As RealMarioGamer also said, this looks awesome. It is way different than most puzzles; while not being kaizo, is player-friendly, has a lot of effort in it (unlike mine, mine is a fucking shit X_X I rushed it, it is very short, some of the levels aren't even puzzles. not really a puzzle hack, but my first hack after all.) This sure will be fun to play, I really want to finish it, but I'm so stupid that I can't even solve the easiest puzzle. I am just hoping I will do it.. Anyways, your screenshots look really nice, just like always. Great job!
Contrary to what you all might think this project has not been abandoned, but instead has been steadily progressing! Right now we have 5 levels completely finished (maybe except for music and/or palette changes), 4 levels are done except that they need some graphical updates (we have three switch palaces finished but need to get some corner tiles, for example) and 5 are being worked on (all over half finished). So here are some more new screenshots!

A complicated puzzle in the grasslands, called "Flammable"!


A new castle. Can you choose the correct items?


The final stretch of Castle Black! Not everything can be shown in a few screenshots though...

Of course you should fight fire with fire, you should fight everything with fire.

Oooh look at my userbar!

Dude, I have no idea how I can express my happiness right now. I'm so glad this project didn't die.

Anyways, everythings seems great as always, but "Castle Black" is not properly shaded. The background should be darker than the foreground, not vice versa, but that's the only problem I've seen here. Also, I really am wondering if I'll actually be able to finish it. I've always loved puzzle hacks, but I were pretty much never able to finish them :p
Well its great to here we have a supporter. As sadistic said, yes we are making progress, however difficult it may be. Luckily we are all scrambled since we just make levels as ideas come to us, so instead of finishing levels in chronological order, we have made levels in all areas of length and difficulty. Only problem is that school is starting now, so I know I myself a very busy and will probably be losing a lot of time to work on the hack. Fortunately, by the looks of things, we do have a lot of insane ideas for puzzles, which gives me hope that this may be one of the few projects I actually finish, however its completion is nowhere in sight. Regardless, sometime in the near future, I think I will update the main post with a level listing. That way you can see the progress we have made, along with what is left to be done and get a sort of spoiler of how the game will run. I will probably do this after we like finish discussing which levels will have which exits, and where they go to etc. So ya, hopefully you will have another update soon!

P.S. While writing those last two lines I just thought of something awesome for a level so I am going to go directly to Skype to let sadistic know! xD

What what! Killin' it with a triple post!

Its been a while but [hopefully] this will be a double update weekend!! For the first update, here are some new screens from two of the switch palaces. The first four are from the blue switch palace, and the last two are from the yellow switch palace.




The BSP is a single room with a crazy puzzle that involves loads of back tracking and tons of planning as you get a couple blue switches that can each be used under different circumstances. The YSP is a puzzle composed of many short rooms and small puzzles, each getting gradually harder.

Also, if you have an idea for a name for the hack, please share it! We can't come up with one! D: It needs to be fun sounding, not too long, yet epic sounding, as the puzzles get pretty hard as the game progresses.

What a bump!

This project has neither been forgotten nor been inactive, we just haven't shown you all the progress! I first present the fresh, new and updated level list:

1-1: You Only Live Once
1-2:
1-3: Wet Dreams
1-4: The Wait
1-Switch Palace: Yellow Switch Palace
1-Castle: Reznor Glitch

2-1: The Long Way Down
2-2: Killswitch
2-3:
2-4: Tower to Heaven
2-Switch Palace: Red Switch Palace
2-Castle:

3-1: Flammable
3-2: I wanna get High
3-3:
3-4: Reset Door
3-Switch Palace: Green Switch Palace
3-Castle:

4-1: Stupid Koopa
4-2:
4-3:
4-4: Hanging by a Thread
4-Switch Palace: Blue Switch Palace
4-Castle: Castle Black

5-1: 112 Ocean Avenue
5-Castle:


It might look similar to the list before, but a lot of progress has been made on the levels that were previously 'in progress'. Most notably, all switch palaces have been finished, "The Long Way Down" has been finished, the previously unfinished nameless World 2 Castle became the (finished) world 1 Castle "Glitch Reznor", "Hanging By A Thread" has seen some serious progress, we have added two completed and completely new levels, "You Only Live Once" and "I wanna get High", solved most of our graphical issues and tested all the levels and fixed most of the breaks and bugs that we found.

Today some screenshots of the completed Switch Palace set, pictures of the other improvements will follows later!





EDIT: Come and watch nathan try the green switch palace.

Very happy to see this back. Everything looks awesome as always, but to be honest, the red switch palace looks VERY busy.
Other than that, I love what I see here.
Yes, the Red Switch Palace is supposed to be very very busy. Not shown is a screenshot where 80-90% of all those blocks are collected with a handful of Blue Pows, netting the player around 7-8 lives ;)

Bumpity bump bump, have a short preview of our over world! Also, please help us come up with a good name for the hack! Once we name the hack we have a really big update we want to release.

That is... unusual, but nice. So good job anyways.
Also, I like Puzzle Mania, heh.
Wow. This has been months over due. But finally, the Over World Update!

Check this shiz out!!!



No paths for you fine folk since there are numerous secrets.

Oh what is this? New level screens? That's cool... I guess...




Here is one last thing, check in for [hopefully] more frequent updates now! We have a bunch of new content to show off, we were just waiting for a name for this mofo...

Speaking of which, what do you think of the name??

Super Mario Strugglez

It has been two weeks instead of one, but here is a new update! This time some more screens of the freshly finished level Greener Pastures, where you are tasked with navigating not just yourself but also a Dino Rhino through a grassy maze (did you notice him at the bottom of the last picture from the previous update? #w{=D}), and perhaps even more...



Also we have settled on the name Super Mario Strugglez for the hack, fixed some minor issues with the overworld and finally finished one of the secret exits (that will remain secret for now) that was on the to do-list for almost a year. Right now we are working on ironing out some more overworld problems as well as working on a Castle level and one of the more difficult levels in the hack, although that one is still in the ideas-sketching phase.

Unfortunately we both expect to not have that much time on our hands the next few weeks, although we may have enough previously not show material to give a few updates anyway. To make up for this we are planning a major update at the start of January, including an updated level list, great screenshots and more!
Of course you should fight fire with fire, you should fight everything with fire.

Oooh look at my userbar!

It has been over two years since this thread has seen an update, but that doesn't mean that the hack has been resting in the meantime! While we've only shown our progress on this super project at the C3's our level list has finally filled up, breaks have been discovered and fixed, palettes have been improved and everything has been steadily progressing towards a release!

So without further ado after all these years I'm happy to finally present you with something that will give you:
-Countless hours of puzzling fun
-An overwhelming supply of challenges
-A journey of introspection with Mario by your side

in the one and only Super Mario Strugglez Demo!
Of course you should fight fire with fire, you should fight everything with fire.
