A challenging but fun hack	ChrisRemixLongplays	2024-04-16	Version REV3
After finishing my playthrough I can say this hack is more on the challenging side, without being too unfair. Most of the challenge comes from the fact you move twice as fast as the original, making movement very slippery. Some required precise jumps can be quite difficult as a result. Level design is pretty good to me and takes advantage of the new physics. I like the new color palette, it gives the hack a fresh feel but some sprites are glitched. The game is a bit short but the challenge makes up for it. Novice players should probably try something else, but I recommend it to more seasoned players who will probably have a blast !
