Haha, I like it.

Overworld's a little empty, but other than that seems pretty good. I guess you want to finish it by christmas so you're starting early?

I really don't know if it will take that long. The overworld is being worked on.

The level and graphics look nice. Though it bothers me that the BG is only snow.

Also, yeah, decoration on the OW is a must.

Cool!

Im gonna support this hack due to it being one of most unsauls ones Ive heard for a while.

Also if you have time you could make a sqeul like
"Hammer Bro saves Halloween "

XD

That bush makes the ground look really cut-off and nasty...

Apart from that, pretty nice so far

Ever read those Garfield books? They got a lot of strange things about saving Christmas in them, such as a snake, a snail, a toll booth guy, and others. I'm not insinuating anything, of course. Just thought I'd bring that up.

Interesting concept, and it should be interesting to see how well you execute it. I'm more or less curious to know just how smooth the Hammer Bros. frames are.

I suppose my only real complaint that hasn't already been mentioned would be about the red Koopa. I rather dislike the red/orange-ish outline that is has - it doesn't really match the black/grey outline that every other sprite has. I would suggest changing that.

Seems like you are on your way, aside from the issues brought up.

Hehe. I might work on a side hack.

considering you're pretty new at this, it's pretty cool. Just fix what has been mentioned and you'll be doing great

Here is a sneek peek at Level 2:


I am just starting on the overworld so do not worry.


I could not help it!


Looks like nothing is here.


Oh S***!


Masterpiece!

BTW, I need serious help. If you help, you get credit and this awesome userbar!

Here if you can help:

In the request section, I needed:

We need a little Christmas song
BG FG Santa's Workshop

Thanks if you can!

Eh, that's pretty hardcore, I would change that to maybe one bullet.
Especially hard for level 2!

The way the snow cuts off around the moon makes it look very ugly and strange. I would almost suggest removing the graphic of the moon entirely and leaving a pure black background with snow.

As for the level itself .. looks kind of linear and uninteresting, to be brutally honest. It feels extremely flat and dull. I would suggest what was already stated, and spice it up with some coin blocks, or coins, or anything, really.

Also, I'm sure you are already aware, but the status bar palette is ugly for the timer and Yoshi coins.

Wanna try this 2.10 level hack?

Ok...

1. Title Screen - Hammer Bro dies. No suggestion.

2. Intro - Screwed up BG. Well its not really a problem except it and 1. give a bad impression of your hack to people who havnt played it before. I suggest changing the BG to a YI Winter one or something compatiable with the FG at least.

3. Not a problem but Hammer Bro stays still on the OW when he moves. Just a bit akward but it dosnt really matter.

Well your levels were good.

Ok for a beta but these things need fixing up...

I'll give this a 7/10 for now ^_^

I did not get to edit it yet. Big mistake.

To others: Please don't talk about the dying or the screwed BG in intro. I am working on it!
