Heyyy! We made it! This was a tough one in part because sideview jank and in part because brain didn't brain this month, so it was a bit down to the wire even with the extension.

 

Cool to see both Lejes and I had the same idea with making an enemy pack rather than a single enemy. Amused by all the Mario enemies made with Zelda 1 enemy sprites. And of course the obligatory Mario Maker dev exit.

I almost didn't get this done because of catastrophic Subscreen Problems. And the Koopas lost their heads because the two tile ones loved the floor and being inside it. I love how the Generic Sideview Walker pack plays around with gravity. Having a collection of little guys is so important for sideview screens, even if they're just a brief interlude in a larger top-down quest. I hope people use these going forward. I would have experimented with 3.0 scrolling sideview stuff, but learning new things and procrastination mix like oil and water. A life lesson there.

I need to try these out at some point. I don't have a full review or anything, but they look really cool.
