General Commentary and Game Overview
This is basically a simple platformer starting Mario's "anti-self," Wario.
 
Pros [+] The fact that it stars Wario
[+] Choice of music tracks used was okay
 
Cons [-] The story was a tad unoriginal
[-] Controls are horrible
[-] Glitchy
[-] Entire demo was poorly hand-drawn
[-] Spelling errors
[-] Is there a way to skip the cutscenes?
 
Impressions
Gameplay
1 / 10
The controls were flat out horrible. I was okay using the Arrow Keys to move, but why wasn't the Up-Key used to jump? In the Wario Land platformers, you wouldn't need to press a button to un-crouch. In fact, I often got confused between the jump-key and the Up-key. I also found myself accidentally hurting myself when not dashing with the S-key. I later figured out that you need to stay still in order to use it. Besides the horrible controls, the game was glitchy as well. By glitchy, I mean coins getting stuck on the wall, and bypassing the stone wall as Spring Wario.
 
Graphics
2 / 10
Well...what can I say about the "graphics?" Even though the idea of hand-drawing the entire game was good, the result from it was well...ugly. I know you were trying to stick to the "Wario Land: Shake It!" style, but next time, try to improve your drawing or use videogame sprites.
 
Sound
5 / 10
There's really nothing much to say about the Sound. The music choices were okay, but Wario's voice can get really annoying and repetitive. (Try tapping the S-key while walking)
 
Replay
2 / 10
The only thing you can actually do in this demo is Paint, and play the first levels of this game. There's really nothing much to do in this game, but since this is only a demo, I expect more in its final form.
 
Final Words
2 / 10
This demo was okay...before actually starting it in the first place. btw, my real final score would be a 2.5/10.

I dislike it when reviewers decide to attack a game because "god why is Up jump" or "geez why isn't Up jump?!"

Especially when you can change the controls yourself by going to File - Players.

Because up = look up. It's like having "b" crouch!
