Erm...

I'm glad you're enjoying the game, JinxBM! To reiterate what Kimimaru said, the fact that you took the time out to send us suggestions shows that you'd like to help make SMBO better, and we really appreciate that! Your suggestions were perfectly reasonable and respectfully presented, and we are not the least bit offended. If you go through the Suggestions board, you'll notice that there are pages and pages of suggestions. We actually still do read and appreciate every single suggestion that gets posted even if the game is no longer in development.

Just to help you understand some of our decisions a little better, SMBO is a fangame with many custom features/concepts but is still heavily based on games in the Mario series. For example, if an enemy has less Attack than your Defense, you will still lose 1 HP because that is how the battle system works in the Mario RPGs. We followed the Mario series very closely yet put our own spin on many game features. This doesn't mean that you shouldn't question our decisions, because you're certainly welcome to do so, but I hope this helps clarify why certain mechanics work the way they do in SMBO.

Of course, many of your concerns were all features custom to SMBO, but I thought this would be good for you to keep in mind as you progress through the game!

Thanks for your feedback!
