Quite good fun, but gets a bit repetitive as it's easy to hit the plumber once you get the hang of it. Nice graphics & sound!

Its repetitive, but its quite fun at the same time

Nice pixel art! The game itself is ok, but the music didn't play for me.

Excellent theme implementation. I feel bad for all the Koopa's I've killed over the years now!

Awesome graphics, really like it.

It's sorta like Flappy Bird: it repeats over and over and over but you just want to get to the next high score.

I'm afraid it would take too long to get to 100, especially with the score resetting. I am not turtle enough. :P

Nice art! Looks like something that would be on the Game Boy Advance.

Super hard, super fun, and a bit repetitive. I can't get past 3 :I

Another Mario-inspired entry where you play a turtle! We clearly had the best idea.

I thought you nailed the art and music style. It was very humorously satisfying to pull off a successful hit.

I appreciated how he changed up the jump occasionally, so it wasn't simply a game about hitting the timing perfectly without anything else going on. The challenge to get to 100 points, while simple, adds some replay value for the completionists, and was a smart idea.

Ha! Very cute idea, I liked it. :) Plumbers psyching me out though... Frustrating! :P

I enjoy the "play as bad guy" style coming out of this LD. The mario-like graphics look pretty well done.

Looks good and plays well, but its rather frustrating to lose your score so easily and the waiting between each try is too long.

Nice game. Fits the theme. Looking from the eye of little monster. Waiting for a mario to come.
Graphics and sound nicely done!

Great graphics, simple, fun, challenging game! I included it in part 2 of my Ludum Dare 33 Compilation video series, if you would like to take a look :) https://youtu.be/ml0OKpi-I0Y

After a while, little boring. But this one have a big potential to be mobile hit!

Overall a lovely little game, very fun, I could see people sinking in a lot of time to get high scores. The pixel work is fantastic too, very good!

Damn, hitting ugly mario is SO satisfying!
I love the attention to details, like the turtle that goes walking quietly when it lands... awesome.

Games using the already established popularity of well-known characters always start with a huge bonus. Most of the time, there is nothing beyond that bonus. It's nice, but strip away the mario and it's really short-lived.

This reminds me a lot of the game "Spike Trap: A Love Story" though a bit simpler due to the time constraint. I love how this game is oozing with style, and it was fun but did get repetitive pretty quickly. I am however pleased to see your entry supports pretty much any platform available.

Very well polished and difficult

Great idea. The art and sound were done well. Really liked the idle animation for "not-mario". Got boring once I got the mechanic down, though.
TheZiggy27 Aug 2015, 21:31
Really addicting and fun! I'm going to be spending way too many hours trying to get a score of 100.

The art and the music are both very good! 100 points might be too much with all this waiting though. :P Aside from that, good job with this! More variations would make this even better in case you decide to expand on it. :D

Really awesome. After a while though, once you get the reaction skill necessary, it starts to feel pretty slow.
I only got up to 9 though :( I wanted to see if more cool things happen later, but.. it takes so long, even if it's not too difficult. Like, you start counting minutes instead of your score.

I don't have a good suggestion though for how to tweak it without ruining the gameplay already in place.

Anyway. Amazing graphics! Really great. Pretty good sound and music too. Simple idea that really works, besides the point above, which I nevertheless consider fairly minor.

Cool idea, this would be great on smart devices with touch screens. I enjoyed it, it's just a little slow for my liking. Needs speeding up to be a great, quick game to play on the bus. Good job.

There's a turtle... she's ugly... everything's in the name :)
I really like the mario under influence ;p very punitive and fun gameplay.

Cute and entertaining entry! Loved the soundtrack. Would work great on a touchscreen device

Lot's of fun but I couldn't tell when I died. Overall a very cool game well done, I would love a version for my phone.

Pretty cool. Got up to score 10. The game can be quite stressful as you start to score higher.

I feel like the presentation, while beautiful in its own way, doesn't quite fit the gameplay. The hold'em up minigames are usually presented in a super-tense way, so I kind of wanted a more tense experience. I do, though, like that the Mario aesthetic gives an excuse to add extra curve-balls into the mix, such as a fake-off.
