Well it got boring pretty fast.

Atleast add more attacks to Mario and Baby Bowser.

OK, i might do that.

Does anyone like the overall graphics and gameplay, though?

Graphics are ok I guess> As for Gameplay there needs to be more going on besides two character sprites, a background and mountain.

Another thing is to add a hud to show HP.

OK, I will work on it when I get back from mini golfing.

V2 IS HERREE!!!

Check first post for update.

Added things:

Yoshis now spectate the fight.

New HUD.

The boss has a new attack. Be careful, it isnt the easiest thing to guard against!

Like Datt said, the battle gets pretty boring half way through. You're more or less, just trading 1-2 HP blows between each other, using two different attacks (which, as you actually said, are basically the same thing, except Jump is vertical while Koopa Slide is horizontal).

The Koopa Shell attack could probably use a different method of getting an "Ok" rather than just hitting at the exact moment the attack hits. Heck. You could even do something like give a charge meter, and when you let go in the right spot, it does extra damage, and upon hitting the enemy, it deals extra damage.

Basically, add extra attacks (so you aren't just blocking the same ones), but give them variety. Baby Bowser shouldn't just be about shooting fireballs of various colors. He could be doing ground pounds, or throwing bombs.

Last thing: Why give the attack and guard buttons different buttons? I think it would be far more convenient just to put them on a single button.

Thank you for the review.

Paragraph 1:K', i will try to add more stuff to make it exciting.

Paragraph 2: I have something in mind for shell skate.

Paragraph 3: PREPARE YOURSELF FOR A ENEMY ATTACK OF SOME SORTS!

Last thing: i ran into i weird glitch that forced you to use jump.

V3 Comin' soon.

Info for V3

-Mario will have a HP value of 14 instead of 12.
-charge meter
-New mechakoopa attack for boss.
-a new background

please make suggestions on what else to add.

I'd really like to see multiple attacks.

So, more for mario, youre saying?

Cause 3 attacks is a good amount for one enemy.

Yes, but I'd also like the attacks to be smoother. When mario jumps, he goes straight up, disappears, then falls on the enemy. I'd like to see more of a smooth, jumping motion.

OK.

Anyone else have some pros and cons they want to share with me?

Just expanding on Fez's idea, most of the animation should look fluid. Not just Mario's jumping, but for a few of the attacks in general.

For Mario's jump, you could probably just have him either jump towards the enemy, or walk to the enemy, then jump on their heads. It'll be more visually pleasing, and may aid in helping you get a better timing on the action buttons.

Ok.


By the way I might be turning this engine into a RPG.
