I lead the product ideas, visual direction and hands-on testing, working with AI tools through implementation and iteration. Astra helped with gameplay code, debugging, visual revisions and browser, simulator and iPhone checks. My other projects include the Obscyra messenger, the DIMUL local agent application, NURM and PayNur. Alex Adventures is the project I'm presenting in this challenge.
ChatGPT also helped me navigate the process of establishing my company in Dubai. Our startup received $10,000 in Cloudflare service credits, and we received promotional OpenAI API credits. These are service credits supporting our work.
Custom characters from photos are in experimental development: we have tested local models and prototypes, but the results are not yet good enough to ship. The aim is to keep generation on-device and allow two custom characters alongside Alex. This feature is not included in the demo.
The original game is on the App Store; the demo shows our expanded development build. The game is free, offline, with no ads or in-app purchases. Try it and tell me how far you get!
