Croakomire's Ratings and Reviews
Banger hack, crazy cool mechanics, smooth rooms, fun.
If my enjoyment weren't so high, this would be teetering on an orb loss for snappy, disjointed, and erratic scrolling everywhere.
Features (presumably) unreachable map tiles, mapo runners' hearts beware.

Amazing hack, totally nails the idea of an old arcade cabinet, the achievements keep it refreshing, time attack keeps you on your feet, and the whole thing keeps your reactions sharp, lots of replay ability, great music, overall a great time

Fun, quick, looks polished, some rooms may induce epileptic attacks, all the things to make a worthwhile hack

Extremely well put together, nice colors, neat physics changes, fun time overall
For starters, objectively I'd say this is a 5 orb hack. It's tiling and graphics are good, the hack is extremely solid, and it's really smooth to play. The routing definitely has options which is very good, and there's stuff hidden obvious-yet-secretly all around the place that rewards a sharp eye.
"But where's the 5th orb?"
It just lacks something, not soul, it has that, especially in what I've been informed are scalding political criticisms, but just, something. Playing this feels like I toured Italy but didn't bring a camera. There are memorable moments in the hack (Even though a lot of the references and jokes are lost on me), and it's not like nothing happened, but what did happen didn't raise my enjoyment to the tipping point. I still enjoyed the hack, and I think I'll find the last rooms I missed, but I don't see myself replaying this otherwise.
It might be my warped tastes of what I want to play in a Super Metroid hack, but the best way I could describe playing this is "going through the motions of a Metroid game", which it does really well, and I think deserves 5 orbs. I think my main problem is just how easy it is, I moved around the map until I cleared the place out, and that was that. I'm not saying easy hacks are bad, they just aren't my plate of pasta. And as objective as I think reviews should be, I don't think they should completely ignore the reviewers thoughts in favor of objectivity.
Secondly, it probably had something to do with the route I took, but some of the major items felt severely under-utilized, though I see how they could be useful if you route differently. (One item I'm still not even sure of it's effect outside of a single spot). There are two pretty cool items in the hack however.
A well-crafted hack you'll probably enjoy to the fifth orb if you aren't me. There's practically nothing bad about this hack, well done RT.

Feels like the same room sideways, backwards, alphabetical, and chronologically over and over again, but it's ok.
3 orbs's more accurate for me, but the movement was smooth and escape was fun to clean up (2'27"59) so have 4. :thumbs_up_emoji:

Finding Kraid was a nightmare, but other than that, this hack does its best to be as wacky as it can be
The lack of saves increases my liking only because of the nature of the hack, remember the route, it's a game of trial and error, there are a few bugs I ran into such as going to "grapple heaven" when entering a door and all the screens had a heart attack, other than that, solid hack

Not a bad quick hack, fun to play when you're out of things to do.
This hack does an amazing job at being challenging but not that bad at the same time, it also does an extremely great job at being short, fun, and speedrun-able, while most people will probably say something along the lines of "AHHH MY RETINAS ARE BURNING! HELP!" I'll be saying "these colors are enlightening me to the 9th dimension" ~ Good © Fun ® Times™ ~ is truly a masterpiece of a short hack, I'd highly recommend it to anyone looking for a fast challenge

For a halfhack this is quite well done, for a first hack this is quite well done, throw those two factors together and you get a very well done creation, the progression masterfully tells a story of how the hacker's skills developed too, which adds a lot to the experience, would highly recommend, very satisfying speed blocks

Of all the So Little hacks, SLI is a great balance between being fast, well polished, playable, and not too annoying for it's own good, the custom music makes the hack even better, especially the Tetris theme, grapple sections are fun too

It's fun if you make it fun, and the title really says it all, I see no problem here
Ok, hear me out, it's not an amazing hack, however, for what it is, a quick one room grapple focused obstacle course, it isn't terrible, there was an idea, and it was executed, it fits what it was trying to do, many oversights, but at least it's enjoyable
Playable, got boring extremely fast once I got an e-tank.
Tiling and colors don't actually look like anything cohesive, they just look.
Tries to be combat centered, but instead feels like any other "increased enemy damage" hack unfortunately.
