Quite good fun, but gets a bit repetitive as it's easy to hit the plumber once you get the hang of it. Nice graphics & sound!

gigaraptor 2015-08-24 02:20

Its repetitive, but its quite fun at the same time

yellowlime 2015-08-24 02:43

Nice pixel art! The game itself is ok, but the music didn't play for me.

dollarone 2015-08-24 02:53

Excellent theme implementation. I feel bad for all the Koopa's I've killed over the years now!

Awesome graphics, really like it.

alarisilver 2015-08-24 03:29

It's sorta like Flappy Bird: it repeats over and over and over but you just want to get to the next high score.

gafblizzard 2015-08-24 04:03

I'm afraid it would take too long to get to 100, especially with the score resetting. I am not turtle enough. :P

Nice art! Looks like something that would be on the Game Boy Advance.

mortus 2015-08-24 14:01

That's hilarious! Gotta get that 100 score though.

techblogogy 2015-08-24 15:31

Fun and additive. Pixel art is good.
Overall this game is quite good

terop 2015-08-24 17:43

nice graphics... i couldnt exactly understand how the controls worked, but otherwise it looks nice.

pta2002 2015-08-24 18:44

Super hard, super fun, and a bit repetitive. I can't get past 3 :I

Another Mario-inspired entry where you play a turtle! We clearly had the best idea.

I thought you nailed the art and music style. It was very humorously satisfying to pull off a successful hit.

I appreciated how he changed up the jump occasionally, so it wasn't simply a game about hitting the timing perfectly without anything else going on. The challenge to get to 100 points, while simple, adds some replay value for the completionists, and was a smart idea.

karai17 2015-08-25 04:03

Ha! Very cute idea, I liked it. :) Plumbers psyching me out though... Frustrating! :P

wg_phancock 2015-08-25 04:04

I enjoy the "play as bad guy" style coming out of this LD. The mario-like graphics look pretty well done.

lukezaz 2015-08-25 06:15

Looks good and plays well, but its rather frustrating to lose your score so easily and the waiting between each try is too long.

guoboism 2015-08-25 12:02

Nice game. Fits the theme. Looking from the eye of little monster. Waiting for a mario to come.
Graphics and sound nicely done!

jupiter_hadley 2015-08-25 14:05

Great graphics, simple, fun, challenging game! I included it in part 2 of my Ludum Dare 33 Compilation video series, if you would like to take a look :) https://youtu.be/ml0OKpi-I0Y

hive-interactive 2015-08-25 15:00

I enjoyed squashing plumbers. Great job!

druid 2015-08-25 15:08

After a while, little boring. But this one have a big potential to be mobile hit!

sinclairstrange 2015-08-25 15:21

Overall a lovely little game, very fun, I could see people sinking in a lot of time to get high scores. The pixel work is fantastic too, very good!

sojabird 2015-08-25 15:23

Haha fun little game well worked out.
Cool take on the theme

ellian 2015-08-25 15:31

Damn, hitting ugly mario is SO satisfying!
I love the attention to details, like the turtle that goes walking quietly when it lands... awesome.

pizzamakesgames 2015-08-25 15:33

Games using the already established popularity of well-known characters always start with a huge bonus. Most of the time, there is nothing beyond that bonus. It's nice, but strip away the mario and it's really short-lived.

ulydev 2015-08-25 17:30

Really fun !

sararycow 2015-08-25 18:45

Simple but effective game. Beautiful graphics!

superfreak 2015-08-25 22:39

Cheeky bugger. Really enjoyed the idea, great work :)

dalbinblue 2015-08-26 00:20

This reminds me a lot of the game "Spike Trap: A Love Story" though a bit simpler due to the time constraint. I love how this game is oozing with style, and it was fun but did get repetitive pretty quickly. I am however pleased to see your entry supports pretty much any platform available.

radiolemon 2015-08-26 01:52

Very well polished and difficult

uvwar 2015-08-26 02:13

Frustrating but 'fun'!

el-pepi 2015-08-26 02:26

Very funny and original! The pixel art is great and I really like the music.

chrismcmath 2015-08-26 16:54

Great sound and charming art

stanov 2015-08-26 19:37

Just great. Good looking, great graphics, great music. And revenge for Mario. Muhehehe :)

archonthewizard 2015-08-26 20:19

Great idea. The art and sound were done well. Really liked the idle animation for "not-mario". Got boring once I got the mechanic down, though.

realize2d 2015-08-26 23:13

Great concept!

theziggy 2015-08-27 21:31

Really addicting and fun! I'm going to be spending way too many hours trying to get a score of 100.

onionblitz 2015-08-28 06:10

The art and the music are both very good! 100 points might be too much with all this waiting though. :P Aside from that, good job with this! More variations would make this even better in case you decide to expand on it. :D

slothmachine 2015-08-28 11:24

Hehe. Really funny graphics. Nice twist to the mario games.

dat_not_my_game 2015-08-29 12:03

Nice!

tacospice 2015-08-30 14:30

Really awesome. After a while though, once you get the reaction skill necessary, it starts to feel pretty slow.
I only got up to 9 though :( I wanted to see if more cool things happen later, but.. it takes so long, even if it's not too difficult. Like, you start counting minutes instead of your score.

I don't have a good suggestion though for how to tweak it without ruining the gameplay already in place.

Anyway. Amazing graphics! Really great. Pretty good sound and music too. Simple idea that really works, besides the point above, which I nevertheless consider fairly minor.

firetwin 2015-08-31 13:01

Cool idea, this would be great on smart devices with touch screens. I enjoyed it, it's just a little slow for my liking. Needs speeding up to be a great, quick game to play on the bus. Good job.

mubox 2015-08-31 15:39

It's fun. :]

bombjack 2015-09-02 18:53

There's a turtle... she's ugly... everything's in the name :)
I really like the mario under influence ;p very punitive and fun gameplay.

vikingpotato 2015-09-03 06:46

Cute and entertaining entry! Loved the soundtrack. Would work great on a touchscreen device

boaheck_artgent 2015-09-07 15:02

Lot's of fun but I couldn't tell when I died. Overall a very cool game well done, I would love a version for my phone.

taro 2015-09-10 23:19

Pretty cool. Got up to score 10. The game can be quite stressful as you start to score higher.

I feel like the presentation, while beautiful in its own way, doesn't quite fit the gameplay. The hold'em up minigames are usually presented in a super-tense way, so I kind of wanted a more tense experience. I do, though, like that the Mario aesthetic gives an excuse to add extra curve-balls into the mix, such as a fake-off.
