MaGL X2 - Cat Planet × Pokemon OTP

[Willhart]

Newer fought that thing on Mario before. Very interesting. Really neat patterns and variety there. It was like fighting a Ninja or something.

The first level had some very nice technology too. I like how the layers reset back to their original position, and the randomization gimmick.

I told you guys i won mafab

[7:37:39 AM] XxX_fR0z3nQu1llS_XxX: this boss is REALLY neat
[7:37:46 AM] XxX_fR0z3nQu1llS_XxX: looks difficult though

[7:38:25 AM] XxX_fR0z3nQu1llS_XxX: can't
[7:40:31 AM] Farrink Anjl: technically for the time being raocow could go into lunaworld.lua and disable the message log part of the code, I think finding it wouldn't take long considering he's preventing a million deaths
[7:40:47 AM] Willhart: It is fortunately already fixed.
[7:40:58 AM] Willhart: Should not see it happening again.
[7:41:09 AM] Farrink Anjl: it's just unfortunate in this episode
[7:41:26 AM] Willhart: Yes
[7:42:35 AM] Farrink Anjl: if Windslash won maglx2 the boss joke would be ruined, he must have bribed the judges
[7:42:53 AM] SnoruntPyro: yeah he got ultra lucky with his placement
[7:43:22 AM] Farrink Anjl: oh hey it's that guy
[7:44:01 AM] *** Zyglrox Odyssey takes the shoe out of the oven ***

[7:45:12 AM] Willhart: Really neat idea.
[7:45:29 AM] Farrink Anjl: the logger is raocow killing tool
[7:46:16 AM] Farrink Anjl: the flavour was on point 30/30
[7:46:18 AM] XxX_fR0z3nQu1llS_XxX: thank god I made the boss easy

survival of the fittest, leonaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaard

[FluffyMeatloaf]

Ehhhh I think I'll steer clear of the predictions this time, ha. Any prizes for the folks coming in dead last at MaGGotRoaCCC? :P

It's a Fish, Silly
Ahaha, the return of the fish, this time with card powers. Really well done, though it does seem like a few of those formations are best handled with an emphasis on survival rather than dealing damage. Nice that the Monk Realist provides a bit of a break, too, while still letting you get some hits in on the boss.

Championship Boxing
While it might be a touch nonsensical, it still looks like a great boss. Everything keeps the player on their toes, and the biggest hazards come with fair warning. The block snake part is particularly active, and I like how during the one phase the blue box has a shield of bricks to bust through first. Really darn good, yo.

Congratulations to the cartoon dog :P Now you better start seasoning that shoe.

where's my orange name

[FrozenQuills]

Wow that was a really neat boss Windslash! It was a bit difficult but I loved the varied and random attacks, they were super cool.

...but...
It looks like I did end up winning MaFAB after all. WOW. I still can't believe it, and now all of these shoe posts are going to haunt me until the end of time...

But yeah, dev commentary below:

I don't think raocow got the reference, but I based the boss on this old MaGLX level, "What Blue Box?" by Anshwo. It was rather forgettable but it left a bit of a plot potential due to how people pretended that the blue boxes don't exist or something, but they were used for something important. Considering one of the cards I got was a snow forest, this was the perfect place to start a concept for a Question Block boss.

So yeah, I made all of this in one day. It was made with a combination of vanilla events/layers and lua for the transitions and attack card texts. I had to get creative as to how the cards are used since some of them like Mana Short or Soul Burn are really weird. In fact, the reason why I put the "this boss made no sense" message at the end is because I thought the judges would not understand the card usage at all, but it looks like that's not the case! Hahah.

I made Mana Short an attack that limits the character's ability to jump and move since the card text says that it empties a mana pool, which usually means limit your ability to actually do things.

Serpent Assassin was rather obvious; snake blocks and goombas trying to "assassinate" you.

Azorius Keyrune was also easy: white and blue flying creature? Obviously flying koopas.

