Hack description

This is a remix of 6 levels from 1943 and is designed to convert the game into a shorter, more fun, 1CC (1 Credit Clear).

The new stage order is:

1
3
6
10
16
24

Due to the reduced stage count, upgrade pickups all grant 3 points (instead of 1 or 2).

This hack also includes my No Panic Music hack https://retrohackers.net/hack-details.php?id=8298/

Please share your feedback on fun & balance! I'm open to publishing a different level order and I'm also interested if you think 3 points per pickup is too much or too little. Thanks for playing!

Interesting idea, maybe needs a little work	Mureisk	2024-01-12	Version 1.0
I like the idea. The original NES version was maybe too long for my tastes. 3 points of stats feels about right. Not sure if you're intended to max your stats or I missed some secrets. After the item pickup on stage 3 or 6, the music didn't change back to the stage music. Stage 16 boat section had a bunch of slowdown on it. Don't remember if the original version had this much slow down or something in the hack is causing it. I had to use save states to get through. Challenge balance felt about right. Still have to beat the last level.
