Description
Alternative title: Bon Bon vs. The Diglett UprisingI've got a few mock-ups I owe people and it's been a short while since I did those, so I started with Bons here as practice. This was really lazy and I still can't be bothered to learn texturing... because I suck >.> The background was originally going to be something backgroundy, but instead I decided to be lazy lazy lazyhooves and went with a sort of minimal confectioner's dream instead. The other idea was a kitchen scene, but I already had the sort-of-snowy platforms.
Otherwise the goal here was mostly to not just make a copy of the other platformer mock-up I did. I tried to take a different approach to the interface and the design stuff, basically. I'm not super duper happy with it, but when am I ever super duper happy with it? D:

I've actually been meaning to do something in the vein of Kirby's Adventure for some time now. This is a very good idea and thank you for reminding me xD

This one is an improvement, I would say... and I love the background too, it's cute, if a bit random

You really think this is an improvement? I mean, compliment accepted, but... I sure don't feel that way >.> (And it doesn't seem like anyone else has much to say

I do. The screen seems very condensed, but realistically it's just a drawing, to show you the gist of things. So yes, I do mean it, even if you disagree. The one I am comparing it to is [link] .
Aaand considering the amount of favorites and views (even downloads!) in such a short period, I believe others like it as well.
Not everyone is feeling like commenting.. and I felt like saying something a bit more than "looks good"

In such a short period? :P You must not have been keeping very good track of the other mock-ups. More than one of them breached 1000 views in less than a day, with comments and favourites out the ceiling and into the clouds.
If only randomly, the most important thing to really consider when you're designing for a platformer is how much movement space the player character has/takes up, and furthermore if there's any vertical scrolling. A character taking up 1/15 of the screen might not get a very comfortable play area depending on how cluttered everything is, whereas a character half of his/her size has a much wider space to work with.
I just kind of think the old mock-up is far less cluttered and more open, but I guess like you said, this is just meant to show things and not to be boring. I don't know what I'm rambling about by this point <_>

The views/favorites and stuff is scrunched to the side of my screen, I just happened to look at it. And no.. I've been busy elsewhere, and being in a funk making me think slow as swimming in molasses.
And very interesting tidbit of info for sidescroller platformers. :]
Slow day gonna go slow.
