Just go to their homepage to download instead of clicking the direct download link here.
Fixed the direct download link now.
Eep, let's hope Nintendo doesn't bring this down the way Blizzard brought down FreeCraft...
lame, I need Admin to install this?
So I tried compiling the source code but the build failed because it can't find png.h
SDL_image is already installed.
oh well, maybe I'll check it out when SMW grows up to be a .app someday.

This is flat out awesome. A great party game, and the bots can even give a single player a bit of a challenge. It's got all the classic elements of Mario, but with a TON added, while managing to keep it still looking and feeling like a true Mario game.
It's the sort of thing I'd expect to be on one of Nintendo's newer consoles, though with more content (it's already got a HUGE amount, but for it to be sold/distributed, I'd still expect a bit more).
And as to the people saying that they can't compile and install it... there's a binary distribution. Use that instead.
On surface level, this appears to be a clone of Bunnies from DOS and Linux. Multiplayer, stomp on each other's heads to get points. But I just downloaded this, and holy crap! More game play modes and item spawns than you can shake a stick at! Here's hoping for netplay :)
My kid can play this for hours with the endless variety of modes available. Many game modes are reminicient of the original Unreal Tournament, now 2-D, on small maps--tons of fun.
Comment and replies on svnX:
Actually, I prefer this to TortoiseSVN. If you prefer icon badging, there is a free, open source alternative for the Mac available at Tigris.
svnX is reliable, and nice as far as traditonal clients go, but I agree that there are better ways to do it.
SCPlugin is the TortoiseSVN "equivalent" for Mac OS X. http://osx.iusethis.com/app/scplugin
It's definitely getting there in terms of reliability. If it's serious mission-critical stuff you should probably stick to the command line client in any case.
Far better than this app (in my humble opinion) for most SVN tasks is ZigVersion. I should submit it here...
Does not support subversion 1.5
Does someone know, if it will be released soon?




Am I the only one who cannot get the game? Page always says forbidden. I had to Google it and use another mirror.
