You completely failed to understand the concept of game design. A good game should have creativity. Failing that, it should have quality. And if it possesses neither one of those, then it should at least be humble. You failed miserably on all counts. This is nothing, NOTHING, like Mario, and, with such shoddy controls and brainless level design, I would even hesitate to call it a platformer. Never have I seen such a disgusting affront to the art of games. Even maze games display a willingness to learn. You unabashedly botched a game, even with a game creator. If you were at all considering a career in game design, or had even thought of ever presuming to buy a video-game ever again, I beg you, stop. Now.
Artistically, this is beautiful, but, taken as a "game", it's crap. This should be a flash movie. I'm totally serious. This has the potential to be an amazing flash movie, but as a game, it's just too linear. There was a total of, what, two contrived puzzles? And they were both easy? Also, the poetry didn't rhyme as well as it should have. Make this a beautiful movie, the medium it was meant to be.
