Amazing to hear that everyone in the dev team are doing well, and hooray for Rich Flavors! 

Smaller projects definitely help break up the infinite iterative loop that is game development, so its good seeing you guys pacing yourselves. 

Keep the good stuff coming and good luck! We'll be there for as long as it takes.

P.S: Definitely think dropping the chapter-by-chapter release was the right call, I've seen so many great games take way longer simply because ideas don't flow as naturally when segmenting the game. Either way, best of luck with everything once more!

I second this.

Sounds good. Thanks for taking it into account!

Thanks for the quick reply! Ok so here're some thoughts, they're basically notes so excuse the disorganization:

1. I felt the difficulty spike at Cheese Gone Bad a bit

2. This was mostly due to quicksand being death pits, which sorta slowed things down (maybe making it escapable would help?)

3. It'd be really fun if the snowballs (in Snow But Evil) can be thrown/picked up instead of just killing you, it could add more depth to the level!

4. Kinda small, but replacing the yellow coins with red in the red ring challenges would be a nice touch! (+ add more of them, they're pretty fun in my opinion)

5. This one might be a bit of a stretch, but the life system seems a tiny bit tacked on (Game Overs don't do much besides sending you out the level). Maybe you could get a powerup at 100 coins instead?

6. Maybe the more gimmicky movements/powerups could use some explaining? (looking at you Cloud Flower...) 

7. It'd be nice if you added sections in earlier levels which fully incorporate some custom stuff, just to make sure players know about them (the custom stuff are very cool)

I know I did nothing but nitpick a bit (sorry...), but this hack was amazing. From the sprite work to the music, it was utter peak. Sorry for flooding the comments, wishing you all the best!

EDIT: Not directly hack related, but uploading this hack on different websites might help it get more eyes too. Places like SMW Central and Mario Fan Games Galaxy.

I also have a few suggestions for the hack if you're open (just stuff I noticed while playing)

This hack is honestly amazing and seriously underrated. 

Also wanted to know if you can transfer save files between versions? I downloaded v1.1.0 the other day and just downloaded v1.1.6 and I can't seem to do it? But I might be missing something

Plus is there a Discord server or something else to join? I'd love to discuss this hack with other people!
