It has a very simple, but fun premise. I like the idea of having multiple Darios coming at once to add some extra challenge. My highest score was 29.

This was awesome!  Thanks for a good laugh.

This was fun! Turned the tables on old game. I was a little confused about what buttons to hit but some quick experimentation fixed that. Really like how no tutorial was needed and the game lets you pick it up on your own. Good job!

This was a pretty fun 'parody' game!

Simple and well executed with the different patterns by the waves of Darios. While it's safe to stay in the corners, you have to eventually move to get more flowers so the gameplay loop works quite well, it's like waiting to cross the street.

Great game! I like the concept of playing a classic game from another perspective, and it's simple and well executed. Nice work!

Submitted

Great twist!

This is really fun :) Playing from the enemy side is unique XD

Bario really got me

Really cute game, I had never empathized with a goomba before ! I feel the only missing thing here is your score staying on the title screen after you die. But I really like the game nonetheless !

(and just to be sure, is it a goomba named Boomba or a nameless boomba ?)

I loved playing the first draft you posted without sound, love this version even more!

This was super cute. It does exactly what it is supposed to do. I also love that there is one Dario pattern that has him jump against the pipe, which is something that always happens to me in Mario games :D

i will never play mario the same again

Dangit Dario I was just picking flowers!!! Boomba is the most misunderstood character in  all of gaming... so sad...


Really clever twist on the mario lore. i love it!

Wow, i did not expect this game to be as fun as it is. Nice work! It just needed some music to complete the feel.

Amazing!! The game seems so simple, yet moved me so deeply... I'm just a little guy minding my own business, why you gotta stomp on me! Put a big smile on my face, well done buddy!! :D

is so simple yet so nice to play, I do wish there was a reason to pick up the flowers other than the score though

Submitted

This is great!
