Pretty Good!
Meant to review this earlier. Sorry for the delay.
Review:
I liked the Christmas-Mario cross. Highly original. The game was a little bit repetitive, though.
Graphics:
Your sprites look great, especially since they look like you made them. A+
Style/Gameplay:
As I said before, the game was great in idea, but the levels began to look very dull. Perhaps in a sequel you could change up the levels so that there are different worlds to explore. Perhaps you could also change up the enemies, as well. I have no complaints, however, to what you have already. Everything looks great!
Sound:
The sound effects taken directly from Mario help add to the nice affect this game had. The music was great, too! They helped add even more to the game. Nice choice!
Violence:
Besides the classic jumping on the enemy that is featured in Mario, there's really no violence that I can detect. It is unneeded, however. This game is great without it.
Interactivity:
The controls for this game were extremely simple and easy to understand, making it easy for anyone to pick up the game and learn it quickly. Nice!
Humor:
There wasn't anything particularly funny about the game, besides the fact that Santa was hopping around in snow to get back to his sleigh. Like violence, humor isn't necessarily needed in this game.
Overall:
This game was a great way for me to get into the Christmas spirit! Both the twist between Mario and the holiday season and the wonderful music got me ready to celebrate. In the future, just try to mix things up a little bit in appearance, but this game was great as is. I look forward to seeing more from you in the near future!
