This is a really great clone. My only criticisms are that:

• Mario runs perhaps a little to fast for my personal taste.
• If you're copying the first level layout, make that middle platform jumpable.
• Make it either bigger or fullscreenable

Also, you don't need to say the game is property of Nintendo, just the characters.

other than this the game is awesome and I can't wait for the finsihed project

It's really nice. It controls a little too stiffly, I think... like when you want to start moving the opposite direction. But perhaps this is just me. It also felt a bit busy on the second level (didn't play past that), so maybe spreading out the enemies a bit more would help.

It looks nice and plays nice. I hope you finish it. :]

It's pretty good. I agree on the stiffy-nes, but the screen size seems ok.

This is really good, I like the engine. Really liked it. Listen to what I say: DO NOT
CHANGE THE ENGINE. It is perfect, I normally don't say this, but that felt ... really
good to play. The stiffness made it feel crisp and clean, plus it felt good to kick
those spineys as fast as you could. Good job, it almost felt professional.

Thanks a lot! I hope every one who plays completes phase 10.

Wow! This is just amazing! Custom sprites make good eye candy!
By the way, the music in the first phase, which game is it from?

10 levels on a first demo is a lot! Wow.

Well the phases don't take a lot of work to make so I'll have a whole bunch in the the final game. There is a boss in phase 10 and 2 bonus levels right now, those take a little more effort than the regular levels.

As for the first level music, its from Mario Paint for the SNES.

bump...

Kinda a massive bump.

Anyway the game feels too linear tbh
I know that the classic Mario Bros. was linear as hell but that shouldn't stop you from spicing it up
Sure you did that with the few minigames, but I didn't reach that far before I got bored

Yeah I said I was planning on making it less linear with branching paths, is there anything else I should do?

Found a bug (see attachment)

This happened on the world 2. Right after the red coins bonus.
The enemy got STUCK in that pipe. I was not able to defeat it. It wouldn't move anywhere. I tried the [POW] block but that did not work either.

That demo is super old I know all the glitches for it. Here's the page for it on the main site.

Hey, I've just completed the demo from last year yesterday.

Awesome game...

Oh wow....... No wonder this is a confusing topic. I just realized the post before your "BUMP" was WAY back from 2007. (X_X)

Why the bump? Are you still working on this I take it? (o_O)

Sorry everybody, I just wanted to post some screen shots and some information but I didn't want make a new topic for it so I bumped this instead I guess I'll just go ahead and make it a new thread next time.

I remember this (pretty hard to forget a game one has reviewed) and really liked it. I think that the next phase should depend on how (well) you completed the last one (under certain time limit, without dieing etc...).

Multiplay? That's very cool.

EDIT: Bumping your old topic is allowed, if you update your game, not just beg for attention.

^this.

I don't want anyone whining over people bumping their own topics if it's for updating reasons.
Also, rev, you should actually have some updates then. So far I haven't seen any
(Unless these three screens in the first post are your updates. You might want to make it more obvious what you added, by posting "bump... I just added [x] new screenshots in the first post")

whoa, nice ;O This is gonna be awesome.
