Mario '85

Tried my hand at doing MX yaya. He's only 32 by 32, hence the size.

Hey there

big scary mario bro game,,,

anyways; here's some fan art for the fat man :P

Is there no ending in 1-2 yet?

I think in terms of atmosphere this game nails it, but the main issue really REALLY is the gameplay and the physics, like it feels as if I was playing a Sonic game with Mario level design.

Luigi takes too long to start moving at reasonable speeds, making jumps over gaps very hard or outright impossible without building up your speed beforehand. The same issue happens when changing direction while at high speeds. The character takes too long to properly change directions, which works in the initial section before the chase (Though BARELY), but it's a nightmare in the chase proper, making it extremely infuriating to play that thing, especially with how long it goes on for.

My recommendation is to have the initial speed not be zero when pressing left or right (Though that might make it feel a bit off so take that with a grain of salt I am NOT a game dev) and increase the speed reduction when changing directions (Or just increase the acceleration of the direction, which IMO is probably the best solution) bc this is very clunky and hard to play (Which has also proven to not just be the case with me bc of playthroughs similar to LuigiKid's), or, alternatively, change the level design to match the physics.

It's a big problem, and, hell, I couldn't beat the first actual challenge and I tried for very very long. Please fix it, that's really the only issue I have.

Hopefully it's fixed soon, bc that's literally the ONLY thing holding the game back from being genuinely awesome! (And actually fun to play for once, differently from these exe-like walking boredom simulators we've had for years)

That said, good luck to you guys, bc it's turning out very good visually and atmospherically, and I hope I didn't bring down your spirits too much with this little critique of mine, I really just want to help make it more fun to play and less of a rage game as it currently feels like to me.

God bless and good luck!
