This is the first demo I've bothered to download. The graphics sure looks SWEET.
Here are my crits:
-Needs variable jumping. Currently, Mario jumps the same height no matter how long I hold down the button. Is it supposed to be like this?
-The whole thing with Mario not jumping as high when he's moving (which seems to be just enough to get in the way)... just no. Mario, in previous games, has always jumped higher when he was moving. But TBQH, I dunno if you meant to put this in, or if It's just a glitch.
-Whenever I bounced on a Goomba, and Mario got to the height of his bounce, he zipped back down like a rock. This got me killed a few times. Better fix that.
-What Rags said about the fireballs.
-The collision system doesn't seem.. I dunno.. precise enough. It sometimes seemed 'jerky' when I jumped over a corner, and sometimes walls would constantly push me one pixel back when i got next to them (these glitches were more rare, though).
*Sigh*, if only the engine was as good as the graphics. I could probably whip-up a better engine in 10 minutes in GameMaker, but meh, I'm not gonna complain. You had better finish this.
