Super Mayor is a fun and wholesome platformer with quirky pixel art and engaging gameplay that includes educational elements about local councils.
The game is completely free, demonstrating the developers' confidence in their work and providing a lighthearted experience that can be enjoyed in a single session.
It features charming humor, enjoyable mechanics, and a satisfying exploration aspect, making it a delightful casual game.

The pixel art graphics are considered lazy and unappealing, which detracts from the overall experience for many players.
Despite being free, the game has struggled to attract a significant player base, peaking at only a few concurrent players on Steam.
Some gameplay mechanics, such as imprecise movement and frustrating challenges, can lead to a less enjoyable experience for players aiming for 100% completion.
