    It's a great idea and very well executed, but keyboard and mouse for Mario just feels wrong. I had more fun with Super Mario Crossover.

    Yeah the keyboard controls just feel weird, but the concept is awesome. Playing the Portal map theme... man I wish games were like that. I threw on the black and white filter for nostalgia as well, it's just amazing.

    I haven't downloaded it. It's not possible to use my gaming controller to play it? D8

    You could use Joy2Key to set up a profile, but the portals kinda need the mouse and controlling a mouse with an analogue stick is... tricky.

    Tried it out. The controls are super awkward since space is jump everything else follows a WASD configuration. It's interesting but I much prefer Portal: The Flash Version. Playing Mario on a keyboard is weird enough. Adding the portal mechanics to it seems like it's going to be fun, but complicates a nice, simple game and makes it harder. Crossover was interesting because I got to tear shit up with Samus and Link, but it defeated the whole point of Mario.
