A mod for Super Metroid
A complete hack of Super Metroid, new level design, visual improvements and new mechanics. With a focus on puzzles, exploration and challenges. The main idea of this hack is like multiple small hacks put into one with a connected progression and world. So it’s more levels based (multiple zones). With map portions closing behind you at the end of the zone. You will see where it ends on the map in the game. Start at the Abyss of the planet and ascend your way up to the surface. Will you be able to defeat the black parasites and reach the extraction point? Find out in Ascent!

The structure of Ascent is highly reminiscent of Metroid II. Providing 3 zones in a linear sequence with non-linear exploration performed inside each zone. This has the great benefit of reigning in the number of possible places to explore for progress and keeps the pace rolling.
I sadly encountered a lot of graphical and audio glitches, thus damaging the presentation. An absolutely solid piece of design work however, with great use of the vanilla SM tileset and a few custom additions employed to create distinct locales.
