I grabbed version 2.0 of this hack. The reviews for this hack appeared to be a little negative, but I downloaded anyway and started playing.
Now first off, the hack is kinda hard, and whilst this was frustating to start with the issue was my expectations. There are places where skill is needed to avoid damage and there are a few btis designed so the player will take damage. So, adapt. The hack is listed as veteran difficulty, and once I'd adjusted my play style to not just steam through the map, be a little more careful and patient I did a lot better.
Noticed another critisism was the colour pallet, to be honest, after I played a while and let my eyes adjust to what provided collision and what didn't, I liked it. Especially the blue and purple colour scheme.
Progression felt alright and somewhat rewarded me for my time, and when I managed to hit a location that I couldn't escape from, the author was good enough to discuss it on Discord. The bosses were pretty challenging with just Charge and Varia, Ridley took me 5 attemtps.
Take the hack for what it is, a small experience in a space ship with enemies that hit hard and a layout that will demand a bit of patience. Set your expectations appropriately and you'll have fun.
