I see no improvement.
Reviewed By: Void-the-Bat on 01 Jun 2020Out of every version of the original game, the bad design, physics, and enemy AI were what needed to be improved on the most, and yet almost none of that was altered in any of the improvement versions. The player physics are still awful, the level design is still (mostly) cheap, and you have little to no reaction time to enemies because they immediately shoot projectiles when you get close to them. There really aren’t any improvements to any version of the hack, regardless of who originally made it or continued it. You may as well just play the original Genesis version or play the much better Somari 3D Blast 5 fan game at this rate. For a game like this, graphical and audio changes are NOT improvements.
