Super Mario Boss by dredlockz

[raw]
made by dredlockz for LD25 (COMPO)
Mario is chilling doing his biz, but who is the dashing turtle in the top hat, I wonder?

Use the arrow keys to move (Up to jump).


It's more a short homage, than an actual game, but hope you like it anyway.

A little bug with the collisions, but it's ok XD

The control felt a little too slippery. ): I like the art style, though.

Clever idea, having the badguy run backwards like that.

Seconding Razion's comment on the evil player doing the level in reverse (reminds me a little of the ending of Braid) - awesome idea. Couple of quick comments: controls feel a little too floaty/slippery, countdown timer would be good, ability to restart without refreshing the browser would also be good.

The controls need some work, but otherwise a fun little platformer.

I like the reversing scroll direction idea.

Lovely. Loved the graphics and music. Running left was quite an adjustment :D

The graphics and audio are a flattering homage to the franchise. If you continue to develop this, when I am next to pipe and jump, I don't go up, which I would expect to from Super Mario Bros. I also feel a little strange not being able to backtrack.

Great art and music. Controls feel a bit weird at times but that didn't stopped me form finishing your game.

Nice idea to reverse the scrolling. I wish you punched the princess in the end.

Like the graphics and the music :)

Aside from the controls/physic it's good , maybe a bit too short.

nice game, of course much too short. But good job nevertheless :)

Kinda cool but nothing was really explained. Who was the character I was controlling? Why did Mr. Plumber fall down? Why was he surprised in the first place? Why am I going to a castle? Still, art was nice and the music was neat. Fun while it lasted.

Nice concept. I'm a sucker for Mario ... anything, and the game art was nice - I like that you didn't copy the original too closely and it really felt like it was its own game. (if that makes any sense)
