| Pros | + Solid level design + Loadsa characters + Great spritework |
| Cons | - Some levels have slightly annoying segments - You can get softlocked fairly easily |
Gameplay 9 / 10 |
MPO is a fairly standard platformer. There are a few gimmicks here and there, but for the most part, you jump on platforms and your enemies' heads. The different characters have different abilities, which adds a little replay value, but I doubt you'll be playing through the game with every character any time soon. The level design is mostly pretty good. There are a few spots here and there which require really careful jumps (unless you're playing as a character who can just kind of skip them), and some gimmicks (like the insta-kill Pac-Men (though they ARE funny)) are a bit annoying, but I wouldn't say any level made me outright annoyed. The level where you go through the various fan games did almost bring a tear to me eye, though. What DID make me annoyed, though, was the only real bug I found. If you talk to a character while having enough horizontal speed to slide past them, you end up softlocking the game because you have to be overlapping with a character in order to stop talking to them. Other than that, it's more fun than a cuppa in the desert. Or something. |

Sound 8 / 10 |
There aren't necessarily any "bangers" on the soundtrack, but most tracks fit the levels they're in well and/or are funny. |

Don't let the game's "Scrapped" status fool you; this game feels more complete and has more content than a lot of finished fan games (and you get a free carton of room temperature milk to boot). |
