Tip: Avoid "item babysitting". Do not force the player to drag P-Switches or springboards all around the level. This is not fun, nor does it make for interesting "puzzles".
This is my first hack. It features 18 difficult levels + a final castle.
There is a fair amount of custom ASM, but the majority of the hack is centered around solid platforming.
This hack wouldn't have been possible without the support of the community. So many people were extremely helpful in helping me figure things out, test, and provide moral support. I am incredibly thankful for that.
I am really excited for people to play this. If you decide to stream it don't hesitate to reach out to me as I'd love to watch.
A quite difficult hack. I appreciated the challenge, as well as the interesting ideas. However, in my opinion this hack is too uncompromising to be fun. It seemed as if every jump required the maximum height and distance possible, and rarely was there an allowance for players to move in their own way. I would add that the section length was highly variable; often I would beat the first section in a matter of minutes and then spend at least twice as long on the second half (for example, the dolphin level into the vertical autoscroller). The Reznor boss was not very fun for me, it felt very repetitive and the spaces you could stand in were very tight, so it mostly just turned into a memory contest.
Overall, this hack is a good challenge, but it feels like it was designed to prioritize tightness and uncompromisingness over fun.
