General Commentary and Game Overview
Ah, the Purple Coin. I played this game a while ago, and I enjoyed it. This minigame beat the competition easily, but how? Winning gameplay may have something to do with it. Good job Miles.
 
Pros - Great idea executed well
- Good controls
- Good graphics
 
Cons - Short...
 
Impressions
Gameplay
7 / 10
Story: You are a lost coin, trying to avoid being collected. I have never seen an idea like this before on MFGG. Great job.

Gameplay: This game has some great ideas. You have to hide from the bad guys. When they are nearby, you can CONTROL them and make your enemies fall to their deaths. Or you can possess an enemy and beat others down until they fall to the floor, dead. The game scores you on body count. Once you are collected, the game is over. Once again, great idea. Great execution. The game only has one stage however and is kind of short.

Controls: The controls are fine. They explain it to you in game, and I have no issues with it.
 
Graphics
6 / 10
Graphics contain mostly edited Super Mario World Sprites. They are okay. Overall, I don't have much to say about the graphics.
 
Sound
6 / 10
Sound is good, but not too special either. Meh.
 
Replay
6 / 10
Getting a better score is fine, but the real selling point here is when you can constantly kill the bad guys! This is good fun for quite a while.
 
Final Words
7 / 10
The Purple Coin is a great minigame. It's excellent ideas will win you over, for a while.

Come on! This is only a minigame, sure it's not worth to have a score that low. Yeah, it's harsh.

I am sorry that my scores are so harsh, but I really think a minigame's shortness limits appeal. I will not change this review, but I will try to be more forgiving next time.

...how is this a "harsh" score? Exaggerating a bit much? :/
