Pretty fun game! I've always been a fan of powerups you need to re-collect after using, so it was cool to see it being used here. The coin trails were really helpful, and taught me I could wall jump, so there's some good level design here too. Nice job!

Great game!  One of the easier ones to get under the game-control-fingers!  Enjoyed playing this!

this was really well made, there's a lot here and I think the mask idea is pretty cool. The gameplay is really good, the art is nice and the audio is fine. It definitely feels like a older console platformer.

I think the biggest issue is that it's not super spooky, the masks seem to be the only major thing that's spooky. there are a few enemies but even then the game is fun to play so it's not the worst thing in the world. 

Overall a really fun entry, well done

they done turned my boy mario to a robot 😭

btw it wasnt clear that I could climb the pipes to get coins, maybe that's an easter egg?

yup, I added some secrets/easter eggs to reward player exploration :D

This was fun to play. I loved the animation when the robot slid under stuff. I didn't quite get the powerups of the masks, but it was fun to chase the pumpkin head down after I threw it. Really nice job!

It says I can’t escape. D: Had fun playing it, though. Loved the explosion sound the goomba robots make when you stomp them!
