Fast paced fun!
Reviewed By: Bclams on 28 May 2017This hack was very fun to play through. I really like the faster paced gameplay and movement. The levels are changed so well from the old version also. The puzzles that uses items 1 2 3 are very smart in Wily levels. The Conquest mode is harder but never unfair. I love the music.
