Impressions

Gameplay 4 / 10	Well, this game is basically Hello Engine with a level editor that's inspired by Mario Maker. The main gameplay is same with the latest Hello Engine, the only difference is the health meter, just like in HFC and some of his previous fangames. But again, the rest is just typical Hello Engine. And while I don't hate Hello Engine (unlike everyone else), I don't think it's that great. It has some big flaws, like the physics being weird, and some objects (and enemies) behaving very inaccurate. But these issues are not what ruined the game for me. No no no... What ruined this game for me is the editor. In the editor, there are bunch of buttons on top that represents different types of object. You first choose the type, then the object itself, and then you place it. It sounds effective, and simple, but the UI is not that well designed. I cannot explain why, but I keep forgetting which sprite represented which type of the object. And it feels like there's no charm or soul in it, unlike Mario Maker. Speaking of Mario Maker, I can see you took some inspiration from it. But why didn't you add the most important feature of Mario Maker, autotiling? Yes, there's also no autotiling when placing tiles, and this makes it pretty tedious to place tiles. Fun. (Sarcasm.) But I can say 1 nice thing about this game, the website you sent the levels you made is really neat and well made. Good job on that. BTW, there isn't an options menu. You just press keys like Alt + V to turn on or off stuff. Why? Adding an option menu requires basically no effort. I'm not even asking for changable controls or gamepad support (which are really important), I'm just asking for a fricking options menu. I'm sorry but this is just plain laziness.
Graphics 4 / 10	Overused SMA4 graphics, mixed with a few other custom decorations. They are already not that good looking, but that HQ filter makes them look even worse. And unfortunately, you can't add new graphics.
Sound 5 / 10	There's no option for custom music, and the music we have are boring rips from Mario, mixed with some tracks from other games. The sound effects are also okay. Bu why do you still use these annoying voice clips? Everyone told you how annoying they are, and you still keep having it. Just, why? Seriously...
Replay 5 / 10	Well, for now there aren't many user-made levels. But soon there will be a lot more. That would make this game extremely replayable. Riiiiighht? Nope. Nope. Nope. Nope. Since nobody with good level design skills would use Mario Builder, most of the levels we currently have are pretty bad. There are some (by some I mean 1) good ones in the Featured category, but that's not enough. Even if we had a lot of good levels, they would get boring pretty quickly, so yeah.

Final Words

I love making levels using the Mario Builder. No programming needed! It can just be used like an editor to make Mario games effortlessly! Wheee!

We share the exact same feelings on this game, Mors. Also, in regards to Mario's voice clips, overused graphics, and sub-par base engine, it's a Hello game. What did you expect? He ignores everyone's advice, sticks up that middle finger and makes what's already bad even worse. It's just what he does.

Quote (edeN on Jun 8 2016, 9:56 PM) Ugh don't review Hello games if you don't like them. What?! This doesn't make any sense, even slightly. Why am I not allowed review a game I don't like? If nobody reviewed and gave a score to game they didn't like, every game would get high scores. And you know what? That would ruin the whole point of the score system. Quote (edeN on Jun 8 2016, 9:56 PM) You're ruining his overall score. Ruin? My review decreased the overall score juts by 1 point. How is that ruining? And if I actually ruined the score I would be happy, because I think this game is overrated and bad. Quote (edeN on Jun 8 2016, 9:56 PM) Leave it to people that like them -.- You have to know nothing about fangames and game design in general to like this game.
