I liked it, but it wasn't really that great.
As far as Mario Parodies go, this really isn't bad. The problem is that you do have a professional studio backing you on this one, so in that regard, maybe it is.
As a fan of both NG and LICD, I'd like to use this as an opportunity to say that I appreciate the hard, selfless work of those who dedicate their time to bring quality flash media to the community. So thanks for the effort, but in respect to being constructive, I enjoy LICD because it is a creative, hilarious ongoing work of art. I enjoy Mario because it is essentially a timeless classic. When you put them together, it makes someting I am not so sure I fully enjoy.
The quality of the work produced is better than mediocre, but not as great as I would have hoped for. If you're sticking to it, revamp the sound and fluidity of the game.
I respect that you are trying to expand your horizons, and that this could be a potential avenue, but as some other revewiers have mentioned, this is a game I'd play to the end once and probably not go back to it.
(Ps. I still enjoy your work, and started reading LICD from beginning to about the start of LFG in a night. Have another Red Bull and use that freakishly creative mind of yours to come up with something great. Maybe a day in the life of Rayne. Frog King in: hunt of the Vagoo.. you know?)
