General Commentary and Game Overview
In a huge mass of engine clones and that one grassland over and over again, Cyber Mario is a refreshing step outside with its unique theme. I would definitely be playing this if I were you.
 
Pros -Innovative gameplay
-"Cyber" theme pretty much mastered
-Excellent training course and level editor
 
Cons -Slightly painful graphics
-Repetitive, at times
-Could use more of the "action" element
 
Impressions
Gameplay
8 / 10
As I said before, very refreshing. The concept of placing and undoing blocks fits very well with the idea of a cyber world, and it's put together quite well. However, it could use some enemies or something; right now, it is a bit boring.
 
Graphics
7 / 10
They're very good for the cyber theme, but they can get to be eyesores after a while. Also, I couldn't help but thinking that some of the animations (namely that tetrahedron) had some function, while they were actually just decoration.
 
Sound
9 / 10
Again, very well-fitting with "cyber". If I were to make a suggestion for improvement, I'd say you should tool with some old 8-bit effects. The sound range is kind of limited, but I'd rather be lenient, considering this IS a demo.
 
Replay
10 / 10
The level editor doesn't lie; this is something that can be infinitely replicated, and still be fun. Not only is it quite fun now, but if some more action-oriented elements were put in, this would definitely be gold.
 
Final Words
9 / 10
Play this game. Do it now. It's well outside the box, and I can guarantee you'll enjoy it.

If there ever was a quote as truthful as this then it doesn't exist.
