Super Mario Bros: Shine Pursuit, Shine Collecting Game

Actually, I haven't played all of Hello's games, but I must say that this one has some pretty brilliant gameplay concepts. The first level (the only one I've played so far) has some great level design (except for the fact that in my opinion P-switches should be in infinite supply in certain areas because lack of them can result in being trapped and having to kill yourself), and also perhaps the difficulty could be toned down a bit. However, I couldn't play this game for long because of being very frustrated with the goddamn lag. That's the part of this game that needs fixing the most.

Well, the only flaw with his games are the SMB3 16-bit graphics he constantly uses. Maybe if he changed those, his games would look more original.

Hello you must learn to listen to what people are saying, we said this a dozen of time already that you need different graphics at least, and that you should ad da new move or something like that. Don't ignore what those guys are saying, because you posted your game to hear what they like and whatnot.
Your games are looking very odd, and if you release a few more games like this no one will bother to play your other games because they are the same.

That and a number of them are "collect X amount of Y to move on to Level Z".

And what's with the choice of MP3s? I'm not harping on you to use Mario MP3s, but these are entirely too dramatic for some of the stages you used them on.

I actually thought the music was gewd

I think this game is pretty good. I was a little skeptical of it when I first played it, it was too hard, but now I love it!

Where's the music from anyway?

The music is from Sonic for the 360/PS3.
There are new moves.(Picking up vegetables.)
The engine has only been used 3 times(Including this game)

hello.....they are not talking about the engine, please read the posts, they are talking about the "Sprites".

What he said.

Use different graphics for mario and the enemies at least once like in this game.

too critical, you guys are

this is very enjoyable and much less linear than hello's norm

Crap, forgot to comment on the music.

The music wasn't bad in and of itself, but in my opinion it didn't fit a Mario game at all. Mario music may be able to vary a lot, but in ordinary in-game scenarios it tends to have a fairly fun, light-hearted, happy feel to it. And there are almost never electric guitars in Mario music, particularly not to the extent that they're used in the map screen music. To put it briefly and bluntly: I think the music choice was bad for the game.

Also, now that I've played it more, I realized that the difficulty really is extreme, and there are some bugs and level design flaws that definitely need ironing out because they can screw up things majorly. It seems like I often can't even beat the first level because I accidentally do something that gets me trapped in the level - for example, if I waste a P-switch (this has happened both because I at first didn't realize that P-switches shouldn't be wasted - levels should be able to be beaten the first time through, regardless of the fact that you're unfamiliar with the layout at first - and because once a P-switch got flattened for no reason as I kicked it, and the blocks/coins didn't change. Also if you get hit after getting the mushroom at the start of the level, and haven't broken the bricks yet that block the next part of the room, you'll be trapped as well. Given these facts, as well as the huge lag and the tons of backtracking needed in the level, the result of playing the game can often be having to restart after playing the first level for what seems like an incredibly long time, which is very highly frustrating.

I still think the concept is good, though, and I still want to get further in the game because I want to check out how you accomplished the Chomp's AI.


LATER EDIT: Finally got to a Chomp. I see it's programmed the "simple" way.

One other thing I feel I should mention: Those minigames are very interesting in concept, but I think they would be better if they were just optional - being made to play through them each time you go through the game makes the game take forever.

Better than most of your games i actually enjoyed it but was very frustating,you can easily get locked in a level til time over(if it works),also the music used was not really fitting the levels.The lag is not exactly the games fault but more of your computers/laptop,cause I experienced no lag.

No, it is a problem with the game, because it executes inefficiently, therefore being slow on many computers. And there are plenty of games which run fine on my computer, including ones with large levels.

Understand things before posting about them, pls.

I'll keep that in mind.Also Hello as many said you need to change the graffix cause it's kind of abusing smb3(16bit)graffix.

Just because the graphics are used a lot doesn't make them bad.

Updated!

Even if you're right, a lot of people disagree, which will eventually hurt you in the end.

true it does not make them bad, but people are getting bored and if you keep using the same graphics nobody will play your games because there all to identical. if you change graphics, add new features etc.. people will enjoy your games much more then they do now.

But, you use the same mario and enemy ones every game, change them once at least.

@Grant The music not being mario music makes the game alot better actually, but yeah some of the puzzles and stuff make it impossible to complete the level also mingames and bounus should be optional.

The battle with Rawk Hawk, perhaps?
