peak as fuck megaman fangame
MaGMML is an acquired taste, but Episode Zero is something everyone can (and should) play. it's so excellently made to balance the wacky variety of the usual contest formula with the quality control and pacing of a retail product and all held together by one of the best movement systems in a platformer.
Did not expect a Megaman fangame featuring a joke-character (a poorly-drawn and incredibly verbose Zero) to have such love and craftmanship put into it. Typically competitions, this entry in Make A Good Mega Man Level decides to only include a curated list of levels instead of including every entry, trash or treasure. So to say: The quality of most levels (many of which tribute other games such as Wario Land, Castlevania, and Pepsiman!) is absolutely stellar!
What makes many of these levels great is Zero's amazing moveset. Rather than a traditional Megaman X/Zero scheme, this game offers some twists. Zero still has his dash, but now he can maintain his altitude and dash mid-air as well as slam himself to the ground, giving him a speed boost as he lands. It is so enjoyable to master and get the most out of, and the levels are often challenging enough to justify it. Even with 70+ levels, I never got tired of dashing and slashing!
(Most of the soundtrack is borrowed, but there are some incredible original tracks here and there https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dMwJ7E4JSu8&list=PLutTSzCYxvrsApipkfZEzWuwCkIlnY3US&index=1&t=40s&ab_channel=MakeaGoodMegaManLevel )
