General Commentary and Game Overview
This game doesn't have a review. Let me fix that!
 
Pros -A very authentic G&W remake
 
Cons -That all it is
 
Impressions
Gameplay
6 / 10
Tools are falling from the sky, because reasons. Play as Mario to dodge the falling tools and make it to the office building, because reasons. The door to the office is only open sometimes, because reasons. Once Mario enters the office he loops back around to where he first was, again because reasons. Each time a tool hits the ground or you make it to the office, you score points. Entering the office gives you more points, providing a bit of risk reward. Mario start from the far left of the screen, being completely safe from the toolageddon. He steps out on his own eventually, because reasons. Maybe he secretly likes getting hit in the head? speaking of getting hit: when a tool hits you for the third time, it's game over. Due to how the game is presented, it's often difficult to tell when exactly a tool is going to hit you. This is particularly problematic when tools are falling close together and you have to make precise maneuvers around them. There are two game modes, but they don't differ noticeably.
 
Graphics
9 / 10
As far as I can the tell, the graphics are a perfect re-creation of the original down to the 'light sockets' (?), that were there due to technical limitations. The screen size is a bit too small for a 1080p monitor (imagine 1440p or 4k users) and there's no way to enlarge it. No full screen mode either from what I've noticed.
 
Sound
7 / 10
There are only two sound effects. One for entering the office, and one for failing. There could've been one for Mario's movement and for tools hitting the ground. Not a big deal though.
 
Replay
6 / 10
I played the game first time when it was in the queue, and played it again shortly before this review.
 
Final Words
6 / 10
One of the most authentic G&W games on the site.
