Hello. I'm from Ukraine. I made a game about Mario's adventures.
new adventures of mario - Welcome to my homepage.
Couldn’t make it work because Java, but good luck with your mario project!
Hello. you are playing on a Mac. System. But I know that there is Java there too. but I don't remember the Mac version.
SO YOU'RE TELLING ME THAT YOU MADE AN INFINITLY REPLAYABLE MARIO GAME!? AMAZING!!!
Thank you! Hope you enjoy it
Howdy! Just wanted to drop a note and say that I randomly found this and ended up playing it on twitch today (allie_nord) - *REALLY* love it! I'm rather inexperienced at SMW so it's challenging, but I feel committed now and really want to try to get through all the worlds. THANK YOU so much for building this and making it available!
Next update is dedicated to you c:
Woah, cool. Pleeaaaaaase make it playable on Android. Been enjoying the Spelunky classic android port and it seems game maker games can be ported to android fairly easily (Undertale and Nuclear throne ports exist).
So please. *sniff*
This is a great idea. The original source code actually had mobile compatibility, so it should be fairly easy to do. If I ever return to this project I might do it. Thanks for your comment!
i got a lot of lives.
Woah!! Was this done with the bullet bill thing?
I like this game a lot but there are a couple of issues. The first being that the random events have absurd amounts of difficulty for being random and out of control. And the other issue being the bugs that this game has such as enemies spawning on top of you and invisible blocks that appear during gameplay. I hope this game continues to get updates to hopefully fix these issues.
Hi! Thanks a lot for playing it and specially for the feedback. The thundestorm will be rebalanced as soon as possible.
I agree 100% that the invisible blocks are VERY annoying. It’s also a very pesky bug that might even be the engine’s fault but it will be fixed in the next update.
i like this game but i really want the power up test facility where is it can you tell me
edit :- or give me a hint
edit 2 :- i saw the video made by israel blargh
edit 3 :- Found it just go left once and up 3 times although can you add yoshi and goomba shoe like powerups to it too please
Good idea! Added to the To-do list. Thanks a lot for playing :)
