Nice concept!
The coding and controls could use a little work though. The jumping is kinda sketchy, if you know what I mean. It's the same problem many flash pltformers have. The graphics could have been better, like giving the coin some detail and depth. It's harder, but not impossible. I could show you how if you needed. Next time add the option to set your own controls, too.
Great game, I'll have to pla ythis more later. Losing the shell is great btw, perfect way to represent "little mario".
Thanks for the review. I'll add detailed coins to my list of things to update. I like how you said that I should add an option to change controls NEXT TIME, some people don't realize what a bitch it is to do something like that with a completed game.
great game
i've always wanted to play as a Kopa..yay..fun game..but i think wasd would make for better controls..^_^
cool game
Cool game, but the controlls suck balls.
You need to add WASD for directions, or just a controls option. I hate arrow keys for games like this. Its irritating.
Ironically, I hate WASD controls. I just can't keep in the right spot with them.
Some people like levels and others music, but I...
...I happen to be a fan of the boss fights. Let me tell you: That last boss with Mario was GOLD in comparison to some of the other flash bosses I have seen. Granted, it still could have used more stuff (perhaps after Mario's body broke, Mario himself comes out and fights), but all-in-all, it was a very challenging battle (at first, until I figured out how to do it). The music fit in real well with the battle, as did the effects (rain, darkness, etc.).
Personally, I don't see how this flash has gotten below a 4.0/5.0 I'm guessing it is because people are getting pissed off at the difficulty (probably mainly due to that one spike level where there's a bajillion spikes everywhere).
I can't wait to see what game is in store next.
Best amateur work
Very nice game. Somewhat challenging, but the save feature makes up for it. Nice music. My only complaint is the jumping animation. If you make it look like he's actually jumping instead of "running in midair" or "standing in midair" you got yourself a better winner.
