Very cool! The platforming was solid, and easy to control even on a keyboard! (On a 360 controller, the movement is mapped to the triggers, though) I really liked the mood; the music and block silhouettes made the game a bit feel creepy, but the atmosphere really piqued my curiosity!
Nice game, its really atmospheric and dark. You've got a really solid platforming engine here, and the level design was fun to play, being challenging, but not too difficult.
This is amazing. Best LD game I've played/rated as of yet. In many ways this is a perfect platform game without any flaws. The save points were just right, not too easy, not too hard. Progressing by collecting skills is a great tutorial. Level design really gave me the feeling of wonder and exploration, music was suitably creepy. Love that you used the Mario level but made it black, felt like I was trapped in some kind of evil alternate Mario universe. When I dropped down I thought "oh it's just repeating the same level" but then I realised the spikes were there. When the game ended I was disappointed... I wanted more!
Overall, fantastic entry, and was really amazed as it felt like you had a large team of playtesters working for months to get the gameplay this tight. Good job!
really great mood, music and graphics fits really well together, I am really shitty at sadistic platformers though, :(

7:2 38 deaths, 4 rubes, 32 coins, 1 key. The game was a little bit creepy for my taste but even like this it kept me playing till the end so awesome game indeed
Great game. Graphics are simple, but they works really good with your game. Music is simply awesome. It keeps me all time at tensio, and the idea about get the abilities one by one works fine when you advance with the game. Great game
I will have to say that of the ~40 LD games I've rated so far, this one is going to get the highest rating. Such a great mariotroid-vania! I loved unlocking the helmet and double jump. I expected more back-tracking, but enjoyed all the spikes anyway. 48 coins 4 rubies.
I didn't think at first I was going to playing it for so long, usually I dislike going back and forth. But your replay mechanic (a la super meat boy, as others say) keep me playing. Good job.
7:40, 19 deaths, 4 rubies, 331 coins, and 3 keys :D Great game, although I too almost stopped at the flag before realizing I had to drop down the hole to keep playing. The gameplay is solid and the atmosphere is sufficiently somber.

Pros:
- I liked the green/black color scheme for the environment
- The audio was great, and helped the mood.
- I liked the expansion of the level.
Cons:
- The controls were a little awkward
- The main character had too much color (when compared to the rest of the game)

The graphics reminds me of "One and One Story".
Inusual way to use the theme btw ahah.
