Supah Pario Bros 4+

I’m with everyone else in the general opinion that while the premise of a retro-style mario game set on Guam is awesome, the controls need a lot of work. It’s just too inconsistent to get Pario to either sprint or jump, which makes getting across the gaps or even jumping on top of enemies far too difficult. Heck I couldn’t even finish the 1st level.

There is potential here… it just needs some better control to make it shine.

This is a game that attempts to capture the essence of Super Mario Brothers with a Guam-inspired twist. However, the result is a frustrating experience due to its abysmal controls and numerous bugs.

From the moment you start playing, you'll notice the sluggish and unresponsive controls that make maneuvering through the game feel like a Herculean task. Jumping feels floaty and imprecise, often leading to unnecessary deaths and frustration.

Adding insult to injury are the countless bugs plaguing the game. From characters getting stuck in walls to sudden game crashes, Guam's Adventure is riddled with technical issues that severely hamper the overall experience.

Despite its charming Guam-inspired aesthetic, including vibrant tropical landscapes and quirky island-themed enemies, the game's fundamental flaws make it difficult to enjoy. Even the most die-hard fans of Super Mario Brothers would struggle to find any redeeming qualities in this poorly executed homage.

In conclusion, Pario falls far short of its inspiration, delivering a frustrating and buggy experience that fails to capture the magic of the games it seeks to emulate. Proceed with caution, or better yet, avoid this game altogether.

Lots of potential.. and so fun to see our island and culture represented.

However, as it is now, it’s just too frustrating to keep playing. I’d love to be able to get past the galaide, but the controls don’t work well.
Hopefully, there can be improvements with more precision/responsiveness on the controls. It could be a really fun game.
