Bowser's Castle (demo)

By: bowser3d
My first flash game, programmed in AS3. Use the arrow keys to move, collect keys to unlock rooms and coins to increase health. Press space to restart. So far, there are 10 levels, I might add more depending on how it works out.

Completion: Demo	Genre: Adventure
Franchise: Mario

Author	Summary	Score
Roo	It's like a tech demo for tech that isn't impressive in any way.	3 / 10
Double Agent Luigifan	This needs to be worked on, a LOT. With sprites and textures clashing(I mean, some of the walls are backrounds from SMW!). This REALLY needs to be updated, sorry. 3/10.	3 / 10
1337doom	I did give a lot of good scores, but it really seems like it could be better. If they let us do 6.5s, I'd give it to you, but for now I have to put a disgraceful 6. Sorry!	6 / 10
kegeshan	This is a game that has a lot of potential, with good graphics and sound, but it comes out as a badly controled game. If you think about it, it dosn't matter if the graphics are bad, as long as the game is playable. Just like the first Super Mario Bros.	5 / 10
Dario bros	Overall, this game seems to have a future. In the meantime, however, it appears that a certain someone submitted this in a hurry before completing it. Don't worry, I've done it too.	7 / 10
TheSuperyoshi	If i was just for gameplay, I would give this a 6. Interesting idea, but some downsides. But the graphical effects add a point.	7 / 10
Average Score		5.2 / 10

Thanks, I'm still trying to work out some of the problems. Right now, it is not possible to jump, because you would go behind the columns, even if from the perspective you were supposed to be in front. Similarly, if mario were larger, he would appear to go "underneath" backgrounds in the front layer if he got too close. I wonder if there's code for changing the order of layers in Actionscript? I could definately add some things to the controls, though. I might come back to this later, though I'd like to work on a 2D engine with more physics to get some experience.

Very good! If you work on it, it is going to be an awesome game :)

You can change the z-ordering of each object on the same layer, though, so you can put Mario and the pillar in the same later and manipulater Mario's (theoratical) z-position so that it's of a higher order when he jumps. Again, don't know much about AS, and I forgot the actual coding of this.

Are you able to set up your own custom variables in Action Script? If so, you could set up a z variable that adds to mario's y value so he could jump. Tell me if it would work.


	YoungLink Oct 20 2009, 8:10 PM
Somehting like that should work if what you said is what I thought it is. In-game coordinates and display position should be separate variables if your game is taken in a pseudo-3D way. Same for isometric view. And as mentioned, control is not too good, especially the key mapping. In Mario RPG, SQUARE used the iso thing again, but you can notice the basic directions are still the same (would move character diagonally if seen in perspective). There is a good reason on why Mario RPG sells but not Spindizzy World.

Thanks for the suggestions. I think it would be possible to jump, i'd have to draw a new symbol that covers the floor area in front of the columns, and mario's z position is greater if he jumps from that location. The in game coordinates and display position should be separate, I never realized that, and it could have solved a lot of problems. As the game is now, jumping and landing could be very complicated, or might require a new engine and possibly redrawing some levels. I'll try and see, though.

man what you just said confused me lol,yeah their is no hope for me in the world of coding.Anyways like I said earlier,this is awesome but now im more curious on what a 2-D platform of yours wld be like?If you cld add that same "element" that made this game fun an put it into a 2-D platform...you wld have perfection.

Nice game, but some of the candles in the Gray Key room could use some work.

The graphics are good, but gameplay is just horrible. The moment I learned that the arrow keys make Mario move in a diagonal direction, my excitement slipped a jot, and it all went downhill from there. You'd make this game twice as good by just changing the movement physics.


	Dario bros Oct 23 2009, 3:13 PM
I want those graphics!


	Mario6464SMR Oct 23 2009, 8:44 PM
wow i never played a flash mario before!

You'd make this game twice as good by just changing the movement physics. I second that. I also didn't enjoy the fact that enemies could hover over you and constantly deplete your health, without Mario gaining invulnerability or even the enemy moving out of the way. I got halfway through the castle [I believe] when I died and didn't feel like playing anymore.

cool game but it needs better controls.


	Syr Oct 26 2009, 3:33 PM
it needs better controls. I couldn't jump D:


	Syr Oct 26 2009, 3:40 PM
ew double post. Anyway, another review is coming up.


	Myuu Jan 4 2010, 11:54 PM
Flash game? Does that mean it would open in the browser instead of downloading if I clicked the download link? Also, what's the point without jumping?

No! That's quite harsh! Write it in a better way, instead of making it very harsh!
