Currently I am playing Grand Poo World by barb. It is a hard hack and the levels are really tough. I am a beginner to kaizo but I am getting the hang of it. I have beaten 13 levels so far in the hack. My method of playing is by first learning and practicing the most diffucult parts of the level via save states. That way I dont have to progress to a certain part of the level just to practice a certain segment. Once I have learned and practiced the level, I then play it from beginning to end without any save states. Does anyone consider this cheating?
Nah, it's fair game. A lot of Kaizo players like to practice that way.
Feel free to visit my website/blog - it's updated rarely, but it looks pretty cool!
