I will admit that this is a game that I couldn’t finish, I’ll elaborate why in a moment. Even so, I wasted no time in giving this game a 1-Star Review. Let’s start with the obvious; this game is a Super Mario clone. The gameplay, assets, enemies, mechanics, all of them are the same. Rip-offs are nothing new in LepsWorld Store market, but there is nothing new about this game other than different sprites and palettes. Even then, you might as well make a ROM hack.
However, the game doesn’t hold up as it’s own identity either. Trying to control Lep, the main character, is a nightmare due to how floaty he is. Not to mention, trying to double jump is easier said than done. There’s no point in it anyway. The sound effects are what caused me to quit. Seriously, the coin pick-up sound hurts my ears with how high-pitched it is. Sure, the game audio can be turned off, but that shouldn’t be necessary because of bad audio design! Playing the game with nothing but annoying sound effect and awful MIDIs were enough to make me quit. While I am curious on what Lep’s World Z would look like, I’m staying away from the franchise thanks to this one. The only positive I can give is that the game doesn’t shove purchases down the player’s throat. That’s about it.
Rating: 1/10, don’t bother playing it.
