Comments on: YouTube of the Week: Don't Press My Buttons Edition http://critical-hits.com/2007/08/28/youtube-of-the-week-dont-press-my-buttons-edition/ The Journal of Gamer Culture Wed, 23 May 2012 03:05:41 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.3.2 By: steve http://critical-hits.com/2007/08/28/youtube-of-the-week-dont-press-my-buttons-edition/#comment-60480 steve Mon, 03 Sep 2007 22:14:28 +0000 http://www.critical-hits.com/?p=1029#comment-60480 the one thing that really bothered me was the part when he hit the music box to turn coins into blocks then slid back onto the "mole" (real Mario term unknown to me for that thing) he slids real close to falling off the edge and you have the "stumble" effect happen. Whenever I played Mario games the only way I ever saw that happen is when I moved him to close to an edge myself, never seemed to happen on its own. But what bothered me was the fact that after just a few seconds it stopped, but there was no backface to suggestion player intervention. Though if it was all none player controlled its pretty neat. the one thing that really bothered me was the part when he hit the music box to turn coins into blocks then slid back onto the “mole” (real Mario term unknown to me for that thing) he slids real close to falling off the edge and you have the “stumble” effect happen.

Or maybe it just gave the player time to hit one single down k key. Still impressive if that's the only one. The sliding I believe- it was a slidey game, especially when you got moving, and they could have just taken some surfaces from other levels and used the same physics.

That, and I don't think you would slide without a button press either - though clearly, they could have programmed something in there.
