A really well made mario clone that fits the theme nicely. Really enjoyable to play, nice job.

Interesting run on a classic, well done!

Relaxing game, I got to level 5 I think, but I couldnt jump the gap first time so I came back to RTFM :P

Nice mario clone, everything seems to be working smoothly.

One of the better games I've played so far. Quickly got a bit too challenging for me - but it's a nice long game with a nice relaxing music track.

The controls are quite bad, made it hard to get anywhere.

i like mario, and the mini version of him looks nice too =). why does mario move on his though? i'd prefer a straight up mario clone.

Very good job, it's beautiful !

This looks adorable, but I can't play it in Linux :[

This game is a good start. It would be a lot better if you had some "air control" so you could speed up/slow down mid jump. As it stands right now I spent most of the game fighting the controls.

ella guro: The controls are part of the theme :) I tried to create a minimalistic gameplay

namuol: What I have heard is that the game should run perfectly on Wine, though I haven't tried it myself

bushmango: I'm have added air control and it will be in the post-compo version. A few other things have changed also :P It should be a little easier now.

Awesome clone!! Good work! I like controls :)

dem0 2013-05-02 17:58

Post-Compo version is now downloadable! :) The ratings should still be done on the basis of the compo version

Nice game, well done!

Great idea, Mario as an endless runner. Really well implemented, Well Done =]

Very well done game. I kept getting stuck on the 3 block water jump sequence but all in all, nice work! Also, dug the music's as a chance of pace.

Awesome. One of the best games that I've played so far.

setting aside that it's mario-like, i loved your music. was a treat to listen to. not sure why the movement was forced to be like a "run!" game as i wanted to enjoy your levels with free movement. That's just me i guess, but that's me. :) cute pixel graphics and nice imitation and feel for a mario game.

mesene 2013-05-05 19:27

Nice entry! I saw it on the 10s compillation video and made me search it!

ernyz 2013-05-06 11:04

Nice game, fits the theme well and graphics and music are good, but learning to control the mario was very hard :)

8bitpimp 2013-05-06 21:59

Very well done. As a massive Mario fan, I salute you.

casimps1 2013-05-07 15:53

Oh wow, would you believe I had this EXACT same idea? I didn't end up following through on it because I didn't think I'd have time to do proper level design, but still very cool to see what my finished idea might've looked like.

Well done!

Love the lil graphics and the different game play! FUN

atraxgames 2013-05-07 22:01

You made me nostalgic, great job!

tifu 2013-05-10 14:10

Good job, it's pretty tough though, I didn't get super far :D

paulopn 2013-05-10 15:55

Great game! Nice music, too!

klianc09 2013-05-10 17:30

I didn't read the instructions at first. So I wanted to go complain how frickin hard this game sometimes is, but then I saw that you can slow down, but that was after I basically played through your game without using slowing down... However, I only was able to complete the game because you can farm infinite lives at level 7, there I farmed until the lives reached outside the right side of the screen. Nevertheless when I was close to the end, I nearly had no lives left, because the last levels are just really frickin hard.
The fact that you can't change speed while jumping, made it more into some sort of puzzle game, that was somehow interesting.
Overall: really cool rage inducing game, the post-compo version seems to fix most of the issues, that's really nice. (Although you should still be able to farm lives because you get a mushroom and some coins, but it will take much more time and is much more difficult...)

The audio didn't really fit, and the controls were a bit fiddly, but it was still a fun game overall.

kevinlaity 2013-05-14 01:04

Fun but a little frustrating. It feels weird to have this type of controls on a mario game.

gdateam 2013-05-14 01:54

Deceptively difficult (Which is good). Really liked the style all around. Makes you miss the dpad a bit.
