Miles Aug 2 2012, 5:29 PM
I'm really not one for bragging, though. Thank you!

Yeah I see what you mean. If I submitted one of the games I won I would have just put that it won/was a participant, at greatest.

Anyway, like I said, it's a great game. Is this the updated version?

Yah, its the updated version. Well until miles adds in more attacks which I'm making the sprites for right now. :P

Someone caught me but they fell in a pit, haha. Great game! I kind of wish there was more to it though.

What is the music from?

I was hiding under a crate and everyone was one top of that crate, then I went out from under and hid in the ground. Then I got them all to fight and I made the game crash :p

I was wondering when that would happen. Unfortunately I can't seem to fix this.
 
Zdude684 Aug 2 2012, 8:37 PM
That issues is due to the game having a massive amount of bros, and uses up alot of RAM, If I'm correct. So it's not the game but computer. I handled alot of bros murdering each other and throwing each other in pits.
 
TristanLuigi Aug 2 2012, 9:13 PM
Good, but could you add button, maybe backspace, that allows you to get out of a bro? Maybe it could also allow you to automatically fly quickly to the ground and hide, costing a lot of power.
 
TristanLuigi Aug 2 2012, 9:13 PM
Double post glitch :c
But I figure while this post (accidentally) exists, you should add Wario and Waluigi sprites.

Will do! Thank you for the suggestion.

That's an awesome idea, but currently I don't see it happening any time soon. You never know, though.

Actually that error is due to a bro being knocked out of his attack animation but his victim not being unset for some reason; the game is trying to match up the victim's animation frame and position with an undefined set. I guess I'll just add blank things for it.

The purple coin thing. You bet a purple coin and... nevermind. The point is this game is awesome.

No, It was the Game, I got about 60 bros and they fought all at once. Causing the game to overload.
 
Miles Aug 3 2012, 3:44 AM
It is the game's fault, yes; it's not an overload, it's a programming oversight, a coding failure on my end. It will be fixed when I upload an update some time later on. Also, it doesn't actually crash; if you see an "ignore" button and click it a lot of times, the game will actually resume as normal.

Imo scoring system would be better if you got points from fights too. But this game is awesome! :D

This game proves the ideal replay value when it comes to minigames - an online high score system. I would have found this particular game fun to begin with, but I definitely wouldn't have repeated so many times had I not noticed that the high score system was actually a global online one, and I attempted several times to get to the top of it.

Great decision, Miles, and fantastic idea, original in my eyes!

DJ Yoshiman: I'm very happy to read that! Thank you.

Everyone: I've recently cleared the high score table; it was getting to be ridiculous. It's insanely easy to get something really high via camping; soon that will be done away with, and a different score table used. Until then, try not to make the game nothing more than a simple case of patience = score.

I must suck at figuring these things out because I tried to the best of my ability to use camping tactics and they still didn't work for me after about 50 guys.
 
Miles Aug 4 2012, 5:02 AM
At the very first hole, there's a box. You can hide in the top of it and wait for a collector to come by, then invade him and drop him down the hole. Repeat, taking care not to attack nearby bros, since you yourself will be in danger of getting got both ways when that happens. That's an extremely boring way to do things (nothing more than patience equals score), but it works. That will no longer be the case after the coming update.

Why There Are Marios With Different Palette? Why There Are Luigis With Different Palette? Are They Mario's Brother's Enemies In This Game? How Many Levels Are Here? Are Purple Coins In Every Level? Is Luigi's Objective To Collect Purple Coins?
 
crazydev00 Aug 4 2012, 5:41 AM
Huh. I was playing and I was inside a Mario, I think, and then I was killed but the coin was inside the Mario while he died. Then, I was invisible, and I couldn't be collected, and I could move around. Then, everyone else was fighting infinitely...

Pfft, that's the method I attempted. There was no way to invade any bro that wasn't about to get his ass handed to him.

The reason he cleared the score board was because I proved camping was bad by taking over a bro and going to a certain spot and I was able to get 999 without moving. It was rediculous.

Miles will have a final update up sometime soon.
 
mariobros2 Aug 8 2012, 7:38 PM
IMO this is one of the greatest minigame in MFGG.
 
Miles Aug 10 2012, 4:09 PM
^ Thank you!

Seems there won't be an update; I'm going to release another version of this entirely and label this one as a demo, since the version I'm working on is very, very different.
 
Friendly Dictator Aug 11 2012, 5:25 PM
This game is pretty hard. I could only get about 5 points.

My high score was 92. I submitted a review, and a good one. Hope it gets accepted! Nice work, Miles.
 
Eldstar Aug 29 2012, 5:08 PM
Awesome game...
Can't wait for the final version, I hope it isn't that different 0.o
