This beginner hack really helped me hone some of my skills I think. When I got to the shell level that starts with the double, I initially scoffed and figured I wouldnt be able to do it. But after a bit of messing around, I was finally able to start doing it consistently. Learning to do that double has also made my normal shell jumps incredibly consistent, I very rarely miss them now.
I've been working my way through a bunch of beginner hacks and after completing this I am thinking of taking on some intermediate ones!
Edit: forgot to mention, that disco shell secret level with the shell that bounces along the lava was the only part of the hack I didn't enjoy. It felt like a fluke when I finally got it to cooperate the way I wanted it do. 5/5 though all around
If you're reading this and you haven't played, do it. You are one 5-Star review closer to Orcus.

Very fun level design, occassionally tricky, but always felt fair. Great aesthetics and music. Will definitely be checking out your other work.
Thanks for the great hack!
lots of polish on the level design that feels more fleshed out, and the secrets are cleverly placed.
really enjoy this hack and its an easy recommendation,
looking forward to more from you!
cant wait to play your next one!
This hack is an absolute masterpiece, one of the greatest games, and i mean GAMES of all time to me.
Looking forward to whatever you make next.
One note on this: The secrets upped the difficulty a bit when you find them, so be wary. I do not know if this is intentional, but some of the secret rooms took me a bit longer than I anticipated.
Great hack. High recommend.

Some issues with aesthetics, in particular falling platforms being marked with an arrow just like rising platforms, which made it difficult to distinguish between the two on the fly. I got also pretty fed up at doing the same exact basic shelljump for the 15th time in this hack.
Otherwise, no major complaints, most of the levels have an amazing flow to them.
Great job, Jordan
Good job. Fun game. 5/5
I did discover something while practicing levels that may be noteworthy for Jordan:
