First point: That's an oversight on my part. The restart button covers his health. That, I didn't think through. It will be removed anyway, since it doesn't serve the purpose I added it for Second point: It is my first GM game. :v Not all games feature acceleration physics, you know. Mario does, and I've always thought it was a really sub-par platformer. Meanwhile, elder god tier Crash Bandicoot games don't have accel at all. :v

the original mario was an amazing platformer though
like im not even talking with nostalgia goggles, i don't like sonic or the original zelda all that much or anything, it's just really really well made. still thoroughly enjoyable today.

Well, I'll give you that it was better than most games of it's time. Perhaps it's unfair of me to compare it to games released afterward, considering most of them were inspired by Mario.
I do feel like the physics in it were a bit much, though. It was a well made engine, yes, but I don't think that made it more fun.

In a platformer that has no real gimmick outside of just jumping over and past obstacles, the physics engine is practically what makes the game.
It was pretty perfect tbh, everything felt right.

ok i played your latest demo and i have to say
1) change music
2) jumping feels to floaty. you should increase ascent and descent speeds so it feels tighter -- really bothers me and cheapens experience
3) don't give unlimited bombs, way too easy to blast through everything
4) give the level more aesthetic instead of tilesets of boring platforms
5) please give more direction! i don't know how to beat level 1
i spent like 10 minutes on this and i guarantee doing these will make your game more viable in the competition so try them out
