Reception

[edit | edit source]

Secret Maryo Chronicles was listed as the number one open source video game by APC in January 2008.[1] The game was named one of the most promising open source games of 2008 by El Heraldo.[8] In 2008, Stern praised the speed of the game and its puzzle solving,[9] and heute praised it as a well-made nonviolent game for children.[10] Secret Maryo Chronicles was selected in March 2009 as "HotPick" by Linux Format.[11] An in-detail review of the Free Software Magazine in 2015 called the game a "great way to procrastinate".[12]

The game became a popular title offered by many freeware download outlets; the game was downloaded over 3.4 million times just via SourceForge.net between 2004 and May 2017.[13]
