pretty neat idea. I like the concept, but it wasn't really scary...
Maybe make the game a lot darker and have the lantern as the main lightsource.
Also, the princess seemed to move quite randomly about the castle, which isn't a problem in it of itself, but losing track of her was more annoying rather than terrifying. Maybe adjust her behavior a bit, let her react to you collecting figurines and heading for your position, and maybe give her a bit more of a cue, more than just the alert sound when she's close, but give the player a way to notice if she's in the area or far away. Maybe that's what the wind sound is for but it played continuously for me.
I also ran into some stuttering, it seems, whenever the princess was close. It made it harder to escape from her or hide in a treasure chest, but not in a good way ;-P
As I said, though, neat idea and I'm going to keep an eye on this to see where this is going!
really enjoyed this game!, the style was really spot on for a mario game which was really cool, only thing i would of liked was abit of a add on to the end of the demo maybe a cut scene, or a jumpscare or a reveal of who is really in the castle something to entice people to come back, but honestly gameplay was great and looking forward to more!, gameplay above if you enjoy be sure to hit that sub button guys!
really cool game, i dig this slenderman type mario game thats really has a n64 super mario vibe with a twist! Check it out if you like mario and horror :D
This was an amazing game demo to play, I saw that ZachbealeTV posted a video on youtube about this demo and I couldn't help to try it myself before I watched the video. This game is a great example of horror from our favorite retro gamesm, it has all of the nostalgia and new elements to add the horror aspect. I will say that this is the first horror game that I was able to take in, it was very intense once you collected the first star, but it's overall really fun! And sure getting caught did startle me a lot, but it was enough for me to be able to play it again. 10/10, I can't wait to get the full release once it comes out! P.S. I can't wait to see how hard the hard difficulty really is
the game is very well done and very
good graphics but the bad thing is
that if you are a little far from peach
it does not chase you but if you get a
little closer it already chases you but
the game is very well done
This is incredible, I loved every single of it! there is however a bug in the foutain where you can climb and peach will never be able to reach you. Fantastc work I hope you'll release the full game soon
The Best Horror Game I Have played great job in Making the castle and the layout is amazing. I Loved feeling trapped in the castle trying to avoid that cutie Princess Peach lol the trophies that we have to collect are super cool as well. You guys have to play this its great from start to finish. @CM9 Animation I cant wait for the second part or the full game take your time in making the rest of the game your doing an AMAZING job!!!!
This was an amazing horror version of a classic game! The demo was simple but enjoyable. Looking forward to being able to explore more of the castle! Would love to see the AI for princess peach have more movements or actions added to make it a bit scarier. The sound design was really good, after taking some time I felt I could really get a hang of avoiding her by listening for her movement. Looking forward to more updates! Great work on this, I loved it!
okay I played version 0.1.1 through to completion. Despite the game's simplicity, I found it enjoyable. It's definitely inspired by the likes of Slender and Granny, but that's okay of course.
I don't have any harsh criticisms because it's a demo release, but I'll say sometimes the AI is a little wonky. I've stood right in front of her and no reaction until I get pretty much in her face. other times she saw me through the wall or floor and entered her chase mode. Luckily she never actually found me then. The actually death jumpscare is okay, but it really gets you once or twice. Maybe add in variations based on where and how she gets ahold of Mario.
To end it on a positive note, I enjoyed the little attention to details and the exploration factor. The progression milestones even somewhat match the OG Mario 64 game(which admittedly I'm hazy on because sadly I never got to play it myself). And one of the more eerie things is hearing Peach utter a soft "Mario" occasionally when you jump in a chest. Rather spoopy.
In short, it's a beta game. Don't expect much JUST yet. But despite this and with this in mind, it's rather good. I see potential and want to see where this will go next.
What an INCREDIBLE experience. This game did such a good job of making the player really feel like they were trapped in the classic game, but with a horrifying twist! The Princess AI seemed a little "goofy" at times, but it was still very challenging yet fun to play through and avoid here! Very much looking forward to the full release!

Thanks for your suggestions! I'll try and implement them in the following updated. I'm also working on the AI lol

Yeah the AI is pretty bugged lol, but I'm working on it. And thanks for playing!
