Princess Daisy: Fugitive on the Run, The next fangame project of mine...

Yeah, I started creating games again, mainly because I have a lot fair amount of time to kill, despite having school and such that I need to get good marks in.

Story
In the vast scorched plains of Sarsaland, Daisy was taking a walk in the soft desert sand. She was on the run from Tantaga, who vowed to take over Sarsaland. Everyone had fallen under the wicked control of Tantaga, except Daisy.

She was weary and tired for the days of travelling on foot, but she had to put a end to the impending doom before it was too late.

Could she even the odds, or would she fall under the wicked control of Tantaga as well?

Developer's Comments
I had a lot of fun making the game, and I liked debugging the glitches that I made (mainly it was because the engine was a tad buggy).

The engine is based on the Princess Daisy Forever/DaisyEngine engine that you saw in my first demos before it was canned, and it's now powered by DaisyEngine3, a heavily modded version of the original game engine that started my game projects.

I think you'll enjoy it. The demos last 3 days, so yeah, enjoy it while you can. It's 100% compatible with Windows and Linux (via WINE), so that's no drama. Made in MMF2 Dev.

SSB Brawl also inspired me to work on the game, and yeah, without Brawl, the game would have been canned.

Controls
Arrow Keys: Move Daisy
Fire 1 (Shift): Select Menu Items/Jump
Fire 2 (Control): Go back in menus/Run/Shoot Fireball and other items

Suggestions are welcome. I know there's not much to do in the demo (mainly only one level), but I'll try to get a demo out for each level (I'm aiming for 6 Levels + 2 Hidden Levels). I'm also thinking about minigames and a Mario Bros clone starring Rosalina as a sub-game.

Look, I started doing the same Daisy sprite some time ago but with more strong colors like the SPP one. I could send you if you think it would look better.

EDIT: Talking about Rosalina, I started a SPP sprite of her, too, but it's unfinished just like the true-SPP Daisy one.

Downloaded and played.
Issues in order of finding:
- When going down a pipe, you can stand on the very left (and I'm assuming right, too) and Daisy's cut through in the middle by the pipe. Ouch.
- Daisy can break the blue blocks by touching them from the sides, but only when jumping.
- Koopas get insta-kicked when jumping on them. But not always.
- Red Koopa shells refuse to fall off platforms. I have never seen them do that in any game and it doesn't make much sense.

Other than that it's alright.
Just don't make a regular Mario engine with a Daisy sprite. Add some Daisy specific moves, unless you're already going to do that.

In addition to Guinea's finds, I have also found than you can get Mushrooms to go inside of blocks. All I know about how that happened is that the Mushroom, for some reason, only came halfway out of the ? Block.

You could have slightly edited the sprites, cause right now they don't go well.

Thanks for the comments.

Mushrooms have very crappy collison detection. I must have slipped up on a event there to "push" the mushroom out of the box.

As for Drezus, I accept the offer. Just email it to my email address.

Strange how people use my old tileset, but not my new. Anyway, good game!

Why daisy? Oh, and do you have a youtube account

You haven't known Super Deluxe Mario long enough. He's determined to make sure Daisy gets lead role treatment on the fangame end. ^_^

As for the game itself; tried out the demo, and it's got potenial here. A lot of it. Let's just hope you stick with it all the way and give us a final full version of this thing.

Thanks guys (and girls).

I just thought I'd update the status of the project. It's going well, I'm coding a Air Meter that depletes while you're underwater. If it's empty, you'll take damage or drown (as in just die). I'm rethinking the latter, but I was thinking of taking damage when you're out of air.

@Gamesmonkey: Many people think Daisy is a Peach clone and blah blah blah. I could argue why she isn't, but I'm not in the mood. And plus, how many games have Peach/Daisy in the lead role treatment? Nana, Zip, None (except one or two). Mainly most of them have Mario/Luigi as the main character.
