Hack: Hack 8
Author: GoldenYoshi
Difficulty: Standard: Hard / Skilled
Length: 10 Exits
Patch: smwc.me/s/40619
I wasn't sure if I was gonna moderate this one since "Hack 0 3" wasn't my cup of tea, but there were few options to moderate so I went ahead and took it.
This was surprisingly very good, I was confused with some gimmicks but this is fun, If I had to say a negative it would be a nitpick, and that is, that I'm not really a fan of the graphic choices, then again, that is just a nitpick, the hack overall is really good.
I dig some of the gimmicks here, like the coin hunting one, the ducking one, the cow one is kinda jank but it's still neat

And here we have it, final 3, these levels were chill, and they do be the best this collab has to offer.
First level is confusing, but its not that bad, and I like the style it goes for, second level is simple but effective, and the number 1 level is good, being on treetops is kinda neat and the level overall does remind me of the classic VLDCs before they went for flashy stuff.
Overall this collab is a mixed bag for me, its not as rough like say, ASMT, the collab is done by new people after all, with some Known faces like the uber camper and green jerry, but most of it was people I never heard of, these can improove for sure, even the scarlet cavern level I hated so much, but only time will tell if this concept gets a sequel
Set Difficulty: 5/10")
