I think it's a cool idea, but I couldn't figure out how to do anything except move!

joncom 2012-12-18 21:21

Very clever. I like it :)

mistakoo 2012-12-19 06:44

@nolacoaster That's the only thing you can do. Being a villain isn't always about being a badass killing machine that takes half of the screen, you gotta start small ;)
Notice how you aren't even a threat to the hero?

I really like this.

stavu 2012-12-21 16:05

That's really funny! Took me a while to figure out all I can do is move, while all the heroes are passing me by. Awesome :)

pitoum 2012-12-23 14:52

Ah ah! Awesome idea!
I just wish sometime one of the hero jump on our head and smash us to the ground :)

coffeeonimal 2012-12-23 15:06

Very... existential. I'm still smiling, thank you :)

blockbrains 2012-12-23 15:25

The idea it's good. I want to kill Mario!!! :-)

philip-wagner 2012-12-23 16:38

Yeah, always wondered how the life of an goomba must feel like :) Thanks for showing us!

mikemacdee 2012-12-24 09:59

kinda funny, but that's about it.

mistakoo 2012-12-24 12:26

@Pitoum I wanted that as well, too bad I couldn't do it with my limited skills in limited time :(

thomastc 2012-12-24 15:10

Funny! Is that the Mario theme playing backwards? :D I find it hard to vote on this since it isn't really a game though...

hatscat 2012-12-24 15:35

lol, funny idea ^^

jerrre 2012-12-24 17:39

When I found out what i was doing I really laughed

mistakoo 2012-12-25 08:38

@Frozen Fractal What is a game :P?

caranha 2012-12-25 15:09

Hmmmm, interesting idea, but maybe you went a bit too far with the "deep" message? It would have probably been more interesting if the hero moved a little bit differently each time, so that the goomba would have some (false) hope that something would happen next time.

Cheers!

superdisk 2012-12-25 16:12

While funny, it's not really a game.

mistakoo 2012-12-25 16:43

@cranha I wanted that, but couldn't do it with my skills and allocated time.

brighterorange 2012-12-25 18:39

Funny! But of course, not much of a game. :) I still enjoyed it. The pause before the hero comes was just right.

spelchan 2012-12-25 18:45

As with most games that call themselves "art" games, it isn't very fun. Still, it does make its point and you get to know what low-level villains feel like. Well done.

mistakoo 2012-12-25 19:52

@Spelchan I totally understand that but I wouldn't have been able to make a full game anyway.
Also it is only around 20 seconds long, not enough time to get bored :P

mrevilguy 2012-12-26 07:22

I love it! The whole 'negative' feel to its appearance and music is awesome.

goerp 2012-12-27 10:22

someone mentioned the Mario theme backwards? Sounds funny.
Too bad you dont have more time. The movement is good, the graphics are good , you have collision, so all the ingredients for a game are there.
There is also a consistent retro look and feel which is good.
I'm curious what you could do with more time

kevlarx 2013-01-03 21:03

Haha, love it!

I had a similar idea with my game actually :)

hissssssssss 2013-01-06 05:28

Clever! That moment when you've tried everything and realize that you're doing everything that you can do, and you're fated to watch heroes jump by for the rest of the game was funny.

conflictivelabs 2013-01-06 21:44

You sir just made the most humorous game I've played so far. Now I totally know how goombas do feel... and I do pity them : (
