A thing I am making

I still want to add a bit of decorations, but this it pretty much the route I'm going with at the moment.

EDIT: Also sorry about the crappy screen recorder. Lesson already learned for next time.

While the aesthetics and the new tileset do look good, the player is given the impression that you can't walk through the lavafalls, given that they're the same color as the interactable lava. Other than that real nice, looking forward to this.
Oooh, looking good bruh, glad to see something reminiscent of one of your older works. Very nicely done. I really like the aesthetics to this, it's brilliantly done. The lightning in the windows makes me shiver.
Looks good, LV. I really like the new tileset and the lavafalls. Looking forward to this.
nothing to say

That's great. Really creative use of the tiles man!
Neato. I was always one for SMB1 styled levels. Heck, my 5th VLDC level was half based around the SMB1 bridge levels.
Other than the fact that this looks damn amazing, are the piranha plants placed too low on purpose?

Probably to look like the smb1 plants, though, to be honest, it would be fine if it were put normally.

If you noticed in the video, I placed a few enemies just before the lava fall so by the time you get to it, you can see the enemies walking past it letting you know it can't damage you. Not really sure what other colors, whether darker ot lighter you would suggest.

Thank you, glad to see someone got the reference. Unfortunatly due to the way this contest is being judged, I'm not going to really have a choice but to change it later on as the level name is a dead giveaway.

Despite the name, the SMB reference was related to an old hack I made that Skewer mentioned above.

I haven't applied the PPlant fix yet (which I thought was supposed to be included in the base rom) so the plants where dropped down one tile for the video so it wouldn't show the glitches tiles.

To everyone else, thanks for the supportive comments. ^_^

It IS applied. With this I now want to know even more what you're doing :D

Nothing new I can show off at the moment, but I did change the name of it. As I stated before, keeping the name as it was before would have been a dead giveaway to the judges that know my work.

Word play on Volcano and Castle. This is gonna be fun. :)

Just as an update, I think I will be dropping this. I just can't get the motivation to finish the level like I did last year and I don't want to just shoehorn the rest together and turn it something mediocre. Kinda sucks cause the tile set was a bit of work to put together. :/

You shouldn't cancel, this is already a nice gimmick, something new and fresh since I've never really seen an SMB1-related entry.

I was going to cancel my entry because I honestly don't believe it's good and I could do better, but I think this gimmick is already good the way it is. If you cancel this, you may have the urge to rush the entry, but then again, that could just only apply to me.

Looking pretty good. I really like the background, and the overall aesthetics but i would recolour the Flames, their palette looks a bit off.







I agree with Luks. You may also want to find a graphical replacement for that wood thing supported by the ropes, since it doesn't look like it's a ledge you can stand on (had same problem with my entry).
Besides these issues, it's a pity if you're dropping it. Maybe you could team with someone so that you can finish it?

I was thinking of doing a team up, but this late in the game I think everyone who was going to make a level or team up had alrady done so.

Yeah some of that stuff still need a bit of a recolor, but eh, maybe next year :/

Where did you get the lava waterfall graphic from?
