Great Game, Hard Time
Such a good game, but difficult because of the controls
Beautiful graphics, all hand-made instead of using sprites, original story, good BGM, but a mute button is required, because sometimes it get annoying (specially when you are stuck in a level, it can make you nuts)
Good secrets (I found the first one, still playing), good effects (I love the bloody stuff XD), but sometimes the way koopa interactues with enemies is weird.
Such a great game, only if it had smoother controls it would be perfect, besides, a special Ed. with some extras wouldn't be a bad thing :D with some cheats and maybe some sketches of your work
BTW, a hint: After you passed first stage, remember that you can enter again, use it for getting easy shells and coins, colecting the bowser coin at the start of the level (and the red flower) and leaving the level, it's a good thing, you can repeat this until you get as many lives as you want. Yes, takes time, but this hard game worths it (also remember save button)
