Mariovs.
The short-but-sweet puzzler has a simple premise.
God forbid a gorilla have hobbies, I suppose.
The lil fellas also make really cute noises, which adds to their charm.
These regular puzzles are broken up into a handful of slightly different levels.
Most of my first five hours with the game felt like a drag.
I noticed this was particularly prevalent with the explosive Bob-ombs.
However, it feels that poor execution in this area bloats out the whole experience with annoyance.
If youre able to push through these grievances, however, theres still plenty to enjoy.
Casual mode also turns off the time limit for each level entirely.
Doing so will earn you a shiny medal on the levels icon on the menu.
All in all,Mario vs. Donkey Kongis a mixed bag.
