| Description: | Aeron's Golden Cookie Quest is an old-school styled hack, that has inpiration in various videogames, including Kirby, Mega Man, Castlevania, Ganbare Goemon, Shinobi, Mario and others. Instead of inspiring myself in any hack creator, I wanted to make this project as a love letter for videogames and I plan to achieve that with this hack. It's a weird hybrid of traditional and chocolate. While this hack has a lot of ASM, its level design is more focused all in tackling obstacles than innovative level design. I'm not trying to reinvent the wheel or anything, just to be clear, so don't go with the wrong expectations, when playing this hack. Much like an old game, it has some bullshit moments, but a lot of good and rewarding gameplay. This hack has lore, but it's not too wordy or too wacky. It's very easy to understand. You only watch the cutscenes once and go back to the action even if you die once, due to my clever vanilla checkpoints placement. Slightly inspired by The Second Reality Project 2 Reloaded and Luigi's Misadventures. What this hack contains: - A custom player sprite, drawn by Deeke. - Various patches aimed for quality of life experience, to make the platforming even more fun; - 10 tough levels; - Save areas, this game doesn't save automatically; - Neat selection of custom musics; - Tough platforming; - A few "gotcha" moments, inspired by SMW: Gaiden; - Simple and challenging bosses; - Bumpties (Segment1Zone2 angry noises); - Hot Dino Rhinos; - Cutscenes; - NPCs; - A slightly suggestive final boss; -- x -- CHANGELOG and KNOWN BUGS: check the txt contained with the zip file to know more about. |

Thanks so much.
UPDATE: As turns out, I had to fix a few more things, oops! Please download the current version. Thanks.
By the way what game exactly is the Ghost Lady from or is she a made up character because I really liked facing off against her.
I love the presentation of the hack, graphics and music are just wonderful throughout. It's great how every level has a unique theme, and everything revolves around it including enemy graphics.
Levels are so-so. Almost all of them are slow paced, with a lot of tough jumps through spikes or requiring item management (for example bringing shells along to pass the next obstacle). Often times this works great, like in stage 1, but other times it can feel frustrating having to redo these kind of obstacles over and over due to the length of segments without checkpoints. In particular, the required item management can get frustrating when you accidently destroy a shell or a goomba that is needed to pass the next obstacle.
The bosses are the weakest point of the hack in my opinion, mostly because they are very hard (some of them feel spammy with enemies as well) and don't have a checkpoint before them. I found myself savestating through most boss fights for this reason.
Overall I would recommend this hack since it is very unique and has more positives than negatives, but you ARE gonna suffer and potentially get frustrated when playing it, so be prepared for that.
Just spent 10 minits in the first level and it's still not beaten because I play like potato.
It's hard but in the good kind of way.
I've been following this on discord for a while and I admire your works because you seem to enjoy yourself a lot, a bit like a mad scientist
Also, frick bumpties.
