Run away, Mario!, Minigame comp. entry

Help Mario get away from Wario, who's driving his car in an attempt to run over Mario! Go find Luigi to get him to help you!

Screenshots:

First level, use this time to figure out Mario's jumping capabilities.


Higher areas are generally safer.


Keep going, Mario!


Read the help file shown at the beggining for controls. If you get stuck, which rarely happens, press R to restart.

The fact that the game automatically stops when you hit a while when you're above Wario really takes away from the sense of urgency in the game, but I can't think of a way to fix it.

Also...
Spoilers:

The game crashed during the ending with the Goomba. Are you supposed to be able to jump over it?

...and its interesting! 9/10. I would give you a 10/10 but the ghost house was damn hard.. I'll vote for that ;D.

Keep up the good work.


EDIT: Download that, people! Its fun!

I liked it!
Although bowsers castle was esier than the boo mansion

It shouldn't crash. It's supposed to be a surpirse ending, then the game restarts. D:

As for the sense of urgency, I could add a Big Boo that appears if you try to stop above Wario that disapears when he moves...

I'll try and make it harder, then.

I think it would be better if Mario's jump height was variable. As it is, it makes it difficult to time jumps correctly.

Maybe I'll do that. I just gotta work on figuring exactly what numbers to make variables and what to keep as set. BRB.

That was very fun, but I have two problems with it.
1. The tiles in room 3 and 4 don't stick out enough! I could hardly see if I was supposed to jump or not.
2. Now I have no chance of winning the compo. >:(
^Just Kidding, I'll probably not even enter.

SUGGESTIONS:
1. Add power-ups. (MAYBE)
2. Add coins, this will make it allot more fun.
3. Add a highscore table, you lose maybe 15 points for each death and get a point for each coin collected, good idea?

This is a good game, actually. I'm not at all sure I can top it.

I really need to get to work more on my entry, though, or I won't even be able to submit it.

I was going to do something like this. If i do it will be a rip off.
Good, no great minigame.

What a goofy concept! It's a nice game, and very cool, but it does get a little tough in some areas. For instance, in the ghost house area, I jumped and got caught between two invisible blocks. I couldn't jump or anything... It's still a good entry!

You can go right ahead, as long as it doesn't use the same graphics, music and ending. :P

I'm going to make my own ripoff too, but with additions. I'm not going to submit it to the competition, though.
I'll add a lot of stuff.

Damn it.

So... are you going to add coins?

Best ending ever.

Nah, I think it's fine as is.

I had hoped someone would like it.
