General Commentary and Game Overview
Wonderful concept that needs much more polish and content to support it's vision.

Would be nice to see even more secret bosses and secret content to further it's replay value since it lacks that special quality of original level design.

Enemy roster also needs to be diversified.
 
Pros Decent pacing and level design.
Simple yet satisfying boss fights.
Collectibles and secrets to uncover.
Metroid-style suit upgrades.
'Blooptroids' are quite challenging.
 
Cons Could use more levels and open paths.
Boss fights need more content.
No side-quests or deep character stories.
Need more weapon variety.
'Blooptroids' feel overused.
 
Impressions
Gameplay
7 / 10
Button mash and jump against the foes and bosses while dodging strings of fire and 'blooptroids' during the search for collectibles that leads to a difficult yet satisfying game.
 
Graphics
7 / 10
Mostly 'Yoshi's Island' used for anything not 'Metroid' related and it works well. Could have used a hybrid custom style that would have scored higher in order to mix a very interesting concept together.
 
Sound
7 / 10
Decent choices that draw user deeper into the immersion of a metroid-feel. Would be interesting if custom tracks were developed for fan-games like this.
 
Replay
7 / 10
Collectibles, secrets, and speed-runs means the only thing that may irk gamers is the steep difficulty, learning curve, and the need for more content.
 
Final Words
7 / 10
Metroid game with some Mario bosses plus decent level-rooms equals a difficult and fun experience.
