Temple of Time - WIP

[Alagirez]

Yep, my WIP entry. I'm kinda unsure if I actually follow the rules so I decided to post here.
As usual, feedback is appreciated.
Also no music yet because I haven't found any. If you have some music reccomendations, please tell me so.

edit: I had to withdraw because no motivation to finish. I'll still going to finish this in the future.

now first off i'd just like to note that giving the player smb2 mushroom blocks during time stop lets them do this:

Spoiler: show

which can be used to bypass most of the intended solutions.

as for the level itself, i think it'd be more interesting if you experimented and found ways to incorporate some more unorthodox behaviors npcs have during stopped time into the gameplay - as it is it's just time stop behaving as expected (which doesn't make the level itself bad in a vacuum but y'know)

Using rooms.lua is getting close to not having minimal lua content. Understandable if you want a lot of checkpoints per segment and instant to respawn. The level feels like more to a Vanilla contest than a Science contest. I would say it was an way for the devs to fix a lot of stuff before rolling out new content for Beta 5. Everything works as it should and there aren't any unintended mechanics/funny glitches. As suggested you need to find weird behaviors aside from Mushroom block momentum conservation during time stop. Don't overdo it too. It is supposed to be a short, simple Uno Mas-like level.

As for the music, I won't go crazy for a short level. Something simple like SMM2 SMB Forest should do the job.

That gif actually gave me idea for some reason haha, but yea I have to be aware of this trick. Might force the player to do that idk
Anyways, I'm super agree that I should experiment more on NPC behavior stuff during the stop time.

Thank you for the input and the music suggestion!
