Once you obtain speed booster, it is important to master the maneuverability its new moves. Physics have slightly changed and none are bad or annoying.

Read More Large hack and seems discouraging to have to complete it all. Probably the best hack currently released as of now. Most importantly, despite this being a really long hack it DOES NOT FEEL IT'S LENGTH. ![]() There's lots of great little opportunities to get certain items earlier than intended. Room design was great as well, good use of effects and foreground/background tiles. The new mechanics were super cool and a good way to mix up gameplay, while not feeling too out there.

Not being able to go back for items is a bit of a bummer, but I never felt under-powered despite not going out of my way for a high %.
