Reviewing: This hack is quite fun to play with. The timers depend on how fast the player walks. If the player's standing still, the timer simply stops and you can get ready to fire some fireballs, then continue walking and 'release' the fireballs.

Technical stuff:

So I believe the mechanics are like this: Everything depends on your horizontal speed. You're moving = Game clock works, otherwise the clock doesn't.

Standing still = Mechanics stop. Walking = Game mechanics are slowed. Running = Game mechanics are like normal.

My suggestion is that if you want to improve this, calculate the H^2 + V^2 speed (or simply use the |H| speed or |H|+|V| speed) and adjust the slowdown rate&clock speed(clock counter reload value) accordingly. Use a table if required.

Anyway, nice stuff, it could be of some fun. Much better than the other hacks you submitted this time (fun over frustration).

Surprisingly well executed and fun to play around with, this hack is good for a little amusement. It seems to be well coded, and could probably be used as an interesting mechanic in a more extensive hack, but as is it's mostly a novelty and not something you'll spend too much time with.
