Description

This fan game is not an action game like most Mario fangames, this is a level creator. It is packed with enemies, bricks and blocks, items, and even Toad checkpoints! You are able to create up to 8 different games with up to 12 Worlds each. You can select BGM from a list of them or upload a saved MIDI file to use.

Pros

  • Many kinds of enemies, from Rexes to Frozen Munchers.
  • Includes moving blocks and directions to make them do stuff.
  • Select from many kinds of levels.

Cons

  • You cannot use bosses.
  • Sometimes the publishing of a game goes wrong.
  • It is hard to get in between 2 bricks/blocks with only 1 block space in between.

Ratings

Music: 10/10 What with the ability to upload your own music with the various music already in the game, it is very good.

Creating Levels: 8/10 You really do have very many things to choose from, but sometimes things go a little wrong…

Testing Levels: 9/10 You can’t really say much for stuff like this, but there’s that thing where if there is only 1 space in between two blocks, its really hard to get through. In fact, you just might fall through the block BELOW you!

Playing Levels: 10/10 Once you actually start playing the game, then bugs are eliminated.

Total: 9 ½/10 This game is quite good, and it is fun to make your own stages. What I do to replace bosses is improvise with many enemies or just a really hard level.
