how the hell av you gone n made a trilogy? whenever I finish a game I never wanna see it again, nevermind make two more.
I made a game that was a mash-up once. Mighty Tower is basically Meat Boy+Gravity Hook divided by what makes both those games actually fun. I felt fine about it cos I never got it sponsored or ads or nothin.
I didn't feel like I did good enough the first two times so I'm trying to make a final one that's great lol.
I had fun playing Mighty Tower, I just wish there was some variation/power-ups.
I'm trying to make a game right now that is a ripoff of Cave Story in terms of gameplay but will have hopefully unique and fun concepts everywhere else, including the worlds, stories, and items. I guess that doesn't exactly make up a match-up but it is essentially one game being morphed with other ideas into something fairly different. In the end, it'll still be looked at as a Cave Story ripoff because of the gameplay, but as long as it's fun to play and is a new experience, I don't think that's a bad thing.

I think mash-ups are fun... Tuper Tario Tros. for example combined two of the most popular games of all time (Tetris and Mario), so it was pretty crazy that no one ever thought to do that before. Plus the mash-ups themselves can spark all sorts of new ideas... Like I wonder how many people are now wondering how they can merge puzzle dropping and platforming in other new ways, or maybe they are wondering what other classic games could be merged that way.

I forgot about Tuper Tario Tros lol. But I like mash-ups too, it was just bothering me how everyone called the guy a ripoff when I thought his idea was pretty original, even though it could've been executed better.
I wonder if you could do something like Tuper Tario Tros except with platforming. Maybe like Tetris Plus with multiplayer, or one of those match-3 games.
