Super cute concept, these really are TINY creatures! I like that there is invincibility after hitting an enemy, but I feel that the invincibility is far too long, so you can run through multiple enemies and only lose 1 life. I also really like all the different types of enemies and powerups, but I quickly lost track of what all the different things do, so maybe some initial explanation would be helpful. Great job finishing this in half the time as well!

Creative use of the smallest of creatures. Character and tileset designs were fun, controls were functional but a bit janky.

Beat it! I almost gave up on the second level — for some reason, that was the most difficult. After that it was relatively smooth sailing. Very unusual graphics and sound effects — I like it!

Cute game! I really like the music! It was a little hard to control though.

I liked the mario star effect where you just go running through things! Could use a better design to differentiate what harms you or not though.

Nice short Mario game. Maybe I could rename this to Super Diplo Bros :).
If the glitches were fixed, this could be good game.
