Mini-Game Competition #8, Graveyard Shift

The game is extremely hard because the Boos are not like in SMW.

I had to change it a little, otherwise you could just go to the end of the screen and face all of them at once, so none of them moved. Then you could just fire at the mirror and kill them all off without any real challenge...

These competitions are about originality anyways, right?

Hmm... I'mma get started on something.

I'm sooooo entering this, just for a heads up.

Except he's not entering I am woops

Whoa, hold on, this has to have a darkness theme to it?

I thought it was just nighttime *continues work on entry*

I still have no idea what to do, but Kitsune entering is kinda a challenge, so I have to do something!

this looks somewhat intresting.... I'll think of somthing.

No, at least that's not what I thought. Compos are about the game you find the most fun and enjoyment out of.

May the best man win!

Ok this is what I have so far. I went for the whole late night thing:

Mario, Luigi, and Yoshi are delivery boys for Mr. E's pizza delivery service. They must deliver pizza to Toad before time runs out!

Things to take note of:

Speed - Actual character speed

Strength - How high up you can throw the pizza and how many hits it takes to defeat ground-bound enemies

Jump - How high said character can jump


Yoshi is the fastest, has an intermediate jump, but is the weakest character.
Mario is the strongest character, but is the slowest and has the weakest jump.
Luigi has the best jump of all, but has intermediate speed and throwing abilities.


Additionally, ground-bound enemies or jumping enemies can be killed. Flying enemies must be avoided. A good way to keep the pizza away from flying enemies is to throw it into the air as your character is dashing. Keep in mind that if the pizza touches the ground or if the enemies get the pizza, you lose. You have to alley-oop it into the warp pipe at the end of the stage to win!

Your score at the end of the stage is determined by how many enemies you've killed total and however much time is remaining plus a 1000 point bonus for making it to the goal. Try to collect as many coins as possible as they replenish your time.

Here's a screenshot. I'll try to get a demo up soon.


Since it has to have a "dark" theme in that sense, I'll try to add ghost and castle levels.

That looks awsome Kitsune! That will be one game I have to play.

My computer isn't broken anymore, so you b****es better watch out.

Wait a moment, I need some clarification -- the first post says that it doesn't have to include Mario, but above that it says that "the theme for this competition is the world of Mario in the dark."

So can we enter games that don't have anything to do with Mario or what?

Great! Not you can finish SME3!

But, not so great for us who've entered this compo. Now we're gonna get our a**es kicked.

orly

Nice idea! I suggest zombies or dry bones as enemies.

And it has "Kitsune Arrows" as I like to call them since Mario Soccer. ^^

Personally, I'd just go with Mario just in case, but I don't think it matters. I think it's just 'make a game that's set in the dark' or something.

I started.
I will do some Luigi's Mansion mini game.
Of course with SMB3 sprites, my all-time favourites.
