General Commentary and Game Overview
Another try to make an interesting Super Mario Galaxy remake. And it got good in some aspects. But, in my opinion, it's rather demo or minigame than full game.
 
Pros + Nice level design
+ Drawing Paths to Stars function included
+ Gravity direction changing
+ Quite fun bosses
 
Cons - Gravity controlling is bad
- Some frustrating moments, like Sparky Boss battle
- Too small
 
Impressions
Gameplay
7 / 10
You control a Goomba. You must collect all the Stars in this game to win. You must avoid obstacles and fight with unique bosses in order to collect some of them. Also, you must use your mind to complete mazes (like Wooden Maze or Bomb Maze). Yes, you are look like an explorer who discover treasures in this galaxy, but galaxy's gravity is bad organized, so it makes the gameplay frustrating sometimes.
And what about enemies? The player won't find lots of them in this game. And they are quite hard to beat (like those spinning things which shoots fireballs at the player) or quite simple (yes-yes, Thwomps are). This disbalance in different areas dissappeared me and influenced on the gameplay score.
 
Graphics
6 / 10
The graphical design is nice. You can find Super Mario World, Super Mario Bros, and custom Goomba sprite made by Chaoxys. But, in general, there is no interesting effects, and all sprites were overused. So i give it 6/10.
 
Sound
6 / 10
The same as for the graphics. Nothing special, anything was used a lot, but it's nice. At least I didn't want to turn speakers off during the game.
 
Replay
6 / 10
There is no reason for replay. You have explored the minigalaxy, you have found all the Stars, you have nothing to do there. But, if you want to fight against big fish, large spark and spinning-things-which-shoots-fireballs-at-you, you can try once more.
 
Final Words
6 / 10
The game can be turned into something more than it is now. I enjoyed exploring the minigalaxy with Goomba, but it is pretty short for the full game.

When you say "Too small" on the Cons list do you mean the game's length or the screen size?

Of course the game's length. Nobody said that I can't press F4.

To be honest SMW graphics are used much, SMB graphics are used as much either, and almost no one has used Chaoxys' custom MM style goomba.
