if you stop holding ctrl while running up that wall you go a little down and i got stuck before that triangel thingie's, but i like the rest, and i'll like to see the rest of the moves.

Awsome. I see a great Mario engine coming!
What kind of sprites are you gonna use and does this run in 60 fps or 30 fps?

not bad. But slopes are.

Moving up is good, but when moving down, Mario loses the ground under his feet. Do something about it.

crud, M.U.S.H. compatition! Owell, you need moving platforms, a Mario must have.

Super Mario All Stars SMB3 Styled.

60.

Even if I fix it, it would be against the laws of physics.

I´ll add them on next update.

Actually, it would be quite simple. Just do a reverse of what you did for going up slopes, wouldn't that work?

When you jump off the top pipe, gravity decreases greatly.

Huh?

You like easiness, huh?

The fact that you CAN'T JUMP when you run down a slope is even more against the laws of physics, k?

The only mistakes I can see here is the running up slopes.

The camera goes pretty wierd (maybe you set it to always focus on Mario, instead of making an object to be focused on, which follows Mario).

Also, not being able to jump on the slopes sucks.

And acording to SMW, you shouldn't be able to stand right next to the triangle, and then run up it.

EDIT: But I'm impressed. It lacks something most engines carries around: Bugs and glitches.

Grab and throw objects is working well now.

Updated! check first post.

Will this be open source?

When you hold a koopashell close to that triangle thing and let it go, it warps through the wall.

You can throw Koopa Shells through the wall. For the rest, awesome.


EDIT: Damnit Soup.

Not yet, but you can PM me if you're super unpatient.

You can kick koopa shells to the right, but push them to the left, and the enemies should really reverse direction after they collide, but other than that, great job!

Dammit! I'll try to fix it.

EDIT: Man. What a cheap mistake.

so, does this try to mimic the gameplay of any game in paticular?
