Description: | Papaya Mountain is my attempt to use stupid vanilla mechanics (aided by custom blocks and sprites) to try to make a fun thingy. Also, this is a very Yoshi heavy hack, be warned. The difficulty curve is all over the place which is sure to provide hours of fun! This is an easy/intermediate hack with relatively short levels. but some arguably cryptic setups and tech. Have fun. Humongous thank you to Placeholdertest for basically doing all of the aesthetics, music choices, and overworld. And to JeesusShuttlesworth for the hot title screen and final boss fight! V1.1 update: Removed second level as I did not think it fit the vibes. Fixed a few inconsistent and/or confusing setups in various levels. Added/changed a few indicators for clarity. Fixed an issue with final boss where some sprites would despawn. More in depth explanation in included 'read me'. |

I'd say this is much more of an intermediate hack than easy, about at the midway point between a Bunbun 2 and an Invictus, but difficulty is a subjective fuzzy scale.
Absolutely a must-play hack!
Thanks VLSkoot!

Outside of the glitch tricks, the kaizo involved is straightforward, which really gives room for having fun with the tricks. No section goes on for too long either. The creativity shines through simple and consistent setups.
Small spoiler, just for the only trick I didn't get relatively quickly, mistaking an indicator for a new glitch I hadn't figured out yet in:
The Vanishing Act, 1st section
That's the only example of something that threw me off the right problem-solving track, which is a testament to how well this hack has implemented the 'show don't tell' design.
The difficulty curve wasn't that wild except for the third level that took at least three times as long as any other level to beat, due to a combination of a few obtuse setups and some overly tight (compared to the rest of the hack) setups. But it still wasn't that bad.

Besides that one glitch this hack was very well crafted and probably VL's best hack to date. Great job!
