*note (while creating the first real level)* I'm following damocles_ idea to reduce the walking/running speed and the jump forces for a better handling.
I also shrink the blocks (to original "mario" size) - it's a better gameplay!
*/note*

Good fix, found 2 new bugs but can't screen shot them as you've disabled window mode

1) on the highscore i jumped exactly 5 meters and showed up as just "5" rather than "5.000"

2) his hair changed colour with black stripes in when jumping under the first set of blocks in the test level to get the coins

other than that plays really well

the first thing is easy - will be fixed.
the second is the awefull shadow system on 3dgs.

Don't know why. the player entity has the CAST flag set.
I will see if i can figure out whats the problem here.

I hope the first world (with some levels) will be get ready next weekend...

Really good start

Like alrady said , you need to change the method of control
of the character !

You'll have to later improve the textures of your level blocks ! Some are too much brighter like wall blocks , and
the blocks with stars are too much dark !

Try to make some global brightness for all textures of blocks !



Keep it up !

*sight* ...Yes ... Nintendo ... 100's of designer, artists and coder (with a superbe engine a lot of time and ca$h) ... against me (with this rotten 3dgs )

But I uploaded a new version with several changes.

* motion behavior has changes a bit (slower) (online highscores reset)
* the first level of the first world is done
* inworld level change (sublevels e.g. by tubes, teleporters)
* user defined control settings (and saving/loading of cause)
* 3 big coins per level to search for
* and - uhh yes - the level end flag

beta testers welcome - please report bugs/suggestions/ideas/...

very nice first level. i liked it a lot. the second tube world was hard and i kept dieing took me about 7 tries before i got it. but it was well layed out. perhaps a high score table for the level? that would make things interesting keep it up

*EDIT - how bout a mushroom to make uli grow?

There is a highscore for/after each world planned.
Before i implement it i need the scoring system (after each level).
At the end of each world (~3-5 level) with a boss enemy in the last level the total world scoring will be send to a online highscore.

with the second sublevel i wanted to introduce the cool 3D-level-rotation. But it's going to confuse the player (not only you - maybe I'll make this 3D-level-rotation later in the second level and more easy for the first step?! I have to wait for the reply of my beta testers...

"how bout a mushroom to make uli grow?": yes that's already implemented (and several other enemies, objects (keys), moves for uli (climb, swim, ...), etc. (but I don't want to show all these things in the first techdemo)

Now with level scoring and world online highscore!

update:

new (own) sound effects
new song
movement slightly justified (for better handling)
smaller changes in the leveldesign
new behvior for the yellows
recharge object (banana)
point calculation optimized (online highscore reset / sorry msmith )

time to add more levels and enemies...

Very well made.
Just an idea: when he dies, let him fall down a bit more closer, so he doesnt hide within the terrein, but falls out of the screen :)(MArio like)
