So I was playing Retro Run, and I made it to the midway point. I died, and lost all my red coins. 'That's absolutely criminal, especially in a stage like this' I think red coins you've collected up until the midway point should stay collected once you activate said midway point, and only be lost if you leave the level, restart it, or get a game over. Also, '[b]Whats[/b] that? You say you're Luigi?' in Toad Town 'Summons a blue Takko' in the shop has no period at the end 'The tracks ahead have been [b]burried[/b]' should be buried I think there should be a sound for when you hit Captain Syrup Captain Syrup needs SFX in general Knockback from getting hit should be dropped Also, was the icon on the moneybag the same on the Money Ship from SMB3? If so, nice touch [s]oh hello new page[/s]

Honestly, I don't see the issue with knockback. You only go back 1 block space I believe, and considering you can take 4 hits instead of Mario's general 2, I think it's a fair trade off, otherwise you'd be able to tank through tough sections with little to no risk. The knockback is almost needed to avoid players abusing the invincibility phase after a hit. Whether or not it's reduced, idk, but I think some knock back, or at least a slight stun is required.

At least make knockback half a block instead of a whole one, that way it will at least end up in less cheap deaths

I think the knockback's been toned down already so I'm alright with the current knockback. the only things that need to be tweaked are checkpoints and lives, honestly.

I can't wait for the final game release. Keep it up the great work!!! I tried the final demo and is amazing

Glad you like it. On another note, it's probably worth mentioning that I've remade 1-3. It's now less straight forward and it actually makes use of it's gimmick.

If anyone still manages to get stuck now then... I just... I don't know anymore. Also, to be clear, this is a brand new level, not a touch up to the one in the demo.

As a quick note, I found the blue octopus/bird hybrid (Takko, I believe his name was?) to be more of a liability than anything. Using his power cuts your vertical momentum too much - I'd almost always end up jumping, continuing to hold the jump button due to variable jumping, and having my momentum killed by Takko beginning to make me hover, causing me to die.

I find myself memorizing which ?-blocks he is hiding inside and then avoiding them. I'm not quite sure how to fix it.

I think you should remake the Airship level too.

Ok, I can't open the game now. Because I got this error. [code] ___________________________________________ ERROR in action number 1 of Key Release Event for <no key> Key for object objInvisibleNPC: Error defining an external function. [/code] If I press Abort I can play the game without musics and errors. [size=50](WTF?!)[/size]

Try restarting your PC and reloading. It should run OK. I had the same problem too.

I've been working on what I've been able to when it comes to critiques from the demo and I think I've more or less fixed everything that I'm able to, so now it's back to the new stuff for me, starting with new ghost house level. These images are actually from the very end in which the player will find themselves on the remains of a weather torn rooftop. You will have to platform across little bits of what remains of old rooms and the support beams. Oddly enough, the bathroom held up pretty well. [spoiler][img]http://i62.tinypic.com/2m2gktf.jpg[/img] This section starts off in what looks like a normal room. This makes the upcoming section where you realize the house has been torn up a bit more interesting looking. [img]http://i59.tinypic.com/30lnp60.jpg[/img] Theres a lot of wind in this area, although I personally hate wind gimmicks in which the wind is constantly trying to kill you, so instead, the wind is always helping you here, however, you will need to time things, otherwise it can end badly. [img]http://i57.tinypic.com/1z6cbj7.jpg[/img] The only room to remain intact is the bathroom. [img]http://i62.tinypic.com/adgrpy.jpg[/img] Old light fixtures remain attached to what little bit of the ceiling there still is. [img]http://i58.tinypic.com/20qga3b.jpg[/img] The section ends with a short vertical spot.[/spoiler] EDIT- Oh right, almost forgot to mention this but that BG is NOT the final BG. I've actually already made the new one, it just isn't in the engine yet.

Wow that levels looks awesome. Though one though I had is that the edges along the walls and everything look surprising clean for a building that's supposed to be "torn up"

[quote="CouchTomato"]Wow that levels looks awesome. Though one though I had is that the edges along the walls and everything look surprising clean for a building that's supposed to be "torn up"[/quote] Yeah, I meant to add that to the post but I forgot, but basically, the level (in terms of the wind gimmick) had been planned, but the design gimmick of the house being torn up was a spur of the moment thing when I made the level last night. So basically, there, as of the time I made the level, were no tiles for it since the visual gimmick hadn't been planned. I do plan on making more fitting tiles for it though.

Hello, everyone. I am a new user, and I want to post a bug report for Super Mario Bros. & The Midas Machine. I found it while in the 2nd world, so I put it in a spoiler element below: [spoiler][img]http://i979.photobucket.com/albums/ae273/abdhfemt/midas_lakitu_collision_error_zps26f3ebd4.png[/img] In World 2-Lakitu's Ruins, I used Waluigi and a Fire Flower to defeat a Lakitu that was flying near the ceiling and jumped toward the cloud it left behind while crouching. When I let go, Waluigi's head went into the ceiling, and the game crashed trying to handle collision with the ceiling.[/spoiler] I skimmed this thread for bug reports about the same issue and did not find any, so I don't think anyone else noticed it yet. If it already has been reported, feel free to warn me and let me know how careless I am.

Heh, I don't think you'd get a warning for trying to help us make the game better, even if it had been pointed out. And just for the record, I don't believe it's been pointed out so you are the first.

that lakitu is nothing but trouble

[quote="Elyk"]that lakitu is nothing but trouble[/quote] I haven't had too much trouble.

[quote="mariofan5000"][quote="Elyk"]that lakitu is nothing but trouble[/quote] I haven't had too much trouble.[/quote] I believe he's referring to a very odd glitch we found just before the demo's launch. I don't remember the exact details, but I believe killing Lakitu, waiting for him to respawn, flipping a Spiny (thrown by the second Lakitu), then picking it up would cause the game to crash.
