Ratings and reviews

This has the potential to be a fun game, but the controls are extremely unresponsive- specifically the move left/right buttons. The jump control seems ok comparatively however. You can only take one damage before you die and have to start over from the beginning of the level as there are no checkpoints. So, the controls being sluggish cause frequent restarts. It is not really fun having to replay each level 10 or more times.

Have yet to open it. Does Nintendo know that you ripped off Super Mario Brothers? I'm sure you changed some parts of it besides how the characters look (although not by much). Even the shadow thing that I am reading about has ties to some later games in the series. I might try it a bit later to see what is different but I literally downloaded the game just so I could leave this comment. If you are going to rip something off then at least get the controls right (the main complaint in the reviews.

The idea of becoming a shadow is fun, level design is pretty fun too, but the implementation sucks. Main character moves like bag of potatoes. Can't press a button and see them moving in a moment. Jump is like being thrown, not able to control where they're going. Shadows break my brain, because you can't see half of them because of foreground. And clown boss. Was it scrapped from some PC game? Because it's an overkill for how poorly the main character feels to control.
