Under rating threshold (show) well, johnny upgrade was timed while here standing still does nothing to deplete your energy, so pros could likely experiment a bit with the shortest ways of getting through. the only part that even requires a bit of timing are the goombas which look like more like their super mario world counterparts than the original game, also planning out how to get items for upgrading faster seems to be key as well as seeing the most coinfilled route.

Under rating threshold (show) Great game, but short. Needed a candy cloud castle or a Bowser Gym end stage. Otherwise 5/5

Under rating threshold (show) I hope Nintendo won't copyright strike those pipes 'cuz those pipes are suspiciously similar to Super Mario Brothers game. Create a Super Ordinary Marathon based on this game just multiplayer. Great game even though the start is a little bit sluggish. 5/5

While the graphics are meant to be reminiscent of the original Mario, it's all original stuff, no worry. Thanks for your comment, I'm glad you liked it!

Under rating threshold (show) Johnny Upgrade, but better, that's probably the best way to describe it, I didn't want to replay Johnny Upgrade. And yet here I am a day later, playing this a second time.

Under rating threshold (show) Fun game for those who like it. There were some buggy platforms in places though (at the beginning of part 2, I try to fall between the platforms [just after monster] and I get moved up to the top platform)

Under rating threshold (show) This is a very cool game, and I am enjoying it thoroughly. But it really throws me off using ESDF for movement instead of WASD. I dunno your design choice there, but if there could be a way to rebind, would be much better.

+ - !

Developer response from SmallIsBeautiful

Hey, thanks for your comment! I used WASD initially but it throws off AZERTY users. Using ESDF was the easiest way to make it easy for everyone. You can also use JoyToKey to map controls to a gamepad!

Under rating threshold (show) Very nice game! Ability to go back to prior level after winning would be nice - always fun to re-do levels once you're super-upgraded!

Under rating threshold (show) video game gets rid of upgrade. Anyways is there a third level or is the second level the end? i beat it and it says the end but that's what it did when i beat the first level today.

Only 2 levels. But the credits are playable too.

Under rating threshold (show) Hey, not everyone is using a QWERTY keyboard. QUERTZ is also pretty common :(

+ - !

Developer response from SmallIsBeautiful

Thanks for bringing that up, I've changed the WASD scheme to a more international ESDF scheme. You can also use the arrow keys along with C and V instead of Z and X.

Under rating threshold (show) I'm not sure of the requirements, but in order to go left and skip most of the level, I was on day 25 and had Running 12, Jumping MAX, Punching 4, Climbing 4, and had the Yin-Yang at a price of 6 (I forget how many times I upgraded it). I jumped to the left and it teleported me to the top of the far right side at the end of the level next to the cake. I also found if you position yourself correctly and are too close to the side when you jump, you can fall out of the game and lose energy without being able to see or move your character forcing you to reload the game.

Under rating threshold (show) Very nice Game indeed. BUT, is it possible for you to change the Keyboardlayout so that European Players could use X and Y instead of X and Z? Would be nice. Thank you.

Developer response from SmallIsBeautiful

Thanks for bringing that up. You can now use C and V instead of Z and X. I also changed WASD to a more interntional ESDF. Hope this helps!

Under rating threshold (show) It's an interesting concept but very repetitive. Especially when all your upgrades reset.

Under rating threshold (show) why cant up arrow be jump?

Developer response from SmallIsBeautiful

Fixed it. You can jump with up arrow or W for wasd scheme.

Aug. 13, 2019

Under rating threshold (show) I found by accident, that it is possible to get to the end on the first level by upgrading your jump boost enough and jumping left. After further testing, I determined that the same was possible on the second level as well.

How did you do that?? I can't reproduce it.

Under rating threshold (show) Punching seems to be way more efficient than walking... when you punch it takes less stamina and you move forward. So if you keep punching the whole game then you'll reach about 2 times than expected

Under rating threshold (show) Fun game!! The animations for when you run out of breath, and buying things are maddeningly slow though.

Thanks for the feedback, I tweaked the timing a little to make it faster. I think it's better now.

Under rating threshold (show) The enemies shouldn't be able to hit you once you run out of energy. It just delays your next run, and I've once gotten stick where two enemies and myself continuously hit each other. I had to refresh the page.

Under rating threshold (show) @Givvy: punching them can kill them and it gives you 1 gold. You can oneshot them when your punching is leveled enough.

Under rating threshold (show) I like the repeat\redo idea for getting stronger and faster to clear more of the level. I had a lot of fun on the first half. The punching is completely pointless as it does nothing but stun them for an incredibly short amount of time (Same as jumping on them) so there is 0 point in wasting money upgrading it. I think you have a really solid idea here, but I think it would be in your best interest to remove all the SMB stuff, design your own content and maybe take this one step further with the upgrades as mentioned by other commenters.

Developer response from SmallIsBeautiful

Thanks for the comment! You're wrong about the punch though. ;) All graphics are original, made by me using the original NES color palette.

Under rating threshold (show) I must say that the second part feels a bit annoying, because it is the same thing happening all over again. It is still fun though. It would be nice if you could think of something to give a sense of progress when getting to the second part. Other than that, really nice game, 5/5 :)

Hey! Thanks a lot for your comment. That's why I kept it down to 2 levels. :D I'll be looking for ways to make a worthy sequel.
