This is not going to be everyone's cup of tea, but for a first hack and a challenge hack, I did enjoy it. As the preview pics show, there are some interesting rooms and backgrounds to be seen. Mandatory progression items do require some semi-advanced tech, and there's other built in challenges as well. There was a chokepoint during exploration that was pretty tough to find the path forward that normally I'd grind out, but I had invited the author to watch a playthrough and for the sake of not boring him to death, I did get a hint, but was still the biggest time eater of the playthrough. The rest of the level and map design was pretty solid for a first time effort. The escape is quite beefy and difficult to pull off first try for a few reasons, but was pretty unique and satisfying to finish. Good job Neen, looking forward to future works.

Neat hack!
A lot of the level design in this hack is extremely unusual but it goes quite well with the hack. It's something I haven't quite seen before, and has some really interesting things in store. Some decently advanced tech is required but you don't need all of it to beat the game. All in all, a nice place visit.

Finished.
Recommend.

A nice challenge hack; for being the author's first hack, the result is quite good. It is appropriate for spend an afternoon trying to find the route to follow. I must admit that the room where you need to do a short charge caused me headaches, either because the path is uphill or because I like to play with an Xbox 360 wireless controller, using the analog stick. I especially liked a multicolor background in a room, it is very well done. Thanks for this game, neen, I hope to be able to play more hacks from you in the near future. I recommend this game to people who like challenge hacks.

No completion stats.

Graphically this is way too rough around the edges, what you see in the screenshots are what you are going to get. There is a clear sign of effort put into this though so I'll give it an extra orb for that.

Crazy hack. Time was IGT, but probably I've spend at least triple of that in some parts. Some were trial and error because I either wasn't used to the tech or I didn't do them in a loooong time (4-ish months since I did the Samus Wants Robot, and almost an year since Cliffhanger Redux)

I'd say this hack is Expert more on the tech-side of things, but there still a couple of tight, nearing batshit difficult sequences. Fortunately, there's a couple of save stations around.

The hack really rewards exploration; you either get some nice upgrades or think "okay, I can come back here later". Also surprisingly, this is an Expert hack but not super linear.

I did d'oh and forgot to come back for 1 reserve and 1 missile upgrade. I also saw another missile upgrade but I was very lazy to get it. Speaking of lazy, I'll also grab Charge when I re-explore the hack again. There was at least two rooms I didn't or couldn't enter, I assume there's lots of secrets in this one.

I also liked how X-Ray was useful both for finding stuff and for the climbs. Luckily, there's not a lot of mandatory climbs, cuz I mostly suck on them.

Again, amazing hack. Will play it again to figure out more of the secrets.

P.S. Saving the animals was also crazy!
