Bird Tapper's Retro Challenge

Share Collapse

Author Comments

Oh no! President Ng has been kidnapped by Gingerbread (from Bird Tapper And the Great Krampusnacht Cleansing)!

It's up to Bird Tapper to rescue him.


Basically, it's a play on Super Mario Bros but without loading screens and with multiple paths to choose from. Try to beat the game as quickly as possible!

Hope you like it!

so retro

Well it's Super Mario Bros but with a new coat of paint, no loading screens and no lives. I like the graphics, the music is good and the changing paths is a fun idea. The controls feel worse than in Super Mario Bros which makes it less fun to play. It's not bad but it's not amazing.

heheheh this bird is funny...

only issue, put your own spin on it, dont use mario? keys did NOT run well for me, but I'm not much for this kind of game.. hilarious!

Couple of performance issues (and I could only get it running in Firefox) but it was an enjoyable hour (I "enjoyed the scenery") of Mario remix. Amazing music as always.

Edit: I definitely enjoyed it! It was a really cool way to experience SMB1 again, the infinite spawning and the way things were strung together made everything feel fresh again. This being (I assume?) a custom engine is even more impressive. What base tech? You should write something up. :)

WaterSilverC responds:

Yeah, preformance issues are my fault. In essence I had forgotten how big smb1 actually is and just loaded everything in memory. I was skipping too much as a kid I guess and remembered it shorter.

Interesting that it works well for firefox for you. I developed the engine in firefox but it started stuttering a bit but when I use chrome it's totally smooth. I guess it depends on the machine.

Anyway glad you liked it!
