Get a friend to play with you

This is my first flash project. I designed it as a multiplayer game because I didn’t feel ready to program the AI on my first try. I hope you have a few minutes of fun with it. I would appreciate your honest and uncensored thoughts, comments and criticisms.

Lol, pretty entertaining… once I figured out the controls. I didn’t bother to look at the Instructions. :beam:

Nice :thumb:

The game itself looks and plays great! Perhaps add additional moves or at least attacks whilst jumping. (it would be cool to see a mario signature stomp type move)
The interface it a little to be desired. Maybe make a more title screen oriented style for the title screen. Spruce up the Mario vs. Luigi so it looks pretty and stands out and move instructions down by new game because I must admit I didn’t notice it at first. Try to condense the instructions into 1 page, the text was quite large and could easily be condensed because the two pages weren’t neccessary. If you plan on adding to it, a key change option could be sweet.

I’m really impressed that this is your first flash project. My first flash project wasn’t even half as sweet. Keep up the good work!

Thanks Wanyo and Wizard. I changed the menu around a bit - let me know if it’s any better. I think I’ll keep the instructions on 2 pages, just because it would be hard to fit the controls in and keep everything readable. I’ll also keep in mind if/when I make another game to include a key change option.

The menu is definitely easier to use and know what’s going on. It could use a little spicing up for the graphics of the title screen and the instructions. I still say one page would look better, but for clarity’s sake I’ll let ya slide. :wink: Keep it up and if you make another make sure to post it!

My keyboard doesn’t have an insert key.

the animation is excellent. nice choice of music too, i thought i was the only one who knew about the nso cover :slight_smile: i realize this is an early version and you may have this stuff in mind already, but here’s some thoughts:

  • i wish the background looked as good as the characters
  • if you have the ability to jump, you should be able to stomp as wanyo said, and maybe be able to punch or kick in the air as well?
  • it could probably also use some things added to the environment to interact with. at least some platforms, and maybe some powerups… fire flowers would be fun

i look forward to future versions!
