General Commentary and Game Overview
So this is a platforming game starring Luigi, but with a twist: the only "powerups" are Boos. The story is that King Boo has scared his minions off, decided to rule the world, and the Boos want to help Luigi to defeat King Boo. Also, you start off in a snow level, for some reason.
 
Pros +Mostly fitting and nice graphics
+The music is very nice to listen to
+Interesting story
+Good level design
+Creative idea
 
Cons -Some graphics clash
 
Impressions
Gameplay
9 / 10
The gameplay is very smooth and polished. You don't slip everywhere, you don't get a floaty/heavy feel when you jump and fall, and I haven't found any glitches. The variety of Boo powerups is great, with fire, double jump, and hammers, but I hope to see more powers. One thing that kind of annoys me is that the Piranha Plants always spit fire. Other than that, though, there's not much to say, since this is a pretty short demo.
 
Graphics
8 / 10
This game looks beautiful with most of the graphics nicely fit together. I have not seen many games that use Mit's sprites, let alone with Luigi playable. Sadly, one thing End needs to work on is finding graphics that do not clash. Luigi and the NSMB-ish ground fit well together, and the SMB3 Boos sorta fit with those. But the clashing graphics are the Super Mario All-Stars - SMB1 graphics. End should have used a different style, as SMB1 and SMB3 clash already. But overall, the game looked amazing.
 
Sound
10 / 10
The sound - oh, where do I start. This game has fitting sounds that never clash or make me annoyed. Of course, they're mostly just sounds you would hear in a normal Mario game, like the jumping or fireball sounds. I love the music. I think the first music you hear is from Paper Mario: Sticker Star (I'm not sure), which had some great music. The 16-bit Ghost galaxy music from Super Mario Galaxy was a bit unfitting at times, but it's fine, because everything else sounded great. It's more of a 9.5 than a 10, but I rounded up.
 
Replay
6 / 10
Sadly, since this is a demo, there's not much replay to be had. You could try to collect all the L Emblems to get an S Rank at the end, but I already did that. If there were some secrets and more paths to take, I would give replay a higher score.
 
Final Words
8 / 10
This game is enjoyable for a short time if you just want to burn off a couple of minutes. With beautiful graphics and awesome music, this game was very fun. I really want Endgame to continue making this, as it seems well-polished already.

Thank you for the review!

On the subject of replayability: The ranks go all the way up to L, actually - impressive that you obtained an S rank, though.
