Minigame Comp #25 - Underwater Madness!, But yeah top five voting's started

PM/AOL me if it's broken, because I use Dial-up.

Attached File ( Number of downloads: 33 )
 MarioSea.exe

Is there music in this game? Because I can't hear any, but that could well be the stupid computer problem I'm having (see the Help! board for what I'm talking about).

Also, I got stuck in the wall at one point. I'm not sure how I did it. Mario wasn't really inside the wall, but he was immobilized.

EDIT:

@Yoshiman: Regardless of what trouble I'm having playing your entry, the trouble won't influence my voting, since you say it works ordinarily on other computers.

I sure wish I could figure out why the arrows usually don't show up, however.

Well, it works.
It's a bit too hard though. And it does'nt look much like water. Mario's movemen't also don't seem waterish. Other than that it's good!

I still want to see the specs of your computer, I'm intrigued by this error.


PM me them.

If a water BG, subs, squids, Mario with dive gear and ferns aren't watery, sue me :P

Also, I based this game off of one of Metal Slug 3's water levels. (hence Mario with a gun, scuba gear and the bombs he fires, plus the subs' attacks are based off the Morden subs attacks.) So don't be sad if it's a little hard.

@Grant: Yes, it does have sound.

I'm not a fan of that background. It's fun, but it needs some replay value. Try implementing a scoreboard somehow.

My entry topic:

I'll be sure to try it out, Mariotroid.


OK, major question:

Exactly when was the Top 5 voting planned to start? I noticed that in my time zone the competition itself started at 10:42 PM on April 4th, so is the comp ending around the same time tomorrow (April 30th)? It really does pain me to snatch at technicalities like this; it's just that my brother unexpectedly has a guitar recital today and my parents really want me to come along and see him play, and I have 3 more levels of my comp entry to design. I would have just tried and gotten the entry done before the 30th (i.e., before tonight), but unfortunately that isn't an option for me now, since the levels take a long time to design.

So, uh, yeah. Is it OK if the Top 5 voting doesn't start until lateish in the day tomorrow - the same time of day at which the comp started on April 4?

Again, I really don't like to ask, but it's become pretty much necessary for me to request something of this sort if I'm going to get my entry done. Also, please note that this isn't an extension of time I'm requesting. Basically I'm asking that a technicality be observed.

Enter! (Link Fixed)

Super Mario - 3D Swimmer.
I hurried up a bit and so it's not how I wanted it to be (you know, school and stuff).
Well, here it is. I hope you like it nevertheless!

The link doesn't work...

EDIT: Whoops, looked at fangame discussion and saw the topic. But still, I think that link is wrong.

FINISHED! FINALLY!

That was close. I had only a little sleep last night because of working on it.

Yet another Awesome entry! Great Work Grant!

Only one complaint: Because of the view, it's hard to see few inches ahead.

Heh, you have a point.

Unfortunately, though, I don't see how I could fix it now, if there's a way of fixing it without changing the gameplay; the comp ends later today.

Hopefully anyone else who hasn't finished their entries will make it on time. I'm glad Guinea got done with his, because I was wondering if he'd forgotten about the comp or had had to scrap his entry.

Sorry for the double post, but does anyone else have the same problem that Mariotroid mentioned here? The HUD in my game does show up for me, and I don't have any idea why it isn't showing up on his computer.

Okay so like 2 hours 'til the comp ends.

Anyone who wants to quickly finish off something or change their game a little should do so now.

Oh my god, I have 1 hour, I probably won't make it...

Yeah uh sorry but you're late.

Now I need to list all the entrants.

Now if I forgot someone let me know.

Vote for the ones YOU want to be in the Top 5. So you vote for 5 people, no voting for yourself.

There's also Ultramario's, Kyli the hedgehog's, Yoshiman & Mario Gamer's, and Dracon's.

Also, ShadowMan said he withdrew earlier in this topic.


EDIT: Not sure if Kyli's counts or not, since she said she used Supertoad2k's old How-To "as a reference".

Also, the topic title could be edited to indicate that Top 5 voting is going on.

And no offense, of course, but you forgot to change the date for the Final Voting in the first post when you added 10 days to the comp. In my opinion the Top 5 voting ought to end early on May 4, since it's already May 1 for me and probably almost May 1 for you.


EDIT2: Added links for the names I added above.

Holy cripes, these are a lot of entries.
The winner can definitely be happy this time and even if you only make it to the Final Voting, those badges have a high value in this one =)

TEN ENTRIES! Ever had so many? Not sure...

Yes. The 16th competition had ten entries as well.

Farewell, My votes:
