I think it's a cool idea, but I couldn't figure out how to do anything except move!

Very clever. I like it :)

@nolacoaster That's the only thing you can do. Being a villain isn't always about being a badass killing machine that takes half of the screen, you gotta start small ;)
Notice how you aren't even a threat to the hero?

That's really funny! Took me a while to figure out all I can do is move, while all the heroes are passing me by. Awesome :)

Ah ah! Awesome idea!
I just wish sometime one of the hero jump on our head and smash us to the ground :)

Very... existential. I'm still smiling, thank you :)

Yeah, always wondered how the life of an goomba must feel like :) Thanks for showing us!

kinda funny, but that's about it.
Mista Kooauthor24 Dec 2012, 12:26
@Pitoum I wanted that as well, too bad I couldn't do it with my limited skills in limited time :(

Funny! Is that the Mario theme playing backwards? :D I find it hard to vote on this since it isn't really a game though...
Hatscat24 Dec 2012, 15:35
lol, funny idea ^^

When I found out what i was doing I really laughed

@Frozen Fractal What is a game :P?

Hmmmm, interesting idea, but maybe you went a bit too far with the "deep" message? It would have probably been more interesting if the hero moved a little bit differently each time, so that the goomba would have some (false) hope that something would happen next time.

Cheers!

While funny, it's not really a game.
Mista Kooauthor25 Dec 2012, 16:43
@cranha I wanted that, but couldn't do it with my skills and allocated time.

Funny! But of course, not much of a game. :) I still enjoyed it. The pause before the hero comes was just right.
Spelchan25 Dec 2012, 18:45
As with most games that call themselves "art" games, it isn't very fun. Still, it does make its point and you get to know what low-level villains feel like. Well done.
Mista Kooauthor25 Dec 2012, 19:52
@Spelchan I totally understand that but I wouldn't have been able to make a full game anyway.
Also it is only around 20 seconds long, not enough time to get bored :P

I love it! The whole 'negative' feel to its appearance and music is awesome.
goerp27 Dec 2012, 10:22
someone mentioned the Mario theme backwards? Sounds funny.
Too bad you dont have more time. The movement is good, the graphics are good , you have collision, so all the ingredients for a game are there.
There is also a consistent retro look and feel which is good.
I'm curious what you could do with more time

Haha, love it!

I had a similar idea with my game actually :)

Clever! That moment when you've tried everything and realize that you're doing everything that you can do, and you're fated to watch heroes jump by for the rest of the game was funny.

You sir just made the most humorous game I've played so far. Now I totally know how goombas do feel... and I do pity them : (
