Looks like a simple episode, which I don't mind. There's not much to comment on, but I'll try this out when you finally release it.

This looks good, and I see it is almost finished, I will try it once it is released!

This is quite nice and simple. I'll probably try it as well.

It looks nice, it reminds me of the old smbx episodes which brings me nostalgia.

Just came back to ask if you have any more screenshots, I'm interested in seeing more of the project. Also, I suggest a name change. "The Balls of Glass" just sounds weird, like "The Orbs of Power" or something along those lines.

Thanks for that, I didn't know myself if 'The Balls of Glass' sounded right. But could it be 'The Spheres of Glass' or something? Although, I think that sounds even weirder... anyway, I will think about it.

Yeah I find the name "Balls of glass" a bit weird, but "Spheres of Glass" sounds so much better or just like 64searchman46 suggested, "Orbs of Power" or "Orbs of Glass" can be a way better choice IMO.

New screenshots added!

By the way, would 'The Eight Orbs' be a good name?

Looks Like a Very Good Break From Usual 1.3 Crap, Shows That Outdated SMBX Can Still Do Well.

What do you mean by "1.3 crap"? Smbx even without new assets can do well as long as you have creative ideas and can design well or else it becomes very repetitive.

Most of The 1.3 Episodes in Modern Era Are Just Awful, But This Looks Like Professional 2014 Episode.

Added some screenshots again!

Some other names: 'The Crystal Orbs' or 'The Crystal Spheres'. Would one of them do well?

Postby **Eri7** » Sun Apr 07, 2019 11:23 am

The Crystal Orbs sounds so much better! Also the new screenshots look nice.

"The Crystal Orbs" sounds pretty dope. That'd be a good pick for a name.

Stipkip · Postby **Stipkip** » Sun Apr 07, 2019 3:00 pm

Oh wow, I just had a look on the internet and I saw that 'The Eight Orbs' is actually already a game of Mario and Luigi. But 'The Crystal Orbs' isn't, so that will probably be the new name.

Why did 'The Balls of Glass' actually sound so bad? Is it because I am not English that I don't hear it, or something else?

KBorg64 · Postby **KBorg64** » Sun Apr 07, 2019 3:56 pm

Well "The Balls of Glass" just seems like such unimportant name, with the orbs being magical artifacts, "The Crystal Orbs" has a better ring to it and sounds more fitting.

Also, "Balls of Glass" could be taken inappropriately, so...
