So, in this Yoshi game, you follow the mouse and throw eggs and stuff, but that's where the question comes in. So, you got it? Answer the poll and yeah that's cool.

Could I see some screenshots, so that I know what I'm dealing with in the game?

This is the original engine, however, I may switch it to side-scrolling if this poll proves everyone wants (which I think is probably gonna happen).

This can be good just add some good music and a lot of powerups.

Thank you, JesseRoo. I agree with Boomb.

-------------

Here is another thought. If you are doing top-view, maybe you want to add some grain to the background to make it appear more realistic (if that is supposed to be sand)

Solid color = ew, by the way. Get some sort of pattern.

It looks more original as it is. If it were side-scrolling it would be too much like Yoshi's Island.

But yeah, get a tileset.

If you are still working on your gradius game(?) you'd might want to make it vertical-scrolling, to make it different.

A new beta is out, click on the banner for more infomations.

An attempt to recreate mario bros 3's engine perfectly with some values taken directly from the rom and it is open source

Give it a try, even if it's open source, the levels are original and fun..

I've started a new topic because the other one died of inactivity. Don't let this one die.

Here's the last video, with the original 1-1 level and three new levels

The background is only beta.. I haven't even started working on it yet. And by side-scrolling, I mean like the same as that screenshot, but with him going right not up, not a platformer.

It isn't, I'm just saying that it would be better to have a more original engine.

ok, well a side scroller is usually something like gradius(which you already know) and a vertical scroller is like this game

Or it's not the kind of game you are talking about? If not well, moving left-right is what I meant.
