I really wanted a darker green, but the problem was that the current pallete that i am using, dosnt have more than that green color...but, I could switch it up easily. But im lazy right now so maybe later  |

I liked the color too, but make it less pronounced, and not so bright, that way it looks really good..cause that green looks good but is a little to bright, or maybe a darker green color |

Wow. Thanks for the info i never would of thought of that! Well, maybe I will release a version WITH color and one WITHOUT color. Hmmm. Thats alot of extra work though....
[EDIT] I have played around a bit with making him not jump very high. What do you guys think? It will make it more than a gfx hack and also if i feel like it i will make straight fireballs or whatever i change it to, and maybe his float speed. |

Hey! I liked the colored version.
By the way, if you want to change all the white into black, you could just change the palette OR use Lunar Magic's built in 8x8 editor's map filter function, which is what I do all my palette swapping with. |

Allright. No color it is. Good thing i have a back up! Anyways, if I put in YI Bg's then the white of Sketchy will make him hard to see. Should i just make everything black instead of white? (Thinks about how TLP dosnt have a fill option) *Shudder* |

Currently it looks like a glitch hack to me. With the "bad" palettes and such. So put it back to just black and white, and make the lines not only thicker, but not perfectly straight.
And that final shot...straight out of YI? HAHA, no. YI used very vibrant colors and shades, that looks like something from a bad NES game.
Your game looked awesome before the color was added. So just make the lines thinker and not straight, and make the game black and white and it will be 100% better. Currently with color it doesn't look that great.
Agreed. Also, make sure the ground has a lot of transparent parts, and use YI backgrounds that look like they're drawn by hand. So it's like the whole thing is drawn overtop of some old doodles.  |

Allright...What I will do is produce maybe a demo sooner or later with each to its own style, and i will take votes on whats cooler looking. Thanks for the input guys! |

I agree, it looked better as black and white. Now it just looks like the prize pig of bad mario hacks, sorry :\ |

New Screens! Well...same part...but its colored! And Chalky! (Except Sketchy)
Here is....you get it. Everything is colored but Sketch and the shell. And yes the Coin block is animated.
Bendy fixed.
Dead Coin Box....
And I took this cuase it looks like its straight out of yoshis island or just really good looking with colorfull suroundings! Well thanks for the feedback guys! It really isnt hard though scribleing gfx though lol. (Maybe you cant tell but there are open spaces to leave it chalkey such as the brown dirt.) |

For a second there I thought someone wanted to talk to me about something, since my nickname's nickname is "Sketchy". XD
And wow, someone actually remembers me? 
Anyway, the hack is looking rather good... almost reminds me of chalk on a blackboard. But it's not very chalky... it's like a sharpened chalk. Maybe make the lines more thicker and "chalky" or something, just like in Yoshi's Island. |

One thing the bouncy platform it was kind of intended to have balls that are "magically" held together hence why the graphics are not meant to rotate for the bed... Id definatlly reccomend maybe a "chalk-drawing" of it so that maybe it would not look like it gets chopped when it bends, or just make it into little circle drawings.
Other than that this looks very nice with chalky texture or pencil'ish texture it would even be better.
The status bar... Well i like it with color but the default coor scheme isnt very apropriate for the theme. Maybe just a palette hack with some more "pale" chalky colors. Or possibly edit the gfx to be more hand drawn looking, but I like the idea of having color in the status bar.
Edit: Will there be any inverted levels ya know looking how pencil actually looks black lines on white bg? |

I disagree. I think it makes the status easier to see. If you ever get a background, black and white status will end up being nigh-invisible. Sure, the status should be changed sometime down the line, but I'm all for the status being in color. |

Yeah, the chalky look would make it a whole lot better. It would seem... more hand-drawn.
Still it is a nice idea. I have an idea for a level that is all color and stuff... but I doubt that...
One thing: EDIT THE STATUS BAR COLORS!!! Yes, you heard me right, change the colors of the status bar. Right now it would clash big time with the theme. |

To add to this, try following the style used in Yoshi's Island on the chalk boards. I think it best represents a quick n' dirty drawing made by some random guy with a pencil.  |

Nice, you might try to employ a more chaulky look to the graphics, though. Ya know, like thick, pitted, and irregular lines. |

Yeah I have a bunch of ideas and plot twists ready for poor poor Sketchy involving drawing and such. I am now currently making a avi to show what it looks like.
NM It didnt work... |

Ooh, that's very cool, great idea! You could base the whole game offa the theme of drawing or something. The Black 'n' White are a good color combo. |
