Tip: Remember, if you place a moon, midpoint, or Dragon Coin using direct Map16, it will always respawn when you re-enter that sublevel. Use the extended object instead.
This is a glitch puzzle hack! If you're expecting fun go somewhere else!
This hack is mainly inspired by Super Puzzle World 3, inferi Mario and Kruela Mario 1+2. Instead of being a Kaizo: hard glitch puzzle hack, MINERVA brings this genre into the kaizo: Light scene.
> The levels are relatively short (usually 3-6 screens)
> Neither frame-prefect nor overly complicated glitches are required
> You can preview the level by entering a door at the start
The required glitches can be found either in this thread or you can watch the intended strats in this playthrough.
THIS HACK IS NOT FINISHED YET!
This is a demo and the final version is probably going to feature 3 or 4 worlds. Main intention of releasing this demo is watching people playing it and evaluate if puzzles can be harder or should be easier.
I agree that the levels in this demo are very rta-friendly. And I appreciate your attempt to make a glitch puzzle hack in this style.
If you know what glitches are required, it's not too hard to solve the puzzles/to execute. I enjoyed the levels and imho it isn't too difficult to figure out what to do (esp if you use the glitch list). Additionally, the level preview helped a lot on the way through the levels.
To me, due to the number of required steps the difficulty ramps up in the last level and it took a bit longer both to solve the puzzle and to execute the solution. This level also shows, that the level length/number of steps is, aside from things like frame-perfect glitches, a huge factor in balancing the levels and making them rta-friendly. However, considering your description, you're already well aware of this.
Having tested a previous version, I'll have to say this new version is way better. The puzzles, in typical glitch-puzzle fashion, involve some nontrivial glitches. However, contrary to the typical glitch-puzzle design, the levels are fairly short to balance this and as a result, this hack is quite rta-friendly. If you have figured out a solution, executing it shouldn't be a major hurdle. I'm looking forward to the final version of this.
