Skypop Scarmble (first demo), Hoping to fix issues in this demo...

http://www.sendspace.com/file/ean8qz

This is my first decent fangame that i've been working on. You can play as Mario so far, and go through one level. There's even a boss(Bowser) to fight.

Issues I hope to god I can fix:

- Change Bowser's missile projectile sprites to fireball ones.
- Give Bowser more HP.
- A couple of collision issues.

Also, I am planning on doing a character select screen with playable Weegee, but I have no idea how to get it set up. My main problems would be setting up an object that makes it so when it goes to the level itself, if you chose Mario you play as him, but if you pick a different character, you play as them instead. Can anybody help me with that?

Well anyways, info, instructions and credits are listed in the read me file included. If you could tell me about any bugs or issues, or you'd like to make suggestions for things I could do to improve the game, that would be awesome.

Well then, hope you enjoy what i've done so far, and tell me what ya think, ok? :3

the readme doesn't work. Try making it a .txt or something. I tried but well, it refuses to work D:

I'll comment about your game when I finish it in a few minutes

to be quite honest, it was fun at first but then it got boring. AND I ONLY GOT TO THE BOWSER FIGHT BY DYING. Which took forever! I died because I was about to close the window.

The enemies should have a different sound effect when they shoot and hit mario.

The bowser fight, oh wow lets get started on that. It was good. But there was alot missing. Bowser should have like a heath bar, because I didn't get into it that much. Bowser's attack should be alittle better, but you already said that XD

Overall: Cool!

I'll explain about those certain things based on the order ya typed them in:

1.) i'm updating the file to also include a .txt version of the read me file, just in case.

2.) The time in which the boss appears will be changed in the next demo, since by then it'll be shorter(because of new levels appearing in the game).

3.) I would do so, but I need help looking for different sound effects I could use for both this and other situations. If anybody could help me out with that, that'd be awesome.

4.) I'm planning on fixing up Bowser by the next demo, with an included health bar(all bosses will have one) and the missile sprites changed into fireball sprites.

If there's anything else I need to fix, or more suggestions for this game, please tell me, ok? :3

pretty good overall, although the graphics clash, and IMO it should stay Mario only. But yeah, pretty good.
PS Hi ancara

I saw this site in the super mario bros z credits XD: Findsounds.com
I have to try this out for myself.

Make the enemies appear more frequently. It was too easy to beat this without taking hits.

I think the difficulty increased as time passed by. enemies came and grew bigger.
(If I'm not mistaking)

But it was easy though

Personally it was too slow, screen scrolled slow and framerate was "low".
I didn't so much like the screen resolution but it could stay.
This game pretty much felt like something old school, or looked.

I have finished the second demo of Skypop Scramble. It now has playable Luigi, 2 new levels and bosses, several new enemies to shoot at, and Bowser's health has been amped up a little.

Expect to see it at the NCFC soon. Wish me luck guys. :3

Also, I tried to register at the NCFC's forum, but it keeps on saying that "The entered e-mail domain has no valid MX record." Anybody know what that means? Since I have no idea. :S
