Ok, I played this, but I have to ask, how much did you change for the demo? I counted maybe 8 rooms that were changed: The beginning, the vertical room towards Kraid, the third brinstar room, Bomb room, room before bomb room, elevator to Norfair, and the room with the space pirate and maybe one more. I even sequence broke my way up to Varia Suit using Diagonal Bomb-Jumping to see if you'd changed anything up there but nothing new. Is this truly all there was? I know this was a demo but it felt...lacking.

Also, was the new stuff in the video just added over the past few days since the demo?

I have to say that I don't think it's a very good idea to have to use such difficult sequence-breaking techniques to progress in the game. I'm a very good player at MZM, having beaten the game in 46 minutes and completing the 15% Hard run, but I still have trouble with infinite and diagonal bomb jumping. I'm guessing that very few people, if any, can pull the tricks off with true consistency, so for those who can't, what happens to them?

My strong recommendation is to think about the limits of an average player. Don't throw in crazy hard techniques as required challenges just because you can pull it off. It took me 20+ tries and many savestates to successfully get to the Varia Suit and from what I saw in the demo video, it'll take many more tries just to progress a little.

Ok, I was just thinking about it a little. Glad to hear that things are changing. Plus, five hours seems like a good time for a game based off Zero Mission, seeing how people can beat it so quickly nowadays. I continue to look forward to this game and future releases of Zero Fission.
