General Commentary and Game Overview

One of my friends recommended this game to me on a whim, and I actually uploaded the stream footage to youtube. While Waluigi Land is a very buggy platformer, it does have a charm to it. Some might claim my appreciation is ironic, and maybe that's the case. But I did legitimately enjoy this game at times.

Pros	+The game stars Waluigi. +Waluigi is very vocal about his jumps. +You can hold down the ground pound to sit down. +The hammer is a fun mechanic to play around with. +The game has interesting variety.
Cons	-Ridiculously high difficulty. -There's a lot of trial and error. -It's very easy to miss the gun power ups. -New abilities are not very well conveyed, could have used helpful text boxes. -The hit boxes don't work all the time. -You can slide through walls by accident. -Too many weird blob guys from Yoshi's Island. -Hidden question blocks.

Impressions

Gameplay 6 / 10	When the game works, the gameplay can be pretty fun. Waluigi is always facing new challenges and finding new powers. The game has a decent difficulty curve, though I do feel like it gets ramped up way too high at times. I found it difficult to understand new mechanics. This game could have used hint boxes in the levels.
Graphics 5 / 10	There's not too much to say since the graphics are all taken from other games like Yoshi's Island.
Sound 6 / 10	The music is alright. Waluigi's voice is perfect, and the sound effects are all good choices.
Replay 6 / 10	It's easy to replay due to how you can skip every level. I do feel like the early levels are too dull and the later ones are too extreme though. There are achievements, but they are not well conveyed enough for me to hunt them down.

Final Words

Waluigi Land feels like a buggy mess, but I had a good time with it.
