I played until I reached a special stage in LZ. I got lost and confused there, lol. Not completely sure how I feel about the stage design and art direction. This hack shows some promise though.

Why did you not use Mega PCM 2? Sorry because the ROM Hack is old, and it was upgraded but there's guide for migrating from Mega PCM 1.x to 2.0

I really like the art in this hack, personally! Everything was aesthetically pleasing and visually well crafted. Although SBZ2 leaves a bit more to be desired in terms of the background changes, imo. I had a nice time with this one! [edit] The special stages were rather different! Interesting concept, but it isn't very clear what to do at first.

There were some clever bits of level design that I enjoyed as well, particularly the "block break to platform" area in the second zone.

Regarding the music, the choices in tracks are rather inspired, but the way they are arranged/composed could be much much better. I'd love to see an update with modified instruments and composition, because the tracklist is awesome (you don't see Sonic Battle music in hacks every day)!

Although my understanding is that this hack is an older one, there's still a lot of potential here!

Not bad at all!

Layouts are nice, art ranges from "Robotnik's lair looks nice with RGB LEDs and a cleanup" to "your LZ is simply gorgeous!", music is not bad, moveset is not impressing but at least it has Spin Dash, and the special stages are forgettable for now. But the potential for better is clearly there. Definitely a keeper~

Also unrelated: the name of the hack reminds me of a defunct supermarket chain in my country :D
