Once I "Beat" the eyeball memory boss and am start to run away with my chosen partner and Dark, my screen goes black, and the music still plays and I can use the menu, but moving around isnt doing anything! I'm so stuck! Please help!
I like Markiplier my self, so I thought this game was awesome. The graphics are great, and the controls were a bit hard for me at first, but then I got used to them.
Let's Play part 1: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EFAXs8Lcg1Y
I did a few run-throughs of the game. I went different paths, got different endings, and I think I've compiled a fair list of both bugs and praises. For the most part the bugs were pretty mild. There were only two that caused some real problems for a playthrough.
First are a couple grammatical errors. Very simple ones to fix. They mostly seemed like typos.
1)Mark and Tim's names weren't always capitalized. Same with the word “I”.
2)In the very beginning of the game, after the wine bottle breaks, Tim uses the word “defeat” but the “t” has been left of the end, so it's “defea”
3) Tiny Box Tim is not capitalized in the fighting screen.
Those first three are ones that I didn't even catch on to at first. Not really a big deal, but I thought I'd point them out.
4)Beyond grammatical error, but still involving text boxes. There are a few occasions in the beginning when Tim is given a word box, but no words are in it. These are moments when Mark praises him for one reason or another, so he looks very excited. My guess is that these word boxes would just be saying something like “Yaaaay” but for some reason there's no text.
5) When you first exit the house and go to town there are a couple of bugs. The first is that the grass around the inn acts as though it's an impassable wall. You can't walk on it. There's no fence or other item indicating a reason you can't pass through- and there's even a character walking around in the back yard.
6)Beyond the inn, in the town's Southwest corner is a rise of land with a house on it. When I try to enter the house I get an error that shuts the game off. It reads “Unable to find file: graphics/Faces/03 Lloyd”
7) In the ice caves you enter just after joining with Tim and Luigi, there are a couple of random spots on the floor that kill you. They say that Markiplier fell off a slippery ledge, but there's no ledge around. And in one of the spots where there is a ledge, even when I move carefully it sends me off automatically, even though I didn't step towards the ledge.
8) Also in the ice caves, there's a more obvious bug- though not game breaking- if I'm right in assuming that it is a bug. There are blue squares that I assumed were ice mounds of some sort, and thus you shouldn't be able to walk over them (assuming it's like a maze you have to get through), but I could in fact walk on them and cross over the area fairly easily.
I'm sorry that I don't have video or pictures to point out the exact places where the issues occurred, but I hope I gave enough description to point you in the right direction. I really did enjoy this game. I have a few points of praise I'd really like to go into too. I didn't want this review to be all about the bugs, because I want you to know that the game's wonderful, even with a few issues here and there.
The music and art first off. I loved every icon, every bad guy, the title screen. I know a few different artists (including yourself) worked on the project, and I love the way it all came together. The mix of styles was fun and refreshing and really made me have a good time playing it. The music was also amazing. It really set the mood for each place, and when I saw in the credits that you'd done it yourself I was even more impressed. Not all game creators have the time/skill to work on so many different aspects of their games themselves.
The general game play was fun, and there were a few times I found myself laughing pretty hard- particularly when the cameo characters came up. I'm a huge fan of Legend of Zelda, and Luigi is my favorite Mario character, so you hit a couple nails to the head there. It was super enjoyable.
One final thing I want to talk about is the Corrupted Self Image boss. That boss was... Beautiful in a very bitter sweet sort of way. It kind of hurt having to attack it, and part of me really didn't want to. The things it said between each attack in particular were... heartbreaking. Because they were so real. “They will hate you too”. The boss's name gives away exactly what it is and to a lot of players, I think its art, and its words will hit home. I'll be honest in admitting I've never felt like that, and I was still hurting for all of the people that have.
And there's one final thing I want to say, but not as a tester to a game creator. I wanted to save this last part from one person to another. You are a very creative spirit, and have a lot to offer the world. I hope that you keep finding good things in life, and get a chance to surround yourself with loving people. This game was fun, and if it is at all a good reflection of you, you seem like an amazing person that's been kicked down for no good reason. And I hope that you have a good life.
Thanks for giving me, and others, the chance to play this. I'm sure Mark will love it.

Mark wakes to find that several days have passed since his journey began... what has changed in that time? What has stayed the same?
Will mark ever escape back to his world and the fans he loves so much?
