Interesting. The music was really creepy (not sure if good or bad thing!). I almost stopped at the flag without realizing though...

happy wheels and super meat boy mash-up?

micle2000-2 2013-12-16 03:43

Nice feel to it, the audio was good too.

interesting concept :)

Very cool! The platforming was solid, and easy to control even on a keyboard! (On a 360 controller, the movement is mapped to the triggers, though) I really liked the mood; the music and block silhouettes made the game a bit feel creepy, but the atmosphere really piqued my curiosity!

Really cool idea to use the first SMB level ! Great concept, I like it, the music/ambiance is mysterious I like it.

Very inspired take on the theme. I enjoyed this one a lot!

Wonderful stuff! Really atmospheric and much more than it appears. Enjoyed it a bunch. 4 rubies, 48 coins, 1 key. :)

nice platformer, very professional desing. Good entry.

eddm 2013-12-16 15:31

Very, very clever. Lovely aesthetic paired with great music, and a very solid platforming mechanic. Nice work

Nice game, its really atmospheric and dark. You've got a really solid platforming engine here, and the level design was fun to play, being challenging, but not too difficult.

This is amazing. Best LD game I've played/rated as of yet. In many ways this is a perfect platform game without any flaws. The save points were just right, not too easy, not too hard. Progressing by collecting skills is a great tutorial. Level design really gave me the feeling of wonder and exploration, music was suitably creepy. Love that you used the Mario level but made it black, felt like I was trapped in some kind of evil alternate Mario universe. When I dropped down I thought "oh it's just repeating the same level" but then I realised the spikes were there. When the game ended I was disappointed... I wanted more!

Overall, fantastic entry, and was really amazed as it felt like you had a large team of playtesters working for months to get the gameplay this tight. Good job!

Nice! I really liked the feel, the length and the mood.

Pros:
- I liked the green/black color scheme for the environment
- The audio was great, and helped the mood.
- I liked the expansion of the level.

Cons:
- The controls were a little awkward
- The main character had too much color (when compared to the rest of the game)

Ahhh! This game is great! Fantastic music, and most of all I love how clean of a platformer this is! Great job!

Visual style is nice. I had issues when trying to use a PS4 controller, both native and using a program that makes it work like an Xbox360 controller.

capitals 2013-12-17 13:37

Slight graphical bug! But enjoyable never the less.

venks 2013-12-17 16:31

Haha. Really nice interpretation of the theme. I have this whole level memorized like the back of my hand. Pretty solid stuff.

diptoman 2013-12-17 16:56

Atmospheric, I like that. Platformer's pretty standard though, nothing new there, but it was solid (and rather frustrating). Overall, very cool.

codecranker 2013-12-18 01:44

Very interesting. Definitely a keeper, will try to finish it later. The overall feeling of the game is just wonderful.

ditto 2013-12-18 09:35

really great mood, music and graphics fits really well together, I am really shitty at sadistic platformers though, :(

pinkmonkeyhead 2013-12-18 16:04

7:2 38 deaths, 4 rubes, 32 coins, 1 key.
The game was a little bit creepy for my taste but even like this it kept me playing till the end so awesome game indeed

chrismingay 2013-12-18 20:19

Anyone else having issues with the download link for Windows? isn't working for me :o

chrismingay 2013-12-18 20:19

scrap that. Working now!

pixelfan 2013-12-20 11:21

Great game. Graphics are simple, but they works really good with your game. Music is simply awesome. It keeps me all time at tensio, and the idea about get the abilities one by one works fine when you advance with the game. Great game

alanzucconi 2013-12-20 12:53

I don't have a controller, unfortunately hehe! :)
The graphics reminds me of "One and One Story".

arrogant-gamer 2013-12-21 22:28

I will have to say that of the ~40 LD games I've rated so far, this one is going to get the highest rating. Such a great mariotroid-vania! I loved unlocking the helmet and double jump. I expected more back-tracking, but enjoyed all the spikes anyway. 48 coins 4 rubies.

Oreganik 2013-12-22 00:31

9:43, 45 deaths. nooice.

mmickyman 2013-12-25 10:15

I didn't think at first I was going to playing it for so long, usually I dislike going back and forth. But your replay mechanic (a la super meat boy, as others say) keep me playing. Good job.

Inusual way to use the theme btw ahah.

cappelnord 2014-01-04 17:51

Awesome and very thoughtful level design and a lot of content for a 48h comp. Also a great soundtrack.

cardboard 2014-01-05 08:36

7:40, 19 deaths, 4 rubies, 331 coins, and 3 keys :D Great game, although I too almost stopped at the flag before realizing I had to drop down the hole to keep playing. The gameplay is solid and the atmosphere is sufficiently somber.
