And yes I'd like to see this on AG.

To be honest I dont think this will be an actual game on AG. Mainly becouse it features ripped mario sprites and music which are copyrighted material.

erm.... he could change em? if he wanted to. Then it wouldn't be.

True, he could

I think it would be better without the mario sprites

Yeah, but (and Im totally guessing here) I think he did it because he wanted some flash experience, not for publication.

I think Its good enough to be published somewhere and it would be a shame to see all that work go to waste. Even if you just put some mochiads in it and then put it up for distribution you have nothing to lose.

Finally got around to playing your game plasma... looks quite promising! Although I'm on a laptop right now and it's a bit slow, it looks as though it's quite playable! And if you set it up more as a framework than a fixed game, you could really easily add / remove levels, artwork, etc... I'm keeping my eye on this one :)

You know. Really good job and idea. I love shooting rather than jumping on their heads. Nice touch. However, you should recalculate the blocks. I fall off them when i shouldn't. Also, I noticed that you can walk throgh pipes when walking to the left. You should fix that. It is a good game. Keep up the hard work. You may also want to up a bit on the thing that checks to see if an enemy has been shot. I shot a gomba, and it killed me! xD Also, for third level, change the music please.... xD Good game! 8/10. It's gonna be oo/1 when a bit more is done to it. Oh! One more thing. You should have a life system. Only one mistake is kinda hard. :) great job.

Pixel, thanks for the input!

Gamemaster, thanks for the kind words.  I know there are certain flaws in the game but I am not worried about it right now.

Here're my two cents:

Cent One: There are some definite clutter issues with the interface and HUD, especially on the instructions screen. Try presenting less, more concise information, and not all at once. The initial player response to a page full of text is, "I ain't readin' all this!" It's sad, but true.

Cent Two: In the future, refrain from using anything but original characters and artwork, simply because you're limiting yourself as an artist. Even if you can't draw worth crap, an original character who's just a block with eyes is 100 times more interesting that Mario. Since everyone knows how Mario games work, that builds up some expectation in your player, but since the game acts (relatively) nothing like a Mario game, there is some visual and operational discord. When I play a game that has that completely original feel, even if it's still standard platforming mechanics, I find myself more intrigued, and thereby more willing to play.

Marcellino, the game instructions are only there in case you need them.  If you play the game expecting it to be like mario then so be it.

I'm not an artist, I am a developer.  If I spent time doing original art then I would have wasted too much time that could have been spent coding.  I picked mario because I think he is a cool character and no other reason.
