Re: Level Contest Japan - cave story
The pause message thing is, like the broad design and graphical elements, lifted from the original game but modified with additional quotes and with some references removed - which itself I think may be a nod to Eversion.
God I love Pause Ahead and I love this re-imagination of it with Mario.

Re: Level Contest Japan - cave story
i think the moments where you were expected to move reeeealy slow were a bit off but otherwise this was a pretty great level yeah, even if the concept isn't original
i've honestly never played a video game in my life

Re: Level Contest Japan - cave story
As everyone else said, this is incredible, though not original with the concept/aesthetics. It still has really nice design while accounting for smbx's weird character momentum.
My only gripe with it is that it's so long that it's more of a whole game than a level, haha.

This is probably my favourite level in the contest.

Re: Level Contest Japan - cave story
I meant the original Pause Ahead references Eversion with one of its messages, and the very messages themselves are a lot like the ones in Eversion.

I get the impression the entire thing took less time than any individual room of minimal maximal though soFrozenQuills wrote: ↑6 years ago As everyone else said, this is incredible, though not original with the concept/aesthetics.

Re: Level Contest Japan - cave story
I remember seeing Pause talked about in codehaus and then spending a good chunk of time playing through Pause Ahead. Easily the level I've been looking forward to the most in this LP.
And oh jeez, thank goodness you accounted for that death glitch, 0x! Or SMBX just happened to work like that. Either way, major relief rao didn't have to replay up to that point.

I think he didn't. The pause button is just not properly overridable.Rockythechao wrote: ↑6 years ago And oh jeez, thank goodness you accounted for that death glitch, 0x! Or SMBX just happened to work like that. Either way, major relief rao didn't have to replay up to that point.

Re: Level Contest Japan - cave story
This level would have been greatly improved without the dumb author messages at the beginning of each room and the removal of the Pause screen messages.

Re: Level Contest Japan - cave story
That was amazing! I had no idea you could replicate Pause Ahead with LunaLua. It's just so powerful now! Today's level was such a great homage to the original flash game. Congrats The0x539!

Re: Level Contest Japan - cave story
That message about Mario having to live his whole life again whenever he dies reminds me of Roy: A Life Well Lived from Rick and Morty.
Also I liked this level.

Another good pause message would be NON-GRINDY DIFFICULTY

Re: Level Contest Japan - cave story
"A black wind blows through you" is actually Cave Story. Chrono Trigger's is "A black wind begins to blow".
Also, the first 'you' reference was Keep Going.
