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. 😉 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 🙂 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!
