Amazing job on this!

I'll be away from the 24th of July for a about a week.


This is amazing. I like the consistant graphical style to the game ad the YI Styled OW. How long will the hack be?
Hopefully pretty long. This looks amazing! Can't wait to see more.
Why not go to my Youtube channel?

I'm so close to a decision of include all you supporters in the ending credits in-game, you are just too cute for me to resist!

@ Jacob: Thanks! Yea, as I said in the introduction, the style of the hack is inspired by YI. I will probably "enchant" the level name screen a little bit. Also, this hack would not been the same at all without Jimmys ports, notice that. Btw, I agree with you on the music selection for the underwater part, I saw it after I made the video. I'll choose another track later. EDIT: My plan is to have no status bar like it is now, the coins are just there to guide the path and function as progress signs

@ KingGoomba304: Thank you! As I said to Jacob, I will change it. I will probably just use the same track as the main level.

@ Midna: Thats good to hear, I was kinda worried people would be disapointed when they saw the motion pictures. The P-switch music turned out quite cool actually, but I'll probably use another track for it.

@ two_headed_yoshi: Thanks alot! The grey mush is just a regular mush, the block can take a second hit. It is grey because I want it to look like it is stone/more solid. I got rid of the small bonus star with these two hex edits:

01253 $00:9053 3 bytes Layer 3 Change to EAEAEA to get rid of the small bonus stars. Use in conjunction with address x01268

01268 $00:9068 3 bytes Layer 3 Change to EAEAEA to get rid of the small bonus stars. Use in conjunction with address x01253

@ Rameau's Nephew: I'm not really sure how to interpret what you said.

@ MarioFan22: Hehe, thanks. I don't mind how many views the video has as long you guys see it. I just love all the feedback I get.

@ ninja boy: Thank you! yes, the block has lover jumps. If you are familiar with the tree physic bytes, I've changed all of them to 06. (I guess that didn't made any sense)

@ Error 52: Thanks! yes I know, I will remove that by using this hex edit:

2CFE4 | $05:CDE4 | 1 byte | Sound effect | Drum Roll (tallying points) Sound Effect.

@ anclunn: Thanks alot! I know, there is a 90% change that I'll change the GFX and the abilitys of the power-ups. And, yes, I'm quite familiar with puzzles, just check out my kaizo hack.

@ everest700: Great to hear! The level GFX is not so similar to YI, but my goal is to get the mood be like YI.

@ Sniggerb0bble: Thanks snigg! The level design is pretty much done, I'm just gonna implement some more decorations and a midway point. As for now, I'm trying to make the levels look nice and be kinda straight forward.

@ maddened hacker: Thanks you! There will be some more hostile wildlife, not only blocks in all versons.

@ 1UPdudes: Tyty dudes! I will probably add some custom sprites, but I just love to replace and be creative with the old ones.

@ LarryMatt101: Hehe, fynny quote^^ I appreciate it!

@ JDC: Thank you! I'm not sure how long the hack will be. There are gonna be 4 levels in each world. And there are 6 submaps, so.. 6 * 4 = 24 levels, probabply.

@ Ownerthugz: Yea, as I said to JDC, 24 levels, but probably more. And dont look away from a eventual sequel. Thanks btw!

Here is gift from me to you guys, eat it while you wait in the "lobby" for more updates...
*clang* Does anyone have a wrench to screw my jaw back into place? Anyways, this looks awesome Uhrix. I love the custom drawn graphics and the creative themes of a block as a player. I like the choice of music, I always was a big fan of Yoshi's Island, nothing wrong with the music at all. Great job so far, I will certainly be following this hack a bit closer.

*Awaits patiently in the lobby*

I like the YI themed OW and levels. I like the goal point as well.
The design is pretty good, and the style of the hack is very cute. It's a shame that block can't jump too high, but you get used to it. The hand drawn graphics are pretty nice.

I'll support this.
i just lurk sometimes

Consider, if you will, the normal relationship between a turn block and the spin jump (it is not a happy one). Now consider what sort of things it could possible mean were a turn block itself to master the spin jump.

There are, of course, several distinct directions one can take such a locomotive of thought in.
I think it's very sweet how you're acknowledging this hack's supporters in the credits. I can't wait for the next update. (Thanks for the blueberry, by the way.)
*om nom nom nom* mmmmmm thanks.
jokes about om nom noming aside its realy hard to wait for youre hack though "the best of thing come to those who wait".
What? If you say put loads of munchers, then that would not be good.
OMG. Seriously, you have won.
This is the one hack I do not want to see canceled.
The music fits perfectly (except maybe the underwater theme), the graphics are amazing, and the level design is great.
From what I see, you have limited his jumping powers and his speed. This adds a better and more realistic gameplay style (which is ironic considering you're a block #w{=D})
can't wait to see more.
ask me if i give a f*ck...
*eats blueberry* *OM NOM NOM NOM NOM*

I bet this hack will be featured the moment it comes out.
Not sure if this has been mentioned yet, but is it jsut me or does the block jump REALLY low? I LOVE this hack btw.
Your layout has been removed.
Awesome... Simply put, this hack has just spun the very concept we hold dear of spin blocks (pun totally intended) right round, like a record player! (second pun intended way more)

Imma support this hack actually, considering the GFX you put into it and the time it must of took to. First hack to support ftw! :3

Likes in a hack :
Kirby in general, ESPECIALLY Marx.

Dislikes in a hack :
Blandness and blah. Kaizo difficulty is A PAIN.

Favorite Hacks (so far):
1. Brutal Mario (ONLY because of the Marx boss)

You've received plenty of praise already but I came here to say that this is the first hack I've ever seen where I wanted to take the Title Screen and make it my Desktop Wallpaper. Wow. Simply stunning.

One of the problems that tends to come up when a hack deviates more from the Vanilla end of the spectrum to the Chocolate end is that it tends to feel less and less like Super Mario World. The crazier Japanese hacks have this problem. A Block's Life looks almost nothing like SMW and has a load of YI inspiration but it still feels like a SMW hack - so very good job with that.

I'm kind of wondering what sorts of graphical substitutions you'll be making for some of the enemies so you can readily identify them - spinies, etc. I'm sure you have all your bases covered though. Wow. Again.
Oh, and to show my support even further, I revamped the userbar... Anywho can't wait to see progress, and if I can, may I be a beta tester? It'd be my first, but also probably the most exciting. :3

Here's the improved userbar... Added a bit of shine and some retro stripes. :D

@Uhrix thanks for the hex edits but how do you conjoin hex edits? I have never learned this before. so if you could help me out or point me to a tutorial that would be great.
Looks amazing! The block has an awesome spin jump animation. Will the spin jump be able to break blocks? It would be HILARIOUS.
Finally got a layout :D!
One suggestion and one question:

There's a sprite for fast OW movement. If you delete the walking frames, your arrow will look like it moves instantaneously.

Qustion time: Will you have a block-like muncher? I would love to see that!
Adam= Stuff you don't want to know.

Once again, your hack has blown me away. Love the Yoshi's Island Samples and Stuff. This is one hack I'm definatelty gonna check on a lot in hopes of more info.

P.S. Like StephenH, I would also like to be a tester! It's also my first time testing! (Well... It will be if you accept) #w{=)}
Why don't I say that one number? I don't have time for him!
