Beta testers, I know the last version was pretty buggy. I was more focused on finishing level builds. Well, I have finished all the levels I am going to add now. I still have a couple things to do. I want to test the game myself one more time. Then I will send all of you a final test version. From there I need you guys to really go through it and find all the little glitches in the game. Make sure all the star coins work and midway entrances. See if the camera scrolls to high, or too low, etc. I still have a few levels that need enemies, and want to add more things to do, and puzzles to solve.
I am going to add one or more powerups to the game as well. I am working on this right now before I do any game fixes. Last time I tried to add more, it was causing major issues. This is because I have filled every useable powerup that I know of with custom ones, but I think I may find room for one more.
One big powerup I want to add is one that only works as small Mario. When you hit the block as mini or small Mario, a flower pops up (which is not from the original game obviously). It doesn't work as big Mario at all. I need to draw an image (icon) for it. If ANY of the GBAtempers here can think of a good image for this, I would appreciate suggestions. Right now I have the original Metroid missiles as fire flowers. When you hit the a Metroid ZM missile pops up as the flower. I was thinking of making a ZM missile block so that you can tell the difference. Because if you are big Mario it will make it look like the powerup doesn't work. If you are small Mario, you will not expect a flower to pop up. If any GBAtempers have ideas to make this obvious for the game, I will give you credit in the game credits if it ends up being the one I pick. Oh, I was also thinking of maybe a small Mario head image or a mini Mario inside a missile powerup.
So basically, I am really going to need beta testers here over the next couple weeks. I am asking anyone that wants to do it, but I must have feedback as you test or it does me no good. So I need what the bug is, what happened, and where it happened. And especially now the more detail the better. I do have a credits level in the game, where all the beta testers are permanently in the game itself.
PM me if you are seriously interested, and I can send you my current test version. If you are kind of serious about testing, just wait for the full version coming soon.
