I’m so happy that I finally decided to play this! It’s always been on my to play list, but the announcement of the release date for GPW3 pushed this to the top of my list!
I’ve always been told this was harder than GPW2, but now after playing both, I feel that each game provides a different type of difficulty.
While GPW2 is full of challenging platforming, GPW is instead filled with precise platforming. Many jumps are made more difficult by requiring the player to avoid kaizo blocks.
The levels feel easier than the levels in GPW2, however each level does have a difficulty spike be it a specific obstacle or section that shows why this is rightfully given Expert difficulty.
I also liked the wide variety of themes within the levels, and the music was great!
I had a lot of fun playing this classic, and recommend it as long as you have a couple other expert hacks completed.
Final Rating = 5/5
For me this hack was definitely worth the time and effort. Next weekend I will attack part 2 with the same enthusiasm. Maybe have 1 or 2 expert hacks under your belt before you attempt this one, and be prepared to devote some time to it (I blocked out an entire weekend). Still, definitely recommend as I had FUN the entire time (Echo Base is hands down the best ice level I've ever played), which is of course what this is all about. 5/5 and already excited for Part 3 👀👀😁
This was my first extremely difficult hack, and I enjoyed it all the way through. There were a few tricks that were insanely hard +
a 5 room castle, and there's no fast retry, but considering when it was made, it held up just fine. The music is fantastic, and overall the hack made me a way better player. I look forward to playing the rest of your hacks Barb, keep up the good work!
Also I hit some Kaizo Blocks which I did not know about them that they also exist too.
I will wait until the new hack also comes out from Barb too.
Keep up the good work.
I've also been catching up with your Twitch streams lately. Seeing you designing another ROM hack makes me so pumped up. So thank you Barb, for making this kaizo magnum opus of yours.
Thanks Barb!

Rude.
Fuck you Barb <3 Thanks for making this frustrating hack.
Seriously though it's been a good heck of a ride, and equally as great watching you make it. I look forward to more potential hacks!
- the projectiles (lotus´s fire and baseballs) don´t spawn correctly, because there are too many onscreen at the same time here.
- Some levels have stacked munchers. Just like this or this for example.
- the palettes are "unusual" sometimes, but they´re still decent enough.
These are only minor complaints though and you don´t have to change them.
Apart from this the hack is quite creative and definitely offers a big challenge for those, who want to play this hack savestateless.
Mod Edit: Only had to change some tags.
Can't wait to be a loser and watch it on his YouTube.
