Descent into the Abyss – Pit Glitch Puzzle Hack [1 level demo]

Building a pit hack was a lot of fun, and a suprising number of people have beaten it.
Hence, I decided to build a glitch puzzle hack next. What could go wrong...

The hack will still be a pit hack in the sense that it is meant to be played with rewinds,
frame advance and lua scripts. There are no subpixel perfect obstacles, but some
glitches are both multi-frame perfect and way too cool not to show off, so I decided
to give you the full arsenal of tools to work with.

Since this is a pit hack, I'd like to keep the game mechanics as vanilla as possible.
But some things are just too annoying to build around, so I've patched a few things.

- HF's Hell glitch is patched.
- Grazing a solid block reduces your speed by 17.
- P-speed and slope sliding speed has been reduced from 49 to 48.
- The hack doesn't use ACE. Getting a consistent effect from a chuck eat is fair game,
but if you're manipulating memory to get specific opcodes, I will bring a yoshi and
spawn a reznor in your castle.

To catch any unwanted side effects of these patches, I'm releasing a 1 level demo of the hack.
I'm very curious to see how difficult my puzzles are.

Wow, this is exciting and something that I didn't expect looking into this forum. Haven't played anything yet, but looking at it in Lunar Magic for a few minutes I was completely unable to tell what the level is about... So uh, I'm also curious to see how difficult these puzzles are :​)
Also, I saw you're still using LM 2.53 and now I'm worried about the reasons for that.

I'm slightly disappointed to see Spawn Index Transferal being completely patched out, but I also see why you would. It's just very broken... Patching out walljumps on the other hand sounds like a really good idea - it's always weird to have them as a non-intended, but clearly possible, option. I guess these patches also rule out the p-speed version of yoshi elevator, so that's another annoying break off the table (in case these patches work as advertised, anyway).

(Also, the vine in screen 0 of sublevel 8A is cutoff, literally unplayable smh)

Justin released a 1 level demo of Super Mario Stugglez 7 years ago, but has yet to release the full hack.



I can't wait for the LM changelog stream :^)



I have an unfinished level built around it, we'll see...
