Length: 21 exit(s)
Type: Kaizo: Intermediate
Description: "The afterlife welcomes you with a path to Paradise."

This is Purgatory: an amalgamation of my video game inspirations, presented as a modern kaizo hack. It seems Mario has met an unfortunate end, finding himself at the foot of Mount Purgatory. The only way to escape is to brave the climb and ascend beyond the apex to reach Paradise.

This hack features:
- 21 exits of pure platforming, primarily (there's very little item usage).
- A variety of custom palettes and backgrounds (with mostly vanilla assets).
- Secret message boxes to find throughout.
- The typical list of QoL patches.
- Fake HDMA :)

With this being my first hack, I had two goals: firstly, to teach myself to play and design kaizo; and secondly, to create a collection of levels that I found to be fun and challenging.

To those that gave me any feedback, to those that helped me directly, and -- of course -- to my wonderful playtesters: there are no words to express how grateful I am. This hack would not be the same without everyone's efforts, comments, and collective reassurance. Thank you all, truly.

To those who will embark on the journey to Paradise: I wish you good luck and I hope you enjoy it.

Persevere.

Excellent hack. The set-ups were consistent and intuitive. I generally enjoyed all the custom ASM. The more challenging ASM was nerfed with shorter sections (single button press water, for example) which was an excellent player friendly choice. It really seems like a ton of effort went into the hack and there was a very clear attention to detail. It showed, because this is an excellent hack. Highly recommend.

easily my favorite hack ever. one of my favorite games ever. this hack was beyond my skill level, but it pushed me without ever feeling tedious or frustrating (despite many times saying to myself 'this is impossible'), so sticking with it until my skill caught up was a joy. i hope to someday make something i love as much as i love this <3

No spring jam 0/10, nah but fr the hack is very well done and in my top 3 hacks for sure.

Part of the 'next gen' of hack design being released over the last year+.

This hack relies heavily on 'gotta go fast' design difficulty, and so lends to plenty of spaghetti. As such, a 12 hour clear time for me - while still entertaining throughout.

Loving this hack so much. I'm 17 exits in, and sad it's almost over. It has a great mix of tight jumps and fun platforming, with a few moments that really put a smile on my face. Thank you for putting the time into this, it shows. #smw{:TUP:}

This was a joy to play from start to finish, the attention to detail throughout is incredible. This is a great hack to really help with jump control, I think this is ideal for intermediate players and above but is very accessible to any player. Amazing job working on this and I hope to see more of your work in the future! 5/5

Fyre really is a master of "french vanilla" aesthetics - which are consistent throughout both this hack's visuals and level design. Fun and polished levels from top to bottom. #tb{:>}

A very awesome hack, the levels are totally well done, the gameplay is great, nothing to complain about 10/10.
Kezcade Link
An extremely well made hack that shows it was made with lots of love and attention to detail, and this not only being Fyre's first hack but also being their introduction to playing kaizo is incredible.

This beauty is really close to my heart. Thanks FYRE to being part of the creation!!

An excellent hack. Well-polished aesthetics, interesting yet familiar gameplay, and a keen eye for design makes Purgatory stand out. Thank you for making, FYRE.
