Continue to develop the hack. The ideas are really good.
This was an incredibly fun hack to play. And that boss battle caught me off my gaurd. Excellent work!
In Wing Fortress, if you go behind the start with the rocket boots and then keep going up, the level does a weird vertical wrap thing and then just drops you at the end, may wanna fix that.
