like the supercrate box concept, love the art, what else :D

AlrionsAlright 2012-08-26 21:10

Love the concept. I thought I should let you know that even after the EMP block disappeared it still worked as if it was just invisible. Overall cool game.

voec 2012-08-26 21:14

@AlrionsAlright
That was certainly a bug. I couldn't recreate it though, but still: Thanks for letting me know!

@pereubu
Thanks!

kyyrma 2012-08-26 21:25

Love the graphics! The game feels like Mario Bros. with a cute robot, which I figure was what you were aiming for? The gun could be a wee bit bit faster though!

Oh and the EMP block still exists although the sprite disappears for me too.

rodrigomotta 2012-08-26 21:34

I love this game. =) But, really, EMP has a bug, it dont disappear. But, with a ghost EMP the game look more funny. ;D

voec 2012-08-26 22:05

Ok, I found the problem with the EMP. It was something stupid I overlooked. It should be fixed now.
Hopefully that's the only bug that was still in there.
Thank you everyone for the help and your feedback, I very much appreciate it!

sakuyan 2012-08-26 22:39

Cool addition to a great game :D

dtConfect 2012-08-26 22:48

I like the graphics. And I like the mario meets supercrate box meets bubble bobble concept. Too slow for my liking though.

pamvllo 2012-08-26 23:29

Great Game! a good tribute for Mario Bros game

pjchardt 2012-08-27 08:29

Endearing style, I appreciate the retro look and mechanic. I also like how you innovated on the old school mechanic with upgrades/evolution. On the downside it is repetitive, nothing very surprising seems to happen once I understood the game.

eyehawk 2012-08-27 08:42

Excellent game dude! Just like classic GBA - I bet this would make a legendary mobile game. Is there more than one level? If you could vary the environment a bit it would be even better :)

orni 2012-08-27 09:00

wow, easily the best game I've played so far

love everything about it, concept, design, polishing, gameplay ... beatiful!

this would have been a great gameboy game back in the days (with more levels of course)

ubear 2012-08-27 09:00

Great game. Boring a bit.

jamezogamer101 2012-08-27 09:07

pretty cool pipes kind of remind me of mario

madpew 2012-08-27 09:26

7460. Love the gameboy colors. Some chiptune would have been awesome and enemies making some more sounds. Love the evolving part. Will play again. Well done.

erephy 2012-08-27 09:38

I always loved the GB palette and always wanted to make some pixel art with it, but I am very bad with low color palettes.
So when I played your game, I loved it from the very title screen. Good job and well done!

eddm 2012-08-27 09:52

Cool game! Nice graphics, and it worked very smoothly. Controls were a bit awkward, but that might just be a personal preference. Good job!

sanguine 2012-08-27 09:52

I liked the graphics and the concept, but it felt a bit sluggish.

bvanschooten 2012-08-27 10:02

A superior rendition of the original Mario Bros :-)

andreibarsan 2012-08-27 10:07

Nice and polished, I really enjoyed it!
I got 6430! :D
It feels really nice and cozy!

krobill 2012-08-27 11:02

Nice gameplay, tight controls, polished visuals. Pretty nice result overall! Maybe some collision detection problems with enemy bullets ? not sure though...

spectrenectar 2012-08-27 11:09

Super awesome.
Only little thing I had was that evolving didn't feel like it made you so powerful.
My score: 5980

bemmu 2012-08-27 11:24

A nice version of a classic game with a great minimalistic art style, suitable sounds and the characters have cute animations too. Took a while to realize I had a gun!

adventureislands 2012-08-27 11:38

I like the idea of mario bros like gameplay but with shooting and evolving abilities, nice work! My only complaint is just that it's kind of slow paced, atleast in the beginning.

jijaweb 2012-08-27 11:45

Nice done on a classic game. Like the graphics. Thumbs up! :)

saint11 2012-08-27 12:21

Wow, this game is awesome :D Really simple and spot on!

jplur 2012-08-27 13:40

Oooh this is a good one, could definitely spend an hour playing this if I didn't have so many entries to test ;)

davidllanos22 2012-08-27 13:43

I really enjoyed this game! Nice retro graphics and classic gameplay with a twist! I scored 4670 :)

pardue 2012-08-27 13:59

This is a fun game, I like the graphics. The gun was a little frustrating but I enjoyed it. :)

sclark39 2012-08-27 14:16

Cool little game. Very tight design. I was led astray by the familiarity and tried to jump on enemies heads before I found out I could shoot. The evolution portion was very minor in the gameplay, I felt. If you leveled up faster it would probably be more fun.

ncannasse 2012-08-27 14:16

Nicely done :)

sgehlich 2012-08-27 14:28

Very well done, I love the style!

