| Description: | You play as Bob Ross on his way to beat the devil. Levels were inspired by paintings shown on Bobs series The Joy of Painting. 54 exits (18 exits X 3 modes) First of all, if you think this game is trash, this update will not change your mind. However, if you liked it or thought it had potential, this update might surprise you. So, i was a bit reluctant about making this update, because the game is kinda old and all.. but i guess theres no shame about trying to make something better. This is intended to be its last update. Whats different about this update: - added music - added coin indicators - improved consistency - ===tried=== to reduce jankiness - reduced inactivity time - made the advanced mode a bit less tight (still tight tho) - 1 new level (3 modes) - several minor and major changes to all the levels of every mode - p-switch indicator so it doesnt mess with the music - removed death counter (problems with related patch.. and to improve compatibility) - changed difficulty modes from Baby/Light/Hard to Beginner/Moderate/Advanced (apparently some people find "baby" offensive..) important to know: - Most of the vertical pipes are easier to enter than the vanilla pipes - Rng resets every time you enter a room (or death) - removed rng timer from Reznors fireballs (now they spit consistenly, for a more predictable fight) - Minor adjutment to cape physics (you cant slow down too much to the point where you cannot rebound.. much easier to control) All modes can be beaten RTA. My RTA playthrough can be watched on the links below. Notice this is not a speedrun.. Videos were recorded during the playtesting process during several different days.

If you are easily offended by this kind of stuff, please, avoid playing this game. |

did you write some of this music? is there a track listing somewhere? I would love to be able to download/listen to this soundtrack.
I also like how it takes some kaizo tropes
5/5 (on beginner at least, maybe some day I'll be good enough to try moderate)
Aesthetics were easily the best of any hack I have ever played and overall the atmosphere of a bob ross painting in a kaizo setting is very nice because typically it is a faster paced more hectic setting.
I do truly hope you continue making kaizo hacks in your free time because some people do truly appreciate your hard work, me being one of them
5/5
and it goes without saying that the aesthetic gimmick of each episode being based on a Bob Ross painting/episode is a delight.
i haven't played the original version, but good on you for the update - this'll be a mainstay for me for years to come!
Highly recommended to everyone! <3
The 'old' version was so great.
Great hack, maybe better now...

first of all great hack
I have a question. Has anyone tested this with a flashcard on real hardware? Can you save the game there? I'm asking because im trying to play this on my superNT unfortunately saving the game does not work there. Workes fine on emulator though. So would be great if we could find out if this is problem exists on a real snes or if its a problem with the superNT firmware.
Also @bananatheswitch there's no shell jump at the start...
Ive just tested it here, and yes, this is happening.. Im not sure why this happens or how to fix it. But ill see if i can do something about it. Luckily this problem apparently does not interfere with the gameplay in any way.
i played the hack on the LIGHT difficulty and it is a decent challenge. nothing too brutal nothing easy.
i think some parts are a bit "meh" because they dont tell you for example if you have to jump or spinjump blindly. this is a wild guess and usually leads to a death. some indicator would have been nice but i guess it is kaizo after all.
the levels itself are nothing special. stuff that has been seen by now, yet still a fun experience to play.
im gonna be totally honest i thought about it for ~ 10minutes and could not decide if i give this hack 4* or 5* so... i flipped a coin.
and the result is 5*.
ps: i played the first 2 levels on the baby difficulty and didnt really notice any major changes so im not sure how much the difficulty adds. but hey you have the option another bonus.
i can only recommend this hack, even if you never saw anything from bob ross. just for the backgrounds and the afro alone <3
- You could fix the scrolling-settings in this room
- I assume the level name here is written incorrectly because there were no characters left?
- There were several typos. But since they have no influence on the gameplay and everything is still understandable i won´t list them here.
Approved the Update.
Also I just noticed that it's literally three hacks at once. The fact that you did all the art yourself is really impressive, too.
