Some features seem unpolished, such as the minimap or tilings, this Chinese hack is completed though. It is interesting but challenging, and I don't think it is "vanilla" tier - maybe veteran is approriate. Strange techniques or tricks are required for both the playthrough and optional items.

Recommended if you enjoy other tricky Chinese hacks or want to enjoy them. Not recommended otherwise.

This is a DEADLY good Hack!
Decent zm-mechanics puzzles, inspiring boss transportations, and impressive atomsphere and graphics.
I didn't open the sound but I do not need it to give a 10/10.

There are many imperfect points, many rooms remaining unchanged in this hack, but it does have an interesting exploration line and some intriguing sequence breaks.
Tiling might be strange somewhere but kind of creative.
I gave 4 orbs because I don't think this is as bad as a half hack of 2 orbs or 1.

Really good hack, making my oranges rotate.
Found Bomb, but haven't yet figured out what the "?" wall means.
Not a long hack but involves many interesting tricks. The map is also really connected and hidden items are interesting to find.
Beautiful orange juice textures too!
Edit:
100%-ed in 2:43. There sure are some really hard items to get.
