Luigi's Game, a game about Luigi

Hey look, my old Peach sprites and SMA2 Luigi recolors!

I simply cannot describe how this game is. I don't know if I should call it clever, or just weird.

it's supposed to feel incredibly generic at first, which is why I also chose the name "Luigi's Game" which is about as generic of a name as you can get. It's not supposed to have incredibly interesting gameplay elements as the atmosphere is meant to catch the player. You definitely do not play this game for the interesting gameplay, and that was the intention all along. If you've seen some of my previous games, you will know that I am quite able to make interesting gameplay elements, but this time I chose not to. The game is intentionally kept simple all the way through (which is why there's no crouch). The 'no backwards sprite' issue is a choice of mine.

The only problem I see is the walk animation sometimes freezing when you die.

Difficulty did not even come into my play through of the game, dying and respawning seemed a novelty of this obvious arty type game.


Play harder games.

I saw this game on tSR and like before I said it's best ever.

Let us not get on the subject of tSR.

well ok.

Well, that was certainly a new idea for a fangame. It was very different from the norm. The music and graphics actually sort of worked well to create a good atmosphere for the game. The gameplay COULD have been a bit nicer, but I know that wasn't what you were making it for in the first place so it's acceptable.

Deep, immersive, and thought provoking. Truly a masterpiece.

How long did it take you to make the game?

this game is really good. and backgroundmusic is .. relaxing XD

I love the spy sounds for the goomba's

This is god in game form.

It's amazing how you mixed depressing music with old nes sounds and made it so great!

Very nice game. It featured some amazing graphical effects, while still fitting the competition theme.

My favourite part of the game is the Peach scene. Very clever.
this post makes me feel very strange

The only problem I had is when you first time vs Bowser.
The Goomba never came and I had to kill myself to get it.

super frustrating, it was

that last fight was pretty boring, tedious and frustrating. i would have liked a hint, at least, with the jumping

music choice was different and nice

graphics were pretty good

overall gameplay was nice

"O.K." job over all

...


I can see someone has been playing Braid.

Also:

I really don't get why you guys, even MechaBowser himself, are accepting a less-than-perfect game and making excuses for it by way of the "competition rules". I have read and re-read the O.P. of the competition topic and don't see, anywhere, a rule that the game has to be crappy. All I see is a limit on certain graphics of the game. I like that idea, but I don't see how that, graphics, one aspect of the many involved in the success or failure of a game, can be used as an excuse and scapegoat for other, non-related problems. JBL had completely reasonable issues for the game, and he was even POLITE and CONSTRUCTIVE with his comments (isn't that what we all cry for?). It's pretty ridiculous seeing all the defending and excuses-making going on which is essentially negating someone's opinion (is that really right?).

yes, this is heavily Braid inspired, but I didn't want to put it in the first post as it would sort of ruin it for people who have played Braid.

yes and that is extremely nice, ty JBL but a complaint about lack of gameplay elements on a game that is not designed to be exciting on that point is... more or less useless? I mean it's good you mention your frustration with the boss since I didn't have that problem, and that just means there's something that needs to be done. But I am not going to create 8 worlds of exciting gameplay - that's not the purpose of the game at all.

in regard to the minigame compo: I can't control what people make, there is no requirements for games (which is both good and bad) that goes into the minigame compo. Simply just don't vote for those you don't think are appropriate?