Furnace Whelp was pretty hard to figure out an attack for, but I decided to have fireballs fly offscreen and have the player imagine that the whelps are offscreen, lol.

Soul Burn was also hard, and I thought no one would get this one, but it turns out the little sparky things kind of look like souls so I used them.

And finally, Final Punishment is the Question Block trying to maim the character by giving them a taste of their own medicine, only to have it backfire and the boss taking over double the damage via shell and mother brain.

And that's my boss. I honestly am super surprised because I actually thought my boss would appear before my level, and that it would be in World 11-12 or something. And now I have to eat a shoe...

Well, considering I am but a dog I can't really take a video of myself. However I did conjure something in case this would happen.

AT LEAST I KNOW FOR SURE THAT I AM THE WINNER OF MAKE THE BIGGEST COP-OUT CONTEST!!!

(here is the boss btw)

[Zephyr_DragonLord]

Well... they're here.

You already know who won from the post above me, but we'll go into further detail.
(Man, I am off of my prediction game!)

2nd place: Windslash: It's a Fish, Silly!

This is an amazing gag, first off. Everything goes by quite fast, and the challenge for survival is difficult, while not feeling too unfair. The card usage is incredible, and the safe card makes a quicker fight feasible, but it also makes this fight really RNG-heavy. The natural conclusion to this, of course, is to cast him as fishin' fish guy. You really did great here.

1st place: FrozenQuills: Championship Boxing

I REALLY like that title pun, especially since raocow is Canadian. (I... don't quite count.) The usage of cards here was great, and I could tell what you were referencing for each one! The fact you had a running gag for that long is really impressive, too. It also helps tht this boss is fun, yet challenging. Fantastic work, and I hope you're alright after eating that shoe... or coppin out, that's fine, too.

Now to see if those voodoo dolls are correct...

[S.N.N.]

First place was great. It utilized all of the cards in some really clever ways (especially that Serpent Assassin one). Congratulations on winning FroLAST MESSAGES

i think rao needs a controller big enough for his yaoi hands

Nice to see Trotim in the top 10. I knew him from a long time ago. Good fella.

[Sniggerb0bble]

Oh man wow, many congrats FrozenQuills for your first place, you definitely deserved it. And many congrats to you too Windslash, you didn't win but you still did an exceptional job. I don't feel like I really have the ability to say anything meaningful in terms of critique for either of these, so instead I shall you both with a bow. There, I bowed.

This gave me a hearty chuckle. Bummer about that cop out though. A better cop out would be to bake a shoe-shaped cake or something.

Speaking of shoe eating, there's a documentary that might offer some ideas on how to go about doing the deed.

Don't need to guess already, since the host has told the answer. :3

---
Anyway, regarding the windslash' boss, allow me to give an unpopular opinion: I might give only around 20.
Uniqueness will be 10, but fun factor will be 5 each.

The idea is very nice. In fact, if I am allowed to give more than 10 on uniqueness, I don't mind giving a bit more.

But, it seems annoying to play, especially when randomizer decided to troll you hard.

Maybe I am wearing raocow's goggle, so I am not really impressed by the level.

No offense.

Just that in some parts, the vegetable is at the area where it is EXTREMELY risky to access.(And some parts are also not easy to just BARELY survive.)

A bit too luck-based.

Maybe I will die till I rage-quit.
When MAGLx 2 is out, I am thinking about trying this level.

[Trotim]

Explain the Shoe thing to me.

Nice to see Trotim in the top 10. I knew him from a long time ago. Good fella.

Heh aw thanks, is nice to be recognized (even if I had some crazy issues back then)

"I'll eat my shoe/hat if..." is an idiom for "I'll be very surprised if...". For when you really don't believe in something happening

Obligatory didn't expect to make it this far, thought FrozenQuills's level was better than mine even... but at least he won the boss contest!
cartoon dog bias

Can't believe we're facing off against the Top Entries for MAGLX2. It feels like it just started yesterday.
