Very bouncing. Colliding with stuff makes the player fling around quite a bit. Good luck with this though, I give you what moral support I can

Okay, taking notes: Once you zoom in, the zoom out doesn't work to the full extent--you'll still be about half zoomed in until you close and reopen the game.
Jumping just outside the (Nonexistant) castle gate: I'm standing on top of the long platform of bricks, and... Wait, it stopped once I moved, but I was bouncing back and forth a few pixels horizontally when jumping. I cannot seem to reproduce this issue, so it was probably a one-off, rare instance. It seems to reproduce at random. Every now and then when I am at the location, it starts happening again.
Bouncy collision: Just as IxFa has noted, bumping into things gets a harsh bounceback. This makes platforming under a roof difficult, because if you hit the ceiling, you not only stop rising, you actually get accelerated downwards rather than losing your momentum.

I am still very interested in writing.
Here's what I have so far:

I look forward to hearing more from you, Rez. as for the buggies, I appreciate the feedback. I'm sure I know what the problem is, now it's just a matter of finding a way to fix it. I can fix the vertical recoil, I won't be able to change the horizontal recoil w/o breaking the current setup, so what I can do is lower the max running velocity, so you'll move a bit slower, but you won't have so much bounceback. Would that be alright?

Other than the bugs that Furrin and IxFa have noted (which I was able to reproduce), I haven't noted any major bugs. There is one thing with Mario/Luigi/whoever's momentum: When switching directions, holding down the key in the new direction you want to go causes you to go sliding away in the original direction you were moving in. Not holding it down causes you to lose any and all momentum whatsoever. I've also seen that, when you fall from really high up (I saw it happen at the "castle" "gate" from the highest up platform to the lowest ones) you'll phase through the platforms.

Also, I'd suggest making the zoom function on a toggle, rather than having to hold it down. Or possibly have a little button-menu-thing that lets you select between multiple levels of zoom. Just some ideas for it, I understand it's still VERY early on.

Honestly, I really want to help see this get made.

Bump.
Forgot to put this. set it to low quality as of now, because I forgot to optimize it. Don't worry it runs a lot faster as a bitmap.

Yay, you can choose costumes, now.

So if I wanted to try the game, where would I find the post for it?

Collisions really have gotten a lot better, great work!

The prototype looks good. But I can't stand the controls! The "WSAD" key set up isn't for everyone. Maybe have a control option like Ivan put in PUT.

Stupid question: How do I get through the green pipe? Or is there no other content in this yet?

I'm actually working on the current map, still. So I don't have a map to transport u to. But don't worry, i anticipate that it will be functional, by the end of this week.

Why? what's wrong with WASD keys? i first didn't like them but now i always prefer WASD because they are more comfortable for me, and because they are on the far left of the keyboard just like a D-pad or an analog stick on a console controller.

Thank you for making a new page Terrantor!!

Left-handed people sometimes put the mouse on the left side of the keyboard. Which means in order to use mouse + WASD, they need to move their keyboard way over to the far right side of their desk. On a laptop, you can't even move the keyboard relative to the screen, so they have no other option but to reach up and to the left with their dominant hand, while using their off-hand to work the mousepad.

This is actually part of why many PC games use both WASD and the Arrow Keys. It provides one movement option on each side of the keyboard, so the player can comfortably use whichever hand they want.

In other news, this version is a little more pleasing to the ear. The peach is my anim not my pro's so don't judge him. I'mma prob take a break from this one in a bit and pursue unity development. It's been a fun ride. Message me for the .fla

Awesome Job, Terranator, it looks awesome, and it runs smooth, Keep it up!

Acknowledged and currently tweaking. Good observation. Do you lefties still use the left mouse button to click?

Oh, I'm actually a righty, I just watch a lot of Extra Credits. Unfortunately, Right mouse button doesn't exist in Flash. In your web browser, it just opens a menu. There are ways around this but they involve hacking the exe after a standalone compile, or putting javascript on the webpage displaying the swf that converts right mouse clicks into callbacks that triggers some other kind of Event within the SWF. Generally not recommended unless you do your own hosting.

I second this, I prefer to use the Single right-hand in PUT. It's actually kind of personalized for me since I helped Ivan with the scheme of how it is now. When playing these types of games, I use my right hand on the keyboard for movement and my left is used for...non-keyboard functions...
