General Commentary and Game Overview
Bullet Bill Attack is a mini-game all about dodging projectiles, which is not necesarly a bad thing but this game has some problems that make it unpleasant to play.
 
Pros .Custom graphics
.No glitches whatsoever
 
Cons .Simplistic gameplay
.Becomes too difficult after a while
.Physics is not very good
 
Impressions
Gameplay
4 / 10
The gameplay is fairly simple to understand, you control Mario, who has to dodge three rows of randomly generated Bullet Bills within 100 ... unknown time units, well these are longer than seconds.

You can't go too far to the left or to the right or else you'll lose.
At first the game seems pretty easy but after 50 time units the Bullet Bills are faster and the game gets harder until it becomes impossible to complete (I have to admit I didn't manage to actually win at the game), I tried to finish the game several times but I keep losing after 60 times units.

The game is also hard because you can't control how high Mario jumps, like in any Mario platformer game, so you have to be careful not to touch the upper Bullet Bills row, and also anticipate the landing.

That's about it, but I don't know what's supposed to happen when the timer gets to 00 time units so I can't say much more..

otherwise while the gameplay is surely not perfect, at least there's an actual goal so this game can't be compared to a game like Mario Tails where you just have to play until you die, so that's a good thing.
 
Graphics
8 / 10
It's all 8-bit custom graphics, and I like this even though it's perfectible, the only bad point would be the font, it clashes with all the rest.
 
Sound
3 / 10
Super Mario Brothers' sound effects and some kind of GXSCC average music, nothing special to say about it.
 
Replay
3 / 10
You have to play it a lot of times to manage to survive until the timer runs out!
But personally I stopped trying after a while...
 
Final Words
4 / 10
It's a very simplistic mini-game (similar to Billistics in MP9), it could have been better.
