Reviews for "Ario Old"

Funny concept :D And I really like how the start of the game is done!
Haha, you can actually go to the next level backwards (when you move to the new level in the level selection screen, you can turn around and drive backwards, it's pretty funny)

For 12 hour's work, this is goddamn fantastic.
However, this review is toward the game as a whole. Short, with a good style to match the intended aging process. But, if there's two things that absolutely pissed me off about this game. It would be 1) the music was a short track that played over and over and over and over and god-awfully-over again. It took me all of a couple minutes to get dog-tired and nearly give up on the game completely.
2) The boss fight was despicable. I'll say the music was actually worse at this point than any other, and leave it at that. Gameplay during this segment is arguable, and that's one argument I won't step in.

Great game! What Kratai meant though a few comments before me was, if you made the game rated M, then when you played the game the title would look like it said "Mario" With the M for Mature in front of Ario. That's what he meant, he didn't mean he thought the game should be bloodier.

Original is way better

Buggy, unresponsive, and slow. That's the original version... this one wouldn't even play following a glitch where I decided to check the control scheme from the main menu. Now I understand you post the controls in the description but that's really an after thought considering that this one thing made it unplayable. Now as an overall concept... not bad I guess. it is an interesting take but I've played some really great sprite based games here on Newgrounds and this just wasn't one. As far as licensing is concerned you should have been able to stick with the original version warranting you weren't trying to make any money off it.

Now I know this sounds like a lot of negativity, which to an extent it is, but I say continue on and refine this. hell, check out Super Mario Crossover. It's simple fun and effective. Just don't rip them off too.
