General Commentary and Game Overview
In this game, you can only run forward. It was very challenging, but almost impossible to beat the levels. It would have been alot better if you were able to move on your own but I like the idea. There is also a level editor where you can changes sprites and such. Not bad.
 
Pros - Very original - Level editor - Various graphics
 
Cons - Only able to move one direction - Always moving at the same speed
 
Impressions
Gameplay
7 / 10
The game would be alot better if you were able to run on your own rather than only being able to move in one direction and at the same speed(which made the game very difficult), I liked the idea but it started to get frustrating after a while. You can also get stuck. More enemies would be nice too, it got boring killing the same ones all the time. And the koopas should go back into their shells and bounce back and forth when you hit them instead of them just dying like a goomba or another normal enemy. This could have been much better but it was fun playing for a little while so I'll give this a 7/10.
 
Graphics
10 / 10
I liked the idea of having graphics from the original Super Mario Bros, Castlevania, and Ice Climbers. The enemy sprites, blocks, coins, and other items fitted well with the levels.
 
Sound
6 / 10
The music was descent, very basic but stuck to the types of levels. There were also sound effects for dying and jumping. The sound for killing the enemies was all the same, it would be better if the sound for killing a goomba and koopa were different for example.
 
Replay
5 / 10
There isn't really much replay value if you beat the game. But with the level editor, you might want to create your own levels and play again so I'll give this a 5/10.
 
Final Words
7 / 10
This game was fun for a little while but got frustrating after always dying from being able to run in only one direction at the same speed. However, being able to create your own levels was a great idea so I'll give this game a 7/10.
