| Pros | * Peach gets lead-role treatment in this game. Yay! * Presentation looks "Peachy" in a good way * Gameplay inspired by some Super Princess Peach aspects |
| Cons | * Control assignments are sadly a bit aggravating * Even though this game is in demo stages, the glitches should have been addressed before submitting this file. * Certain things in the sound department tend to get a bit annoying over time. |
Gameplay 7 / 10 |
Detailed version of what I mentioned in the Pros and Cons -- the "pro" is that in terms of gameplay presentation itself, it definitely is "inspired" by the Super Princess Peach layout while adding in certain elements the official game didn't (like lives and enery meters). Great job on that. However, my biggest issue is with the control placement (especially using the Up Arrow to jump, and holding down to read signs if hints are ON). The other issue is Peach's jump approach because she jumps too smoothly, and in most cases, it's easy to miss the other ledges to proceed further. I sadly have to say that there's a possiblity that someone could accidentally fall off course because of this. Also, on the map screen - there's some glitches to be fixed there too. Let's hope all of this gets fixed in the final game; so far, this nails a 7 from me. |
Graphics 9 / 10 |
Mentioned in "Pros" -- the graphical presentation definitely is Super Princess Peach material and really matches well in this game too. Along with adding in other elements that blend in on this front. However, we have an issue with the Peach sprite used for the map, so this sadly docks you one here. But other than that, great work on this end! |
Sound 7 / 10 |
Okay, Soiyeruda -- good news and bad news. Good news is that you used a good selection so far songs music wise; however, some were still a bit unnecessary and a bit repetitive. But that's not the really bad news. The REALLY bad news, Soiyeruda: The Peach voice samples you used are a bit repetitive and a big aggravating on the ears. Especially Peach's "Sweet!" You didn't have to use it on EVERY map and action level, really. This department nails 7. |
Replay 7 / 10 |
Yep, replay also nails a seven because of what was addressed above - this wouldn't be recommended for someone who has a small amount of patience. Unless you're a fan of Peach, this wouldn't be something to check out again (that is, unless these problems are addressed in the final game). |

Soiyeruda, I have to say that you have represented our Peach well, no doubt! However, attack the glitches and other problems for your final version, and you've gotten a winning fangame installment for us fans of Peach! |

I noticed it too. :P I still wish I was able to rate it higher (overall), but I still had to be fair on all aspects.
