* Removed X-ray, which sucks but whatever (beam burst is funny enough)
* Early springball, which basically made up for the loss of X-Ray
* Not too much changes from vanilla in terms of physics or mechanics, which I can appreciate
* AWESOME visuals and great room design
* Great atmosphere and attention to detail
* Increased difficulty from vanilla, especially in LN and Tourian (really enjoyed the screw attack sequence especially)
* While it may not account for low%, it definitely has several nods to speedrunners spread throughout
My personal favorite hack. Play this, you won't regret it.

Really great hack. Aesthetics are impeccable, the level design is great (encouraging collecting weapon upgrades with the strong enemies is another cool addition imo), and aside from some rooms being laggy (such as croc and final boss, which by the way great job coding that dude), the overall experience is really great. Shinespark mechanics were confusing for me, but don't take long to learn.
