General Commentary and Game Overview
The Flooded Tower is a really well polished minigame with great graphics, 3 difficulty to choose from and a simple highscore on every difficulty.
 
Pros - Good graphics
- Levels of difficulty
- Different level designs
- Decent graphics
 
Cons - Engine is a bit slippery
- Too short
- Shift key is not an ideal option for the jump key (sticky keys)
 
Impressions
Gameplay
8 / 10
Gameplay is simple, you guide a Goomba through a vertical level with rising lava to a time switch (the end of the level).

I have no complaint with level design beside the game itself is a bit easy.

Game engine itself is polished, but the character seems to be slippery. In some cases the top hit marker may detect (making a bump sound) walls even though there's no blocks/ceiling around. I wouldn't recommend Shift key as a jumping because of Windows sticky keys. Something like Z or X can be a better ideal jump key.
 
Graphics
10 / 10
All of the game's graphics are fitting and well made. It's one of those few fangames I've played that use completely original graphics.
 
Sound
8 / 10
In game audio is well polished. Most of the audio are from NSMBWii while the title music is from ML Dream Team.

However there's one minor complaint: I am not a big fan of music fades out and play again. Try to loop it seamlessly.
 
Replay
7 / 10
The game is fun, but it's too short. At lease Q-Nova included difficulty (that also has a set of highscore depends on the difficulty) so it definitely brings up the replay value. Since it's a minigame I wouldn't go too harsh on the replay value.
 
Final Words
8 / 10
It is a well polished minigame with a great custom graphics.
