This is my second small experiment inspired from URL Snake by Demian Ferreiro. The first one was Tiny Horse, which used only one type of movement (jump).
Besides the challenge of creating a game in a 4 x 100 pixel scene with no color and limited characters, this time I wanted something more difficult. So, Tiny Mario reimagines the classic Super Mario Bros as a side-scroller with a low-fi, text-rendered style.
Your goal is to collect the most coins and reach the flag while avoiding pits and enemies before time runs out.
Again, the rendering mainly uses Unicode Braille cells (e.g., ⠤ ⠥). But now, the player can move in all directions, even going down to an underworld through one of the “pipes.”
There’s just one level, though. If you want more, feel free to add them. This is an open-source project.
I struggled to control tiny mario at first, but the game was very fun!
My 30minutes is disappeared 👻
Haha that was fun! Thank you for making it. Just curious what will be your next game :)
Gah! It's as hard as flappy bird! I was just starting to get the hang of it when I realized I should probably be working on other things. Such a cool idea though. Nice work!
This must be the best product launch I’ve seen in a long time!!! What a sweet idea and execution
I didn't know what to expect and I experienced Joy. I spent way too long playing this. It really shows that we don't always need an intense amount of graphics, but just simple gameplay mechanics. Well done @diegodottac!
