Extremely creative usage of vanilla tiles, innovative level design, and gameplay driven storytelling make this hack an easy contender for hack of the year, but it almost borders on being two different games. So much of Vitality feels like a totally different game while other places just feel like a rehashed Super Metroid. Easily one of the best hacks around, if you can handle a jarring reminder that you're still playing Super Metroid every once in a while.

Shit music (except for the hive), 2007 tier level design for 60-70% of the hack, and a bunch of unnecessary mechanics for the sake of saying "I can do ASM". Meh.
