As much as I love many of these "Super Metroid" hacks, this is one that I (unfortunately) cannot recommend due to its ridiculously unfair difficulty level. Challenge is one thing, but when it involves an endless assortment of spikes (many of which are inevitably unavoidable and can even instantly kill you no matter how cautious you are), it just takes all the fun out of the game. Put simply, it is just very frustrating.

First off, I am going to say that this hack is not good in any way. There is nothing in the way of innovation in Inverted. The hack follows the same layout as the original Super Metroid, offering little to no changes in the design of rooms themselves. The few rooms that have had changes made to them are fairly minuscule, and even those are poorly done, with random pieces of graphics that simply do not fit in placed randomly around the same rooms that are in Super Metroid.

What this hack does add, however, is spikes. Lots and lots of spikes. And this is not good game design. Jumping off a cliff and landing on a spike (which deals a ludicrous amount of damage, enough to almost instakill you early in the game) is not "difficult", it's infuriatingly bad. So to recap, this hack makes virtually no changes to the game itself, and the changes that are made are bad. As such, I cannot recommend this hack to anyone.
