Hack description

All 48 normal rooms have been changed as well as the secret rooms. I've tested each room to make sure that it can be completed without the aid of fireballs or super fireballs. I've also eliminated most, if not all possible ways to softlock yourself in any room. The rooms start out pretty simple but start getting extremely challenging towards the end. The best way to play this hack is to save your stockpile of fireballs until much later rooms. That being said each room will have at least 2 Jars of Manda/Magadora (fireballs) but some might be hidden behind panel monsters. Speaking of panel monsters, virtually every single one in the entire game will have a useful item hidden behind them. Be sure to save fireballs to use on them.

Good progressionar_xiv2022-05-19Version 1.0

This levelpack has a fairly smooth difficulty curve and has fewer of the totally ridiculous timing requirements of the original (though I am only 10 or so levels in). Good use of items, easy to spot hidden items if you are looking, and generous pickups. I would say that many of the levels are less thematically strong than the original, and focus too much on packing a lot into the space.

Strangely, this works on my Everdrive, but not on my emulator (openemu).
