Wow wow this hack is beautiful. Though it's a short playthrough one can tell that a lot of work went into each level. The levels are all aesthetically very pleasing. Graphics and music choice together make each level very thematic.
I think this is a good hack for beginners.
If I have to nitpick: some levels I had to memorize, because of blind jumps or very fast moving ghost timings. You use very many unneeded indicator coins, but then they suddenly aren't there when most needed.
Site ate my review but tl;dr I enjoyed it overall, didn't love the music / color palette choices, and my only real issue was that the more secret secret exit could probably have used a checkpoint because it was really annoying to get back there after the half a dozen or so times I got caught off-guard or messed up in there and died.
Difficulty felt pretty reasonable, with the only noticeably harder level IMO being the one accessible through the "secret" secret exit.
Really fun, straightforward kaizo hack. As a heads up to those who may come across this, there ARE actually 16 exits, but the last couple might take a little extra exploring to find on the overworld.
