This hack is very casual. No advanced skills are required. Might be a good recommendation for newer players.

I used default tilesets in this, with varying results. Some rooms are inspired by the original, others have my own twist on them. I changed the mechanics slightly, but in ways I felt enhanced game-play, but wouldn't dramatically alter it in ways that would change the default experience. It starts off slow, but after a few upgrades the hack really starts to open up.

I made this in a month, so it's far from perfect, but I'm satisfied with the result. I'm also proud to announce that it won the contest. For the best experience, play alone in the dark. There's a few things in it that are... unexpected.

It's 20 rooms, and this hack is 100% completable.

Known Bugs:
-The Map/Energy/Missile sound effects get stuck in a loop. Press the action button to resume gameplay.
-The Xray is messed up in some rooms due to layer1-2/fx1 techniques I used.
