Playable Kirby and Dedede next?SSStylish_Moonborne2022-04-18Version 1.0.2

Only 20 minutes in and I felt compelled to write a review for the first time in my life. It's so good! Meta Knight feels smooth and natural to play and interfaces well with the rest of the enemies in the game. The addition of the music was a welcome surprise, and the new dialogue is extremely cute. Can't wait to play more after I get some sleep!

Far be it from me to tell a hacker "great work, now do even MORE free work," but this hack feels RIPE for iteration. As funny as Meta Knight talking to Yoko is, I'd love to see someone replace Yoko and Alucard with Kirby and Dedede to get the dream team back together for their own Castlevania adventure. Think about it: Kirby could replace Yoko and his "subweapons" could be different elemental copy abilities, for example.

Anyway, fantastic hack, highly recommended from me!
