Yeah, but you didn't tell them. (the rules of said comp)

Now there are no limits.
Try (atleast) to recolor something.
To make it fit better.

Example: You castle background is very grey red and the castle tiles are very grey blue. (low sat, but there's sat)
These won't fit and look horrible.
Open both with photoshop and adjust the hue to make them the same, or
decrease the sat to 0 on both.
Another problem would be the shading style.
NSMB ultra-3d tiles plus SNES castle background, cartoony, dithered = won't fit.
Try to make everything fit, or this won't be a game, just a fluently animated game idea that looks a bit like an actual game, plus cool effects.

Forget it, some people (who don't care about graphics) will always vote for you.

the contrast is an intentional added effect to fit a desired style

hence why the shadow transition is so direct

That's actually a rad effect which I didn't respond to.

It's actually the only thing that makes the styles fit a bit at the moment, so keep it.

Cause I'm making mine inside, but you view the whole castle at all times.

Yes, it is, but there are a few exceptions about cutscenes and title screens.

...Check the original post for all the rules.

Damn. I think my entry should still be allowed, I'll show a mock-up of what my idea is.

So basically, it takes place inside the castle, but you're seeing it from an outside view?

First of all, I love how creative people are being with this concept (enough so that the rules have become confusing), second of all... I don't see why that wouldn't be acceptable, but...

I didn't start this comp, and I'm still not clear on the limitations of the rules.

I'm going to say it's okay, but if you wouldn't mind PMing me the basic plot/gameplay of the game, then I can give it an official pass. -------------------- my character

Indeed there is.

Just as a note to people who haven't thought of an idea - you don;t have to be attacking or defending a castle, think of all the many other things that can/have been done in castles.

Anyway, after developing a sudden obsession with the Phoenix Wright series, and thus, leaving the Mario fangame scene for a while, I've returned to enter: BreakDown My first game that I've actually released. Plot and controls ingame, press F1. I know I have no chance of winning, I'm just entering for laughs. (Guess which game the music is from, get a cookie.)