Ligh7zIncrement 2012-08-27 14:37

Very good, I loved the graphics and the ability to knock things from underneath

ragzouken 2012-08-27 15:29

The game looks great, but movement and reload time were too slow for me - made it very frustrating.

k1net1k 2012-08-27 15:48

Nice artwork, and cool that you kept it all in the same tone. The controls are a bit slow. Decent little sounds

th3dz 2012-08-27 15:48

Nice graphics. A bit slow to move but overall good.

someguy22 2012-08-27 16:08

Cool, I liked it, but it's a little too difficult for me, maybe the evolved enemies should move slower or something.

cacciatc 2012-08-27 16:33

+1 GB palette. Great visual feel.

kortuga98 2012-08-27 16:44

Great game! Like an amp'd up version of the original Mario... I like it. Good job.

38leinad 2012-08-27 16:55

nice. i loved super mario bros. but actually harder then the original.

pixelulsar 2012-08-27 17:00

It was very fun. I like you added evolution into that old Mario game.

nate427 2012-08-27 18:45

Great game, love the color palette!

spaceoff 2012-08-27 18:51

Really fun and addicting. Enjoyed playing it, love the graphical style. The menu music is a bit dull though, and the game proper could really have done with some music.

captainicy 2012-08-27 19:06

Oh, I really like this! The graphics are so simple and nice. Gameplay is fine, and the concept proves to be hard and fun!
Good job.

emveyh 2012-08-27 19:16

I LOVE those graphics :D Awesome work!

jaj 2012-08-27 19:39

Gameboy-like graphics are aways a plus. I liked that you didn't hide how this is basicly a super mario bros clone with a twist.

mappum 2012-08-27 19:43

Nice Mario Bros knockoff. Not the most innovative, but you did a good job with it. I really liked the graphics style.

thurig 2012-08-27 19:51

Really nice Mario Bros clone. Makes me feel old. At least it is better then Mario Bros on the Atari 2600!

Jeremias 2012-08-27 19:55

Nice concept and graphics. In my opinion the movement of the character is a bit too slow.

luizhgmonclar 2012-08-27 20:05

7250! Man, I really enjoyed this one, one of the best for me so far, quite enjoyed it. Great Mario Bros reference. I think you got me mostly because of that in the beginning, but as it progressed it started to have its own feel.

I Liked the pacing. The difficulty curve keeps increasing consistently, and it feels really good when you kill a robot.

AWESOME job. Cheers!

dalbinblue 2012-08-27 21:30

Nice adaptation of Mario Brothers. Found a bit of a glitch (cheat). You can actually knock out an enemy after if falls off the edge of a platform if you hit the platform just as the enemy is next to it. It make it a lot easier to knock out the enemy because you just need to walk over a block instead of jumping up.

sience 2012-08-27 22:22

The Gameboy Art Style is stunning!

zccc 2012-08-27 22:23

Very good...

vordux 2012-08-27 22:23

Nice implentation of old school gaming styles with the theme. Graphics were a pleasure and so was the audio, the overall game tied in really nicely together. Good job.

Lucariatias 2012-08-27 22:51

So it's a Mario bros clone... in Flash... with lovely green visuals and bleepy sounds and evolving robots! What's not to love?
If anything had to be improved, I'd say add more difficulty levels. It's kinda easy if you know Mario Bros, given the advantage of a gun as well...

chardish 2012-08-27 22:58

Love the minimalist graphics and the polish on this one. Good work!

mrdanh 2012-08-27 23:08

Great, very reminiscent of the old Mario Brothers arcade game but with your own spin on the gameplay. Graphics and audio were a good fit as well

saguaro 2012-08-27 23:14

GameBoy <3 Fun game, enjoyed it.

jprogman 2012-08-28 00:53

I'm mostly more interested in games with original or new concepts. Still, while this game borrows the concept of "Mario Bros.", this is fun.

mdkess 2012-08-28 01:06

Solid take on a classic game - simple, polished, balanced. Really liked this one!

thewiseguy99 2012-08-28 01:10

Great game. Enjoyed playing, especiall once I figured out how not to be killed at first when your movements are slow. Stay with it and get speed upgrades! Simple, but effective graphics. Overall a really good job!!!

aaronflippo 2012-08-28 01:52

It's like Mario Bros, but with monocrome graphics and clunky controls :)

Seriously though - nice job! I like the enemy upgrades.

travischen 2012-08-28 02:28

Awesome work! Classic Mario Bros

maxium 2012-08-28 04:12

Definitely pulled off the retro graphics :)

josefnpat 2012-08-28 04:27

Brilliant Hommage to the smb versus level! I love it.

