SuPEr mARiO 2 dEMo

I started off wanting to make a simple 2-color Mario game, but the sprite I made 1-bit ended up looking really evil and futuristic, so thus I started to make a more evil and futuristic Mario game. Everything in this game will be 2 colors, one of them probably being white.

Basically, I made this engine to test my weapons system, which is different from the block-hitting norm. Basically, at the start of each level, you choose what powerup to use for that level. When you hit blocks, you get ammo for that weapon. The only weapons programmed right now are the Fire Flower, Starman, and Mushroom (which lets you jump on enemies), but I can see things like the Tanooki Suit or Cape being in later demos.

Instead of me describing this game in more detail and causing nobody to download it, just play the game and see for yourself. Space uses your current suit's special ability, control creates more goombas, and backspace brings you back to the select screen.

Thats
Awsome

But you should be able to be hurt.

Yeah, I just programmed this in about a half an hour and didn't really get how to do health. I was wondering whether to do the standard Mario shrink-then-die or go with a healthbar. To keep with the whole shooter theme, I'll probably go with the health bar. But I'll start working on that tomorrow.

Way too early for me to give proper criticism, but I'll say this, I definitely like the theme here.

I just added a health bar and ammo, both of which work pretty well in my opinion.

Sorry to double post, but I just added pipes AND semi-3D, which looks really cool and I am very proud of.

Very nice.
