General Commentary and Game Overview

What more can I say? Good remake! At first, I thought it's just an exact clone of the G&W Gallery 3 version with better graphics. It turned out to be something even better.

Some of the game can be improved; but in overall, it's something you must try. Definitrly try this is you happen to use Windows and like G&W Gallery. (Really, why doesn't this site has non-Windows games? Flash games, for example, can come in SWF format without the EXE frame instead.)

Pros	- Nostalgia - Even better mechanic than the original, giving twists to what's existent - Good graphics, good audio, blah blah blah - Nice details (items to carry, flashing "press right for hard mode" indicator, etc)
Cons	- Doesn't support press-and-hold input - No interrupt save (one thing for me to like G&W Gallery among other highscore-based games) - Steep difficulty curve (may not be friendly to new players not knowing how G&W works) - No specific support for different monitors (can't change to exact size easily; aspect ratio doesn't maintain)

Impressions

Gameplay 9 / 10	Excellent. Only complains are what mentioned in the "cons" section.
Graphics 9 / 10	Excellent. However, gradient / filter transition makes it difficult to determine when is a certain platform standable on. Toad's stance is also strange - should have individual "hold item" graphic instead of carrying the item on head.
Sound 10 / 10	Excellent. That's some serious dedication there. Who else would actually request for remixing uncommon music just to make a new game? The whole thing looks like it is a full-fledged, commercially available game!
Replay 10 / 10	Game & Watch games are always replayable. And this game elaborate on that even further. Nothing to be said here. Oh yeah. "Excellent".

Final Words

Just take a look at my review. I just wrote "Excellent" in everywhere, because it is.
