It works!
Reviewed By: Pethronos on 23 Dec 2020If at first, mantaining momentum while landing can be a bit odd, when you get used to, it makes the gameplay really fluid, wich fits perfectly with the philosophy of Zero Mission.
If this patch was compatible with the Chozo Hint Removal patch and the auto charge was optional, it would be perfect!!
Edit: Well, autocharge is out, and Unk-Enabled version has no Chozo Hints, so as an improvement of the original gameplay, it’s perfects as it is.
