A few months ago I decided to start work on Hack 3 Part 2. The main reason for starting this hack was to continue the story introduced in Hack 3.
I began creating the levels and got two done. After that, I had some writer's block and took a hiatus for a couple months. I resumed work on it and finished the six main levels. After that, it was time to create the final level and story portion of the hack. While I was pretty satisfied with the story, I felt that it was becoming too abundant in the hack. The Hack hacks have always primarily focused on levels with unique gimmicks, so I didn't want to detract from that. Plus, I was finding it very difficult to create a final level and really effective cutscenes to convey the story that I lost interest.
So for this reason I decided not to release Hack 3 Part 2. However, I won't let the created levels go to waste, so I'm releasing them now as "Hack 3 Leftovers".
This is a pretty unofficial hack release, and outside of the levels it's pretty barebones, especially when it comes to the overworld and title screen.
Included are the six main levels originally created for Hack 3 Part 2. Each level has five Black Stars hidden in them. There is no save feature in the hack as nothing is unlocked when beating all the levels or collecting all the Black Stars (obviously something would've if Hack 3 Part 2 had been released).
