Here we go, my cupcake!
I can see the much effort that you put into this hack.
here some bad things i want to say for now (in general):
WEIRD PALLETES:
Ok, this hack is very varied but sometimes some scenarios look weird
at first looking. The Yoshi House is one them: blue and pink mushrooms
side a side in the background. And the HDMA is the same thing.
If you want a good visual ambience, you need choose better colors.
Tip: Use pictures of real places for color reference!
FEATHER IS BROKEN:
This ins't a new thing. When Super Mario World appeared the feather was
the best powerup for brake a level. A simple example: is possible to break
the last part of the first castle flying with a yoshi.
Tip: Try control the fly function of the feather on levels with ASM!
LAYER 3 CONFLICT:
Yeah, the famous "My layer 3 is dissapearing when i hit a message box!".
If your hack have much information, don't put them on every level, really.
Mainly on a stage with Layer 3 actived, because this is inportant.
Tip: Find a cool way to give information for the player without be boring
OR create a
Read-me with all information that the player need to know.
THIS IS VERY HARD:
Ok, this is subjective but the difficulty curve is notable. The first world
is easy to medium but in the third world the difference is very high! I think
that put various enemies one after other don't make a good challenge, instead:
this just make the thing more annoying for the player!
Tip: Since the hack have more than 100 exits, make the first 3 worlds easy and
slowly add the difficulty.
FINAL CONSIDERATIONS:
Despite the
weak traditional history and the little things above, i think that
you can do better. Is notable the much effort you put into this but a good
hack needs be very polished and bring FUN to the player.
Otherside it have nice ideas like
"collect all Yoshi Coins to receive a
bonus star for unlock a special level at the end of the game" and stages
like when you need to defeat a team of Hammer Bros. Yeah, i like it!
This hack (for now) don't is
too bad but for be a hack very long needs
of more work and a variety on the gameplay (new gimmicks).
So do not hurry and make it with love and calm, ok?
Good Luck and happy christmas!
