General Commentary and Game Overview
When the Bootlegs (in which, I don't know who the heck they are) invaded Sarasland , they kidnapped Mario Daisy, and it's up to Luigi to save them. Inspired from Gradius (which is a game I don't know), Luigi can buy upgrades and try to down the Bootlegs.
 
Pros +GBC-look
+Good difficulty curve
+Upgrades system
+Nice music
 
Cons -Only one level
 
Impressions
Gameplay
10 / 10
You help Luigi in his plane, which can shoot bullets and buy upgrades by paying fire flowers. The upgrades are nice, and all of them are useful (maybe expect for Speed Up, but it's not totally useless).

The game scrolls from left to right, and it works perfectly! You can even collect coins which adds into you score. If you find it too easy or too hard, then you change into one of the four difficulty levels, which is great for any type of gamer.
 
Graphics
10 / 10
As the game is supposed to be like a Game Boy game being played with a Game Boy Color, it looks very good! None of them clash and they don't hurt the eyes.

Some sprites even flicker in order to power-up the GBC feel, and you can turn it off, if it hurts your eyes or something. However, one problem that I found about the graphics, is that the screen is a little small, but that's just a minor one.
 
Sound
10 / 10
The music is great and fantastic! As you further progress on, the music changes so it won't get repetitive. The music has no problem with me!

Sound effects are good, and fitting! None of them ever feel missing, and they don't sound too loud or too quiet.
 
Replay
8 / 10
Unlike the gameplay, graphics, and sound, there is a minor lack of replay value. Since there is only one level, but at least you can try to beat your high score. But how about you try to beat all four difficultly levels? That should spend a little amount of time.
 
Final Words
9 / 10
If you always loved Game Boy games, you'll have no problem with this one then.

Thank you for the review.

Speed Up is useful as long as you can still control yourself. Greater speed makes it easier to dodge and collect coins that are out of the way, but too much speed can cause you to overshoot evasive maneuvers and die horribly.