POW!

gustavodort 2012-08-28 05:03

Well, it's not very innovative, but the game is well polished and the graphics are neat :)

Kudos!

monz 2012-08-28 09:46

Great game! I liked the graphics style.

derosa 2012-08-28 12:02

Great graphics!

joker 2012-08-28 12:06

Really liked the concept.

covebit 2012-08-28 13:59

Cool

barry-abrams 2012-08-28 16:09

I love mario bros. I own an arcade machine version of it. One of my favorite games.

zamando 2012-08-28 16:18

Feels a bit slow in the beginning. Otherwise nice! Like the gameboy-style graphics.

bushmango3 2012-08-28 16:22

good game, frustratingly hard to control at first but that gives room to evolve ... the pace is a little too slow. I would have liked it better if you leveled up faster.

cricklewood 2012-08-28 17:08

Ah Mario Bros had a timeless formula.

vennril 2012-08-28 17:14

A classic game translated very well into Gameboy style with cute robots! Enjoyed this a lot.
My score was 9810 :)

juaxix 2012-08-28 19:47

It is fun :)
Like a mix between Mario Bross, Bubble Bobble and Pac Man with Game Boy colors ,wonderful haha
I would like that the char also kill enemies by jumping over their heads :D
Difficult is a little unbalaced due to the big amount of time it tooks each fire and another, and the quantity of monsters you have to kill to evolve, good game :)

xhunterko 2012-08-28 20:24

Really fun, nicely built platformer. Nice take on theme. You evolve to slowly I think but fun. ^^

jellonator 2012-08-28 20:36

I fell through the floor :/

volute 2012-08-28 20:40

Great imitation of the GameBoy style !

thesarcastic 2012-08-29 10:50

Great game! Only improve I'd recommend is making you evolve a bit faster to make it exciting faster.

flyingbear 2012-08-29 18:23

I had fun with this one, it's a nice take on a classic =) Mario Bros, with leveling up? sign me up!

amidos2006 2012-08-29 22:13

Nice game I like the idea of flipping the enemies and if u hit it again it turns again :) nice idea and game :) I like it :)

mach60kas 2012-08-30 16:08

Nice gameboy visuals, gamplay reminds me a lot of The original mario bros game and super Cratebox. Good job! :)

switchbreak 2012-08-31 01:38

Really nice! Very super crate boxy, or original Mario-ish. Wish I could have shot faster.

yenz 2012-08-31 04:22

One of my favorite games so far

saintheiser 2012-09-01 02:48

Nice Work! I impressed how you combine mario gameplay and evolution! Really nice!

auxiliumgames 2012-09-02 02:45

The art, and feel/mechanics of the game are so authentically retro! Your color palate is excellent, and the game is fun. Takes me back to a combination of playing gameboy, and then the original mario brothers in the arcade.

jaydenb 2012-09-02 04:30

Loved this, really reminded me of Super Crate Box but felt different from the evolving enemies. Loved it!

yosh 2012-09-02 23:05

I really like the retro-style aspect of this game. Also, the evolution system is pretty smart and fun. Nice game!

lonestranger 2012-09-03 06:42

Nice little fun game. Very polished, and good graphical style.

miltage 2012-09-03 12:41

A great game, I love the concept and art. Took me a while to get in the swing of it, but when I did I had tons of fun playing it.

angrygeometry 2012-09-03 15:30

this is super addictive. really fun game!

infernet89 2012-09-03 15:42

Very nice retro-arcade style. Game is good, but maybe EMP need to be refilled over time.

vaelzan 2012-09-04 08:18

Nicely polished and quite fun after I learned how to play properly. Nice graphics and sounds too!

bobiniki 2012-09-05 11:42

Nice game 7990 score :D. So fun and there is so many ways you can play it. So many ways to kill enemies :D

gnx 2012-09-05 16:46

Nice presentation and idea. Some issues of polish:
movement and jumping stay sluggish and floaty even after upgrades,
enemies don't have a warning animation when they pop back up (they do in the game you're homaging to ;)).

And music would've made it a bit more fun when the session gets longer.

Otherwise nice execution.

darkshadow 2012-09-05 20:41

I like the remake of the super mario bros. map and the old gameboy style graphics are cool.

haddy22 2012-09-05 21:13

I really enjoyed this one- Great work! its not easy to re-create some of these classics and you did a great job- the evolving upgrades are great too. Very well done

90sml 2012-09-05 21:40

I love the graphics and music but i would have prefered a much nervous game play for this kind of games. The game is still very fun, good job.
