Very nicely done, there are some pleasant surprises here. Very nice rooms and pretty solid flow throughout the hack. However there are a few annoying moments (morph ball mazes, but nothing too bad), some camera issues, and a little bit too much predictability in certain places.
If I had played through the hack properly, it would have been a very easy playthrough, but the hack was willing to bend where I was trying to break it and so I had a nice challenge.

Some odd design choices, and by the time I finished I was ready to be done. Fun hack, but some minor frustrations in many places. Escape needs to be reworked IMO.
3.5/5

Overall solid hack. Visual presentation is outstanding and the challenges are quite difficult and fun to play through. Saves are present between each little section so frustration is minimized. You will, however, learn just how slow Samus's death animation is.
The final boss fight drags on quite bit. I think the health should have been reduced there, especially with what little ammo you get.

The badness of this hack is overrated. There are only two spots that I think are particularly dumb: one in the LN pillar room, and one in the escape. Other than that, this hack has some hilariously silly moments and reasonably challenging boss fights. The puzzle design is a little weak, relying more on guessing than observation, especially before you find X-Ray (which is thankfully in a prominent location.)
There are a number of softlocks and surprise hazards. Be careful playing through the game, and be sure to save often.
Overall not great, but not terrible.
