A plumber with a Portal gun. What a novel idea. The two-man team over at Stabyourself.net are hard at work making that idea into a reality. Simply called Mari0, the puzzle game will be coded from scratch and will have a level editor. It’ll support downloadable map packs and the original Super Mario Bros. level are due to be included. AND, it’ll be freely playable on Windows, OSX, and Linux.
Here’s a short video of how World 1-1 of Mari0 would look like, with added portals.
The release date is a nebulous at the moment. Keep updated with the team’s progress at Stabyourself.net.
Update (March 08, 2012): Mari0 is now available for all to try! Teleport yourself to stabyourself.net/mari0 and download it for Windows, Linux, or OSX.
