It's a run and shoot kind of game and could best be described as Mega Man with a heavy Mario theme. The game will include arguably original areas (such as an anachronistic temple, a Japanese-type village (shown above) and a canyon filled with explosives) and bosses (like a train conductor mole and a thwomp with jets). [b]Additional note:[/b] Sadly, I'm not entirely sure when the full game will be released due to technical difficulties involving moving platforms. If you have any suggestions for this, I'd appreciate it. [size=125][b]Story[/b][/size] On a distant island far removed from the Mushroom Kingdom, a village of monsters exists. Unlike the majority of their brethren, these monsters are content keeping to themselves and not causing any trouble. However, one day, a mysterious man wearing a phanto mask named Fizzad blows into town and requests that the monsters join his army. The monsters refuse, but Fizzad uses his magical powers to hypnotize them into submitting. Only a select few were immune to this spell. One of which being a single snifit. Can he put a stop to Fizzad's schemes? [size=125][b]Download[/b][/size] No download yet

It's nice to see an update on this. I like the cool level concepts and the relatively creative fangame story.

Crappy gif showcasing the dynamic camera and scrolly boss health thing (both wip). [spoiler][img]http://i.imgur.com/mDEZNBN.gif[/img][/spoiler]

very cool!

The dynamic camera system (the "sections" system) looks really good! From experience, I can tell that getting this right can be a difficult task. I feel like the transition could be faster, though. Out of curiosity, does this system also allow for sections that are bigger than one screen? I feel like that would allow interesting level design.

Kinda works a bit closer to Mega Man X or Donkey Kong Country than anything else atm.

so is this game going to have mario-style level progression or a megaman-style stage select?

I really like the hills for some reason. The clouds, though, don't look very good IMO. Also, unless the top of the map is over a VERY steep cliff, you should probably put ocean on the top, too, instead of sky.

Looking nice so far, if a little bland (I imagine this will be improved eventually, however).

[spoiler][img]http://i.imgur.com/NaJf2qr.png[/img] I've been a bit busy with my Secret Santa, so I haven't been working on this too much. That being said, have a New and Improved™ Snifit Scramble™ map.[/spoiler]

that map looks [b]much[/b] nicer than before

[quote="Dustinvgmaster"]The map or the game in general?[/quote] Just the map. It's looking much better now, though!

Snifit Scramble bosses need no introduction! [spoiler][img]http://i.imgur.com/qbvjbew.gif[/img] Actually, maybe they do.[/spoiler]

Very cool!

Boss Name is so terrifying of a name, it cannot compare D: Looks great, Jim Bob! Keep up the hoo-daddy!
