Super Myario Land : (another game by Bushido)

[Bushido]

spikes on the ground with invisible blocks above it as well as two spikes horizontal facing.

have you tried

hitting all the invisible blocks

explain away all the vague hipster indie game design theories, the core issue here is that the majority of people aren't having fun with it

i think the issue is that i'm advertising it as one thing (attracting one crowd- who don't actually want to play the type of game it really is), while the crowd of people who do want to play it have been turned off by the advertisement

so whoops

maybe you oughta just stick in the op "masochists only: this game's hard as richards"

(if anyone wants to know how Momentum is doing- literally every major level is done, and all i need now is a kick-ass musician who can pull off original sonic-style music on the cheap. and by 'cheap', i mean 'free.'

A bit lower quality than other stuff I make since I made them in less than an hour (combined!), but I think they're alright enough to ship. They probably don't have that "retro Sonic" sound you're looking for (as there is an overabundance of turrican samples), but they have a darker edge which makes them a bit more fitting with the dark momentum colors.

If you like them I can make more (and make them better, hopefully), I have no idea how many levels are in Momentum (too lazy to play through and I'm bad at platformers) so I didn't want to make a bunch and find out there's like 5.

How would I do that while there are spikes on the ground? D:

your game should explain itself .. you shouldn't have to write up paragraphs every time a person doesn't understand it. if everyone is saying they don't get it maybe you're doing something wrong.

Nvm I'm on the part that you mentioned, after noticing you could dash. Now I don't know what to do after I built a platform out of invis blocks

hey this is pretty neat

can we move away from actual retro sonic instruments, and just go for retro sonic themed songs

well yeeeaaaah

it's just that these guys aren't actually playing the game for it to explain itself cause they're all quittin too early to figure out what's going on

I tried wall jumping/jumping up and over but the upper spike block is giving me trouble.

[Fastlex]

I misread as "Super Mayo Land"...
I tried the game seems to be a memory test. (or i'm doing something wrong)

You mean like 8-bit or just fast paced sonic-like songs? None of the instruments are from sonic games.

[Bushido]

fast backing but a relatively slow melody
