There is way too much going on at once in this game, right from level one. The controls are way too complicated, it's just too flashy. And by the way the music is really busy as well.
Graphics - Pretty good, nice colors and overall clear and flashy. A little girly, but that's what you were going for. 8/10
Style - Too much style. Rather annoying actually. The game starts out very busy, not a good first level. And some of the enemies are hard and/or impossible to defeat. I lost interest very quickly. The story at the beginning is pretty corny as well. 2/10
Sound - I didn't like the music at all. That's just my opinion. 3/10
Violence - Not much at all. Could've used some blood. 1/10
Interactivity - The worst rated catagory of all. The controls were very confusing, the setup was poorly placed. It could've been better if the controls were easier to grasp. 1/10
Humor - Not funny at all, pretty annoying actually. 0/10
Overall - Needs some work. Not with graphics, but with storyline and controls. Difficulty is too high with a low interest level. Sorry but this game is worse than Yoshi Story.
2/10

I would guess that you played the game expecting a grab'n'go one, but it's made so that if ya try that you're gonna get spanked. If you (or anyone reading this for that matter) don't want to spend a moment or two learning the in's and out's of the character you picked it's safe to say the game won't be to much fun because dealing with enemies that guard or take a certain approach to beat will = more of said spanking.
Don't know how to work blood into it since they're all robots and it's meant to be a happy-ish mood game.
If you don't like the control setup, then ya can change it >_>
Story is meant to be corny, it's just a goofy lil sidestory for the comic it's based on. If ya haven't read the comic then the story won't make much sense.
Most things are fair enough though, always personal preference on what makes a good game.

I can only rate this game "halfway" (out of 5) because of the length. One minute is not long enough to make it that fun, so I cut the points in half. If it had levels and more things to do, I may give it an 8 overall, but since it's so short and basic it deserves a 4.
It was fun for, well lets see, a minute. Then it's over. I know it's the first of the series, so in the future make the games a lot more diverse. Good effort though, for a really short game it's pretty good. Graphics were good and gameplay in general is pretty good, but you really need to expand, maybe have more of a storyline than Mr. Spider.
Please expand on this idea, you've got a start.

This is not multiplayer, people are not playing against eachother simultaneously, it's basically just a high score board like many games have. I was very disapointed by basically everything this game had to offer. Please someone take this off of multiplayer, it's not even close. Honestly this game really sucked balls, everything about it was not fun, and it was pretty hard to play.
I lost interest very quickly as I knew i could not beat 7,350,600 feet, or even come close. Damn hackers. That would take along time to do. I would rather play kick my friend in the balls then this garbage.

Graphics - Backgrounds are really good, the characters need some work. It's a little glitchy and fuzzy at times. 6/10
Style - You seemed to have missed one of Yoshi's greatest weapons, his tongue. That has always been his primary weapon and you didn't incorporate that into the game. Dissapointing. Everything about the egg throwing game really sucked, you made it too hard to win that part, and it was pretty much at the beginning. This game needs a lot of work. 4/10
Sound - Good use of Yoshi songs, the sound when you pick up eggs was a little too loud. 9/10
Violence - Not really any violence, besides jumping on shyguys and throwing eggs. 1/10
Interactivity - Lacking this in the egg throwing part. It didn't make any sense. The shyguys walked too quickly and Yoshi's aim was horrible. The rest of the game was ok, but that one part really made me lose interest all together. 3/10
Humor - Not very funny, except seeing Mario in his tighty whities.
Overall - Creative representations of the characters, no sprites used. Overall an ok game up until the egg throwing, that ruined the whole game for me. If you made that part a little easier and expanded on this game it would be a lot better.
5/10 --- 3/5

If only Mario would've thought to actually SELL the koopa shells, he could've bought a train ticket to Bowsers Castle instead of walking there. Oh well, I'm sure he's kicking himself in the ass now. Seriously though, this was a good game. The concept is cool, I didn't like it when you have to start all over again when you die. That part made it difficult, and the first level was pretty hard for the first level, but that isn't really a bad thing.
When I played it yesterday it worked just fine, now today it's kind of choppy. I'll try again later, I have to beat it.
It is pretty addicting, please finish the sequel soon, make it a priority. Also it would be cool if you could throw the shells as well, then jump on them again to stop them.
Good game though, 5/5.

This game kicks ass, my only complaint is it is a little easy, but it is fun and it kept my attention, which is important. Great concept, I like the power up system you have here, it makes the game very interesting, especially the world defensive structures. You have a great game here, I enjoyed it!
5/5

The screen size is the main problem I have with this game. It's hard to find enemies and kill them with such a small screen. I know that isn't your fault, but because of that I lost interest very quickly. It all moves really fast. It was a pretty good game, I liked the old school shooter mixed with the multiplayer concept, but it wasn't that much fun because of the screen size.
Author's Response:
That's the point of the radar though?
When there's nothing on the screen, you pretty much fly using the radar entirely. I think maybe it's an issue for people with dark screens or something, because most people seem to have gotten to grips with it fine =/

This game was pointless. As with many games in the portal (kill as many "whatever" in a given amount of time) it was quite boring. No real objective t it.
This should not be front page matieral. I've played many games that are much better than this that weren't on the front page. Why birds? I guess it was a different concept, but pretty dumb if you ask me. I lost interest very quickly, don't quit your day job.

2002 was a great year. Junior year for me, I remember playing this game back then, I just came upon today, so I'll review what I wanted to 5 years ago. Great fucking game, simple, but good shit. This is the stuf Newgrounds was built off of, thanks for the reminder!

Man, I read some of the bad reviews (very few), those people suck. This game is not impossible, it's the shit! The fact that you used a point system instead of the traditional stroke system makes it even better. You can still get point even though you're at a +30 bogey. It's great!
People with a short attention span would hate this game, and stupid people would call it impossible since they don't get the whole "gravity" thing, you really need to make a sequel!
Yes it takes a little practice and good luck, but overall I really enjoyed playing it. I came out with 27,405,200 points, don't know if that's good. The only complaint I would have is the screen size, but that's not your fault. It would be cool to play a game like this on a really big screen with bigger courses.
I found this game easy enough to be fun, but hard enough to keep interest levels high.
Great work, and please make a sequel!
