Newgrounds.com — Everything, By Everyone.

Still, not badly done, but not well done either, having to do everything in a singlestroke is a real piss take when I try to do this on my tablet, and if a quick demonstration of the direction of the line was shown before we draw (like on Kirby's DS minigame) that would make things a lot easier because the number system makes things hard to see, otherwise, not a bad game, but the scribbler level thing at the end? It's not everyday you get to use a HTML code and all, that I like.

I reckon I should play this a bit more, it might be good practice for my tablet.

Author's Response:

Well, we could all draw conclusions that this game looks like another game, but then could we blame Nintendo for ripping off the creator of connect-the-dots? Lets think about this for a moment.

What I don't quite understand is why everyone is so bent on games that function similar to other games. Granted, that their have been a million platformers and that there have been even more racing games, but we continue to say "oh, this game looks like another, its rubbish!"

Given, Johnny Rocketfingers functioned just like the old LucasArts games, or that Dad'n'Me was just like the beatem ups that preceded it. You got to realize that games are going to be like other games, whether you like it or not. Sure, there is originality in this world, and I try to put them in my games at all expense as much as I can. But when one tiny characteristic of a game fits another, people feel pissed. Sure, I have seen that kirby drawing game, but was it the same game? Try playing it again, and tell me what you think. If anything, creativity is being compromised now that people worry about everything they put into their game being a rip-off of something else.

Yes, Four Second Frenzy/Fury was in the same genre of microgaming as Wariowares, but to blame the entire game as a "Nintendo Ripoff" is a bit much, right? Just because the games were each short, does not mean I ripped off the games directly, or made an effort to emulate every single game play style. I wanted so badly not to have that game series compared to Wariowares, but yet, it still happens. And if the games were one minute long, they would be compared to Mario Party. And even longer, and they would be compared to even more games.

I guess I just wanted to show you the pickle I am in. Where am I to go when I get so many reviews that I am ripping other games off? I'm not trying to lecture you are anything, but just to let you see my perspective on all of this.

Once in a while, everytime he said moustache it seemed to freeze for a split second, maybe my PC is just crap, but this flash is so surreal, I love the pencil legs, seriously.

Good job.

"Well its the first of its kind, but not very good."

submission: Super Duper Mario 2 VGDC

date: July 25, 2006

Want a summery of how this flash works?

Mario walks along the screen like in a normal way like you're playing a game.
Mario finds a hidden vine and climbs it.
Mario goes left again, sees the flagpole is surrounded by baddies.
Mario grabs a megamushroom, and kills them all by farting.

The end.

Not laughing? I don't blame you, I don't care if this was a quickey, it's just too underdeveloped and only has the one joke, fart jokes CAN be funny but the simple idea of getting big and farting is barely original or humorous in any way.

To be honest, the graphics aren't too well handles either, he could've at LEAST allowed smoothing on the Mario sprites, they consistantly look jagged and pixelated, a no no for polygons.

And as far as accuracy goes, not too accurate, the ammount of blocks is obscene, you don't ever get THAT many blocks outside, secret exits have RED flag poles, and you cannot get 5000 points from flag poles, all minor details though that don't really matter, but would've been nice considering the humor was lacking.

If you want something substantial, go elsewhere, this movie consists of one fart joke and poorly handled graphics, it feels like you're watching a rom hack.
