All right, after my first full game review, I've decided to go back to Flash games until i can be bothered to do another full game. And since the Escapist is filled with Mario related things, i thought i should do a game called <url=http://www.kongregate.com/games/Radx/enough-plumbers>Enough Plumbers
So here it is
[IMG_inline caption="Yes, I have decided to add pictures now. Doubling my work, I hope your happy." align='centre' src=http://i685.photobucket.com/albums/vv215/dragon_of_red/EnoughPlumbers.jpg]
Enough Plumbers is styled off the Mario games, your out to save your princess, and off to kill some Goomba like things... At least i think there goombas... [IMG_inline caption="Yeah, im not sure what
the hell your trying to be" src=http://i685.photobucket.com/albums/vv215/dragon_of_red/000000001.jpg]
So the story isnt very original, it doesnt even have a story until you get to the final level. It's just a really fun and interesting game to play.
Gameplay: The gameplay here is what makes this fun. You run around, trying to get to the flag located somewhere in the level. Stomping on goombas and trying to dodge obstacles like flames, and pits of death. You can also collect power ups, like being on fire, being a balloon and floating upwards, being an iron one to smash bricks, or a reverse character, were the run the opposite direction to what you press.
They are pretty ordinary power ups, but can still provide a challenge.
But the main selling point that makes this game original, is that every single time you collect a coin, or spawn a clone out from there. Who controls the same as your character. Its a neat trick and is what makes this game so damned fun.<img_inline caption="Can you count the pointless marios?" align=left src=http://i685.photobucket.com/albums/vv215/dragon_of_red/000002.jpg> As you can see from the picture, sometimes there are way too many Marios, and thats not even the most you can get.
Now, im not saying this game is perfect, there are a few minor flaws here and there to ruin it, like the sometimes shoddy collision detection, and the fact that i died about 100 times from thinking "I can easily make that jump" And then missing it by a mile since you dont jump as high as you thought you could.
Music The Music isnt really a normal section I put into these, but dammit, I'm going to out it in! The music in this game is pretty damned good. Its all done in the classic 8-bit style of the old Mario games.
The music in each level is the same, except for the final level. The Menu music is different too though. Its a slightly less upbeat version of the Regular level Music, which is a very happy and upbeat type.
Wrapping Up: There isn't really any thing else i can say about this game, other than it is pretty damn fun. Some levels are quite difficult, and had me stuck for a while, mainly cause i suck.
There are 25 levels, each level being very different from the last one. So it does not get tiresome to play through it all. I actually kept coming back to this game for one reason or another, since it was a fair amount of fun to play.
I will give this a 8/10, and suggest that you play this game, Its fun and some of the levels have a very interesting design.

<spoiler=My Final Thoughts>Ive decided to add a TL;DR version, just to add points if i did not myself clear enough. And ive also tried to add pictures, which i needed to screen shot myself, so its actually some effort into this...
Sorry for it being so short, there really isnt that much to talk about here.
I hope you like it anyways.
So here it is
