Honestly, when I read "started yesterday morning ... finished today" I exected this hack to... well suck to be honest but it isn't all that bad.
I'd say the biggest downside to this hack is the lack of variety. We have keyjumps and shelljumps and that's about it.
The first level was decent, I guess mainly because I wasn't bored of the jumps by then. The second one... I guess you tried to make things more difficult with the ball 'n chains and the bullet bills but you ended up making things easier for me, for I could use them to (spin)jump off of them. I also found a
cutoff :3
Lastly (for this level), there are two things that bother me about this screen here. 1: The grammer. 2: The pure existance of this message. Why do you suddenly tell me I need the key and even more what I need to do? In the first level you just expected me to take the key along all the way to the end (which is perfectly fine give this is a kaizo hack).
The "impossible cave" was good. Basicly still shell and keyjumps but the autoscroll made things interesting.
The water level (JS4) on the hand was fairly boring. A bunch of zig-zacking through hurtblocks, dodging some fish and precission swimming.
The castle, well the castle is where things got difficult, and I don't mean this in a good way. Namely, I'm talking about this section here:

I deem this part impossible to pass. I can't possible jump only one block high and fit through that one block high gap inbetween spike block and wooden spike. I think you meant for the wooden spike to go down, so that I can rush through, but it goes up instead. So the one block gap is the widest opening I can get.
If anybody manages to get though there, sure, go ahead and badmouth me for it ^^.
Anyway after that there wasn't much left. Just a line guided ride with a bunch of podoboo and ball 'n chains going around. Honestly, it felt more like you just threw things in at this point rather than aiming for actual difficulty. Because other than one or two short sections, I had no trouble getting through this.
I'm so far for rejection this hack. One reason of course is the (seemingly?) impossible section but overall the lack of variety. It's just keyjump after keyjump after shelljump.
Sure, it's difficult, but there is also suppose to be some sort of fun, no? Maybe it's just me though.
