| Description: | This hack was inspired by all the hacks that use the same songs that everyone else uses with nothing really new or exciting music wise. The only really big feature of this hack is the music although, i do plan on doing custom palettes and gfx for the full version of the hack. This is the first hack i have ever made and feedback is very much appreciated. |

During moderation we are looking for polished well tested hacks to add into the hack section. This is true for demos as well. Demos should be representative of what the rest is going to look like in the future. This hack doesn't really do that, except for the ports which I thought were interesting to showcase. There is no custom palettes, levels are way too short and feel undertested, lack of overworld, etc. I know that this hack is a Work in Progress but the hack section is not a place for that.
Hack Submission Guidelines state:
You are advised to make a thread in Works in Progress instead if you are seeking general feedback about the hack.
I'd recommend putting the .bps file in your file bin and then create a thread with a link to your hack inside.
Since you are looking for feedback on the hack I'll go ahead and include mine.
Feedback:
Palettes could be improved to match the music. The guitar used in the intro, Angry Again,and Jump In the Fire all sound very similar. I think that in a longer hack the music will begin to blend together unless different instruments or samples get used.
Levels are very short.
"Jump in the Fire"- Landing on the first 2 bats was very awkward and annoyingly difficult to land on. On the platform afterwards you can gain p speed and skip the jumps on the podobo. Use the Add Objects Window to place midways in Lunar Magic so they don't respawn.
"Higher Ground" You have cut off dirt tiles surrounding the munchers.
The guitar solos when collecting the guitars were great! I really enjoyed them.
