Super Snack Time! by adsilcott

[raw]
made by adsilcott for LD33 (JAM)
Our second Ludum Dare.

All of the artwork was painted in a "natural media" style with ArtRage:
https://www.artrage.com/

How to play:
ASD to attack.
Don't let your plants go hungry, they will wither and die.
If too many of your snacks get past it's game over.

See if you can beat my high score of 2930!
It gets crazy around 1000...

That was a lot of fun. I liked how you kept the player from only using one plant all the time by making them die, that was pretty neat.

Man, love this painted art, I dunno if it's a filter or original painting - but looks just great! Awesome game. Music is also great.

Wow! This is brilliant! Love the little animations for marrio :P Look a moment to work out the controls but that was part of the charm. Thanks! (music was great too)

Really fun game and it looked and sounded great, killing Mario was surprisingly satisfying.

Nicely done, it was weird that some of the marios didnt make it to the end by their own mistakes, but that made me laugh so thats good:P, loved the oil paint like style

Oh so many marios hahaha. The mechanic is very sweet. That was a lot of fun.

My favourite one! You touched my Nintendo based heart.

Pretty fun entry. I liked the whole risk/reward mechanic of making sure your plants get fed even if you have to let the Marios progress a bit further.

2990! Managed that by just spamming A+S(+M) and then trying to catch any Mario left with D. The nice thing about spamming M is that the Marios begin to fall over a lot, making it much easier. Felt a tad too luck based, but a nice simple game nonetheless!

The music is great! I sat and listened to the whole song before I started the game, I haven't done that on a game in a long time and something I loved doing back in the old days.

Love the idea too though it was a bit rub your belly pat your head for me, my brain couldn't cope haha! Once you get the hang on it it's really fun and could easily become compulsive with a leaderboard between friends. nice work!!

Nice little game.
Awesome to play. Beautiful graphics. Not much to improve I guess. Maybe different death screams. The same sound over and over again gets a bit repetitive.

Nice and simple and pretty fun. A good formula for LD success. It would be really cool to see some variation such as: Marios start to shoot fireballs, toss in a few invincibility stars then they could kill your plants. The music is great and I like the paint on canvas artwork.

I got 150... I'm terrible at this. It's so hard to focus on both sides of the screen at the same time.
I like the art.

Haha, great game, I had fun playing it. I got till 2410 after I worked out the controls.
Then I tried some button mashing and then I got till 2980, hehe. ^^ Well done!

Bloody hell, you weren't kidding when you said this game is hard. Hilarious that the snacks sometimes fail to jump properly and get stuck on the ground!

Fun but a little hard.

I thought this was easy until I realised you actually should be keeping all three plants alive. I love the music and use of wilhelm scream!

absolutely gorgeous. The painterly style of this game is really quite a rare treat. The music was also quite nice (although I'm guessing you may have taken it from an outside source since you opted out of the music category. Still, excellent selection!)
The gameplay was nothing terribly new or novel, but I did like that the Piranha Plants would die if they were over-used without actually catching a Mario. That was a clever anti-spamming measure.

Wow, controlling three plants at once is a lot harder than you'd think! Nice game

there is a lot of games where you are an enemy of classic game, but the plant of mario is the best!

Love how the Marios mindlessly swarm, fall over and get stuck on their backs. Adds a lot of comedy value.

Love the art style and the music, they fit very well together. The game is simple but fun, and Marios flying everywhere is pretty hilarious.

Cool game, and honestly I think you should've gave yourself an audio slide because I would've given you another five right then and there!

Definitely a fun game! I loved the little mario's! At first I thought I couldn't use the plants too much or they'll die, but realized I could just keep mashing the buttons.

It might be interesting if there was a limit to how fast you could use them, if they had to recharge, it might make the game more strategic! It's fun though!

Great simple arcade game :) Nice graphic, it gives an original smooth look ! great tune too... I think it's already getting crazy at 600/700 ...

Hehe, nice game. It does get crazy, but I managed to get 2940. :)

Very funny and great oil painting art style. Only at game jams can you experience these twists on classics. Screaming Mario tastes great and is less filling.

Really cool. Kudo's for the music and the helpless marios that land on their backs. They deserve to be eaten.

Lovely, original artstyle! Liked the concept and the nostalgia. Would have loved some screamvariation though, even if it were just a small pitchshift. Anyway, good job!
