This game was amazing! I loved every second playing through it and the maps looked incredible. Best thing is that my N64 didn't even die while playing this so that's just great. Defenitly my favorite so far. It's too bad that time seemed to run out but you have done a great job.
Thank you so much for these kind words!
I actually didn't know it worked completely fine on N64 as well, that's awesome :)
These maps are gorgeous! I love the music too. It's unfortunate that time seemed to run out. Nicely done!
That's very motivating to hear, thank you very much! I recommend watching out for my much more ambitious project Paper Mario Star Nova (which is being worked on without a deadline lol) :)
Well, what can I say? I didn't think we would get such gems when the Jam got announced. I mean the story, the design, just everything. It's also quite big for a mod that was made for a contest. Let's talk about the design first. You can really see that it was created by an experienced modder. Just surreal. It didn't even look like Paper Mario 64 graphics. I also love the story. Awesome plot twists and so creative. Each chapter (if you want to call it a chapter) also just feels different. I loved how the creator switched it up when it comes to the biomes (or should I say planets). Amazing mod. 9/10. The boss fight was a little bit too easy and you can see that the deadline caused a little bit of trouble. But I can't find any other flaws. Very impressive. You can really see that the creator put a lot of thought into everything. If this doesn't deserve the win, I don't know what does.
Wow, I think that might be the most detailed and overall positive feedback I've gotten this far. Thanks a lot, I appreciate it!
I really enjoyed the hack. It gave me the Paper Mario vibe through the start, and I did not expect less from you, the only Paper Mario master student. However, you can clearly see its negative aspects, since the deadline of the Jam was the reason for certain things. For instance, there were a lot of bugs, and you left the Koopa Prof. from the start of the mini-story off. However, I really appreciate the level, music and character design, as well as the references.
I am really looking forward to Paper Mario: Star Nova.
P.S.: Dein Haferbrei-Item hat mich bei meiner ersten Aufnahme des finalen Bosses gerettet. :P
Thank you very much, glad to hear that! :)
Yeah, I wanted to include Kolorado more; especially at the end, though the deadline was coming too close and I will therefore expand on it in the - perhaps - full version of the mod.
I hope you'll have fun with Star Nova as well!
Very nice looking and fun hack. The fact that it's a one person project is incredible.
The only thing holding the hack back from being near the cream of the crop is that it shows that the jam deadline hit it hard, but there is no shame in that
Thank you a lot! Yeah, I'll probably continue updating and expanding it after the jam to include all the ideas that didn't made it due to the time constraints.
Anyway, really glad you liked it! :)
REALLY liked the way this hack looked and the atmosphere of the whole thing (star hill music very good choice), and the planetoid approach was pretty neat. i do agree that the ending was a bit of a shame. the boss fight was way too easy, i didn't even get to eat the sacred porridge. i did do nothing a few turns, and i like the idea of the permanent water effect (assuming that was intentional). i do also demand a five page essay as to why Squirt was changed to Splash
Thanks so much for the feedback! Yeah, the boss fight was kind of a last-minute decision when I noticed that it'd be cooler to have like, an actual fight instead of just credits immediately. Therefore I unfortunately wasn't able to balance it as much as I'd like to anymore.
The porridge is gonna have a more useful.. use another time, so be prepared for that c:
(Also yes, the water attack was intentional!)
And yeah, honestly I just thought Splash sounds better, personally lul - I planned on changing Belly Flop as well, but those ideas all came in like within the last segment of development, so I was more focused on the main stuff
Still, I hope you had fun!
I really like the idea of "swimming" through space, if my team hadn't formed I would have made a hack with the exact same idea xD
But the way you executed it is really fun, exploring the small areas is pretty cool with their own quirks, but unfortunately you can feel the deadline hitting on this one.
Pretty good hack regardless! Short n sweet.
That's funny actually, well I hope you're happy your idea still came to reality somehow c:
Thank you a lot, Den! I surely appreciate it :D
An abruptly short but gorgeous little hack. I was disappointed that none of the trees shook when hammered, but I know that's a pain to set up. I had a good time with this.
Yeah, I wanted to include the tree shaking, but time constraints made me want to finish the more important stuff first.
Thank you very much for your comment and feedback! Very happy to hear you had fun :)
You can definitely see, that there were some problems with the JAM’s deadline, but overall it’s really cool and has charm, It has some really cool concepts too.
Thank you a lot, Dex c:
Yeah, I've tried everything to fix as much as possible in time, I hope you still had some fun playing :)
