Luigi's Game

[GrooveMan.exe]

I never said it's intentionally poor. I don't believe it is, but that is just your opinion. Only the graphics are what you can refer to as 'poor', but you're talking about the actual game - that's entirely different. And yes, you are supposed to bounce off the Goomba into Bowser, and no, you don't return to the start of the level when you die after reaching Bowser. Are we talking about the same game?

That's the thing - as the graphics were poor, and the leveldesign intentionally aggravating, it has a negative effect on the gameplay in general. The flames are especially annoying, because the hitbox is very unclear - and because Luigi isn't particularly maneuverable - the fight with Bowser progressed past 'parody of bad' and reached 'annoying & not fun'.

If that was intentional, then you might want to reasses what you think is good games design.

Please don't say "YOU WON'T APPRECIATE IT UNLESS YOU BEAT THE GAME" again please. If the game isn't fun, why would I have the motivation to beat it? Not to mention the ending is probably an anti-climax after all this...
