This has potential, but I'm going to be honest, the bosses need tweaking. I've only made it to the second boss before I had to quit.

The first boss is fine except that there was a number of times where he'd only use attacks that didn't allow me to hit him. I mean, once or twice in a row is fine, but doing it 10+ is a bit ridiculous.

The second boss is also fine except for the fact that the wind goombas target and take off so fast, it's very rare that they will actually hit the boss, as they usually go after you while you are still jumping over him, not to mention I'd often get put in a situation where I'd either get hit by Goomboss or the windy goomba.

That's exactly what a mario game should always have - blocks. Nice game, though.

Wow, I got to the second world's boss, and boy, it's SUPER HARD. I don't want to spoil it, so I won't explain.

Did you get to the first boss, it's not just jump and killand that's it, whatever that means.

Review of Super Mario Ztar Curse.

I beat the entire game. Yes, despite how it is, I decided to complete it.

I'll start with the bosses, since those were the only enemies that made me curious
enough to finish this game. Really, no hint on how to defeat them, but I guess its

okay. Not going to lie, the bosses got really boring. Six hits and they only do the

same thing; however, I won't say anymore since I remember how it is to produce

the first game that's acceptable into people's eyes. I know man, I know. This is

why I wanted to beat this game no matter what. And if this isn't your first game

accepted into people's eyes, then whatever number that comes down the lime.

First boss: Pain in the butt, this is one of the hardest bosses in the game at first.

Second boss: Easy actually. Simply wait until he spits out a tornado goomba that
is really close to him due to beginner's programming. Honestly, I don't know how

people can complain about him, this was the easiest and simplistic boss in the game.

third boss: Oh man, I have to remember the awful sounds of the lightning spam.

But sometimes, through the random attack processing, he's keep using nothing but

the shell, making him an easy kill.

Technically fourth boss: The spikes. fail. Seriously, fail, but they're there as a hint

to what the final boss is like and so its a bit clever I guess. But meh. I guess it was

kinda funny when Ztar was like, "My guards are going to kill Ma -- "

Final boss: Hard. Very hard. Super Hard. Extremely Hard. Siofmvrcr Nerffa

Gatlan Giga Hard. Annoying. Almost impossible if you aren't lucky with the

random attack programming. If you could remake this game, please remake
this boss first and spend a long time making him fun. I'm speaking this from

experience: Never make a final boss that produce enemies in the way you did. I

did this too. If the player decides for some reason not to worry about the enemies,

they fill up the room and slow down the game. But that's not the problem in this

one. The enemies selected make the boss flawed even more than its random

attacking with no visible pattern. The shy guys tick me off -- the bobombs are also

annoying. If you wait for them to finish exploding the Ztar could suddenly come at

you. Or shyguy's bouncing --ah! It's a pain to explain.
That aside, Ztar's bouncing is one of the worse of the problems. Sometimes, he'll

randomly come at you and bounce crazy enough to where its impossible to hit him.
Overall, I died on this boss over and over and over and over and over and over

and over again. Seriously, more than what's counted above. countless times. I

stopped yesterday and decided to try again today. After denying like 50 more

times, more or less, I finally and luckily, on my last health bar, defeated him.
The ending sucked, but I remember from my game experience, mine sucked too.

After so much trial and error, you just wanted to be done with this darn thing XD.

And if you didn't go through trial and error with this, than I don't know what to say

other than rate this -1/10

But because I like this game and can somehow remember mine, SMBO the full

version (if only I can dig it up), I'll give this a 6, no, a 7/10.

I can't rate it any higher, because the game had too many flaws. Biggest flaw was

the same 3 or 4 enemies every stage.

I'm not going to comment on stage design, since the programmer himself or herself

already knows what he or she has to work on.

The music was okay. I recogonized many of the tunes. (When

Review of Super Mario Ztar Curse [review here]

Holy... long comment. But anyway, I know the truth already. 7/10... bit too high in my opinion, but it's your review, you can say whatever you want. It's technically my first ever game which doesn't suck that bad, but it's not my best neither. I'm currently working on a better game, Super Mario Bros. Omega. I know the title doesn't sound good, but it's a working one.
But thanks for the review. Did you submit it as a real review? If yes, hope it will get accepted.

It is a long comment XD but I had to get this one out.

I tried to beat Ztar again, lmao for old time sakes and got creamed XD. (I haven't deleted it just yet.)

I'm looking forward for your next game.

Let's Play of this coming soon! Also I like the addition of some new things that were missing in the demo. And THANK YOU for nerfing King Goomba, although, I still felt he was too hard. Blue Goombas seem to have random patterns.

I'm a member of the forums, but I don't post much. I was once a member here a while back before they switched to the new forums (which I sighed on the other day.) I'll definitely be taking a look at this demo. Also, thanks to you, I started learning how to create Mario games again. Though I still have a ways to go to be able to get up to where you're at, I've started two projects.
1. Super Mario Crimson (working title) in Rmxp
2. Ludwig Hates Goombas in Game Maker.

So you're going to make a Mario game? Well, maybe it looks like I'm advertising my stuff too much, but I only do this to help you: I made a series how to make a simple Mario game on YouTube. Check this link out:

Thanks. But normally, I'd pick out a simple engine --that hardly has anything on it and learn from it. (actually learning, because there is nothing worse than copying someone's work.)

I'm also looking into many howtos --hopefully, to regain some of that knowledge I lost 5 years ago lol. Btw, the link isn't working (but I know to manually type it and /

Oops... but if you still want to view the series, type in 'djemiegoomba' in search and you'll find my channel. Also, the new name of my game is 'Super Mario Element Orbs'. Got a better title, yah! It's in the Developer Discussion (one of the first topics).

Play as Wario's VERY skinny rival, Waluigi, like Thunder Dragon's Pycsho Waluigi.

The level design is very bland. Would it bother you to place blocks, items, or COINS!?!?
