I'll wait a year and write the review from memory.

EDIT: Uh from what I remember this is mostly similar to the original but the levels are extremely short. Ghost Houses are a lot more confusing in this but I never really struggled with them so it's ok. The music now sounds very weird and bad it's kinda funny.

Personally I thought the idea of this hack was way cooler than actually playing it, the SMW Mechanics kept it from being horrible but I don't really like the original SMW so it also kept it from being good. At the end of the day this is just a hack where you go "Wait that level wasn't like this at all what were they thinking? A feather in World 1? What!" through the whole game and then it's over, which I guess is what I should've expected.

There was one level in particular, a castle level, where the way they misremembered it turned it into some unfair hell. And it was never tested? Probably? That's the only justification I can think of for leaving that shit in. You don't even know the relief I felt watching SimpleFlips play this hack after I did and seeing him struggle on the same level for a long time. They stripped it from power ups and made a very short snake block that has the perfect trajectory to make the podoboo's spawn over and over again and destroy you. Very annoying.

If the title of this game sounds very fun to you (for a 1-4 hours experience) then by all means check this out you'll probably enjoy it, delivers exactly what it promises to.
