[spoiler=Story]
Set after the events of Metroid Dread. Many years after her campaigns on Zebeth, Samus is assisting scientists on the Ceres B when Chairman Keaton informs her of a distress call from the Cereth Station.

When she arrives, the Adam AI on her ship is strangely silent, likely from the chewed wires from the Little Birdie specimen she found on Ceres B.

All is not well on Cereth, as it is infiltrated by surviving Zebesian forces and infested by the specimens that have gotten loose.

Try to clear the infestation without blowing stuff up this time.

Gameplay

I tried to take the feedback I received from the various folks who played and streamed the contest version and correct glaring design issues.

That being said, though there is a little bit of linearity baked into the hack, it is in many ways a "choose your adventure" game with routing.

Hellruns are not mandatory. If you find the difficulty is extreme you should probably return to previous areas to see if you missed anything.

Physics are overhauled, generated by a combination of site resources as well as custom tweaks. Special thanks to the Subversion Repo as well as the Project Base Engine and the Axeil Edition code.

Thanks to everybody that streamed or provided feedback.

Beat it in an hour and 8 minutes with 94.2% items. Completely forgot about the turtle, though. :(

Fun mini-hack, definitely recommend. Looking forward to future hacks!

Fun way to spend an hour.  Beat it in 51 minutes in-game, with 84% completion.  Never found [spoiler]plasma beam[/spoiler]   
It was very easy with exploration but I can see how if one wanted it to be hard they could find a route that would do the trick.  Simple Minds would be pleased to know I lived up to their directive.

Good game and thanks for checking it out!

If you'd like, here is a hint for the location of that item:

[spoiler]Keep looking around the Void area. There is a room that is very easy to skip over if you stay on the main route.[/spoiler]

Returning to the forums feels kind of like Obi Wan and Yoda browsing the archives after Order 66...

Test: (Not a Cereth Invasion room. This is from Wrath of Kraid 2.)



Spoilers still a bust, but at least images are embedding properly.
