General Commentary and Game Overview

A game about collecting coins. Don't worry, it's better than it sounds on paper.

Pros	challenging fun Xbox-style achievements endless replay
Cons	*No high-score list; you have to keep track of it yourself

Impressions

Gameplay 9 / 10	Much more entertaining than I expected a coin-collecting game to be. Dodging the spinies and bullet bills makes it a challenge, and the Xbox-like Achievements are fun to do. When you collect 50 points it changes over to an intense flying mode with falling bob-ombs, then switches back to a harder version of the original platforming mode if you can manage to collect another 50.
Graphics 8 / 10	Very colorful. Has a coherent theme. What else can I say? It works. Be careful if you have epilepsy or a slow computer, though. The flashing colors could easily aggravate either condition.
Sound 7 / 10	Average SFX. There is only one BG music track in the entire game, and while I can't really complain much about a Ricco Harbor remix (that tune is always catchy as ever), an actual Mario Kart Rainbow Road theme would be more fitting.
Replay 10 / 10	Like any good highscore-based minigame, this has limitless replay.

Final Words

Greatly exceeded my expectations. Don't let the coin-collecting theme scare you away, this has the highscore game lover's seal of approval. You will have to keep track of your own score though.
