Awesome submission! There's a lot of charm and polish, and the blend of 3D and pixel art is very asthceticlly pleasing. The music was a great fit too!

I clipped through absolutely everything. With my character somewhere in the abyss I was able to freely move the camera around and just... see the level. The graphics are nice and the music is fun!
It was cool to make a platformer that uses the mechanics of SMB2. I like how the level has multiple paths to get to the end. I took the sky route because I found it easier. Cleaver pun with the title of the game. Great entry!
I really like that you can pick up enemies and throw them. Also the game view amazing. I liked it. My only complaint is that I would love to go down when I use "down" and "jump" on platform. Good game!
Aw yeah, team 3d-world-with-2d-sprites-starring-biggy-heavily-inspired-by-classic-mario-games represent!
The Biggy sprite is very adorable and the SMB2 gameplay is all there. I really liked the creative take on the purpose of pipes. I liked the epic final boss battle, the perfect twist on the original. A very nostalgia packed game that also has a strong voice of its own.
The choice of sound effects in particular were adorable. Great job!
A polished, fun platform that wears its influences on its sleeve. Don't sleep on the overworld! Really enjoyed the art as well :)
Love the overall presentation of the game - 2.5 world and 2d sprites. I can see that this game was inspired by the GOTY Super Mario bros 2 lol. The controls were tight and I loved the overall feel of the game. Only issue I had were the platforms that were hidden underneath the screen in the underground section, and the pipe to the ceiling. Other than that great job!
i love the style! the jumping pipe at the end that gets swarmed by enemies was a little bit annoying, since it's pretty common to get hit by one of them on the way up (and since it's random chance which one is right, there's a good chance you'll die and have to repeat the level). also, i was able to just run past the pie boss and end the game lol, not sure if that's intentional. otherwise, other than being a bit short, i thought this was a neat little game :D
I am immediately captured by that art style, I'm in love!
I actually like the 2.5D style you're going with this. The animation, character, enemy, and world is so bright and nice. However I'm going to comment on the usage of pipes: I would recommend to find a better alternative for zone warp/shooter so it's not too straight in the face on what you're referencing :9
Other than that, the level design can do some adjusting: try to not put too much things into the screen at once, give them a bit of space in between things so player can proccess what's going on and where to go. Reduce the idea of "pick a pipe" and encourage the idea of exploring without getting punished(getting nothing). Also try to create a clear checkpoint rather than make player wondering if they have passed a new safe place or not.
Also try to avoid camera that hides path like this unless it's a secret and given a hint by environment shape that there's an actual path there.
Other than that, really nice work! I also love the title choice and overall vibes, really takes you back into a real classic.
Thank you for the advice and positive feedback! BTW, Legend of Lu was incredible. Everyone should check it out; good enough to pay money for.
Love the physics and the sound. The game is a really nice take on SMB2 (game of the year btw) and all the mechanics were implemented really well.
I think the level design is a bit unfocused tho and there are a touch too many enemies but aside from that it's really good.
Great job.
Wow A+++ on the graphics/animations, I love biggie so much!! Also, I just realized this game jam needs a lot more Super Mario Bros 2 type games! what are we doing people?!?
Great Job!
i died a lot to the slimes but thats because it was actually my little brother playing
