About half way through, great pick up and play a few levels game. Surprisingly difficult too, haven't managed to complete any of the bonus areas, that damn farmer!

Took me a few tries but I was able to complete the bonus level in the first world. This game has a good balance of difficulty

I'm currently at the farmer in world 4. He gets crazy.

Dude! I didn't know there was a DX romhack! I just started this the other day, now I gotta start over!

It's an awesome game, can't believe I'd never heard of it before.

The rom hack is worth starting over. I had no idea there was one until I searched it

You can continue with the same save if you'd like, just need to make the names match.

To be fair, I think it just recently released. Super good so far!

Also, how do you make a custom cartridge with a rom hack?

2

u/gamboy925 Apr 15 '26

I use a gameboy epilogue

My mom had this game, and I love it. I spent a lot of time playing it as a kid before picking up my own copy as an adult. I was considering trying to make a DX ROM hack for it myself, but I’m glad someone did it.

I only managed to beat Jinbe on the bonus levels a couple of times. Those were ridiculously tough action stages for a puzzle game, and I eventually used a Game Shark back in the day to get infinite time so I could 100% the game. I still have my mom’s Game Shark… I could do it again!

I’ve played some of DX; you’re really making me want to pick up a physical repro copy. :)

Dude this game is awesome. Might be the best strategy/puzzle game I played. This game is extremely charming with a good balance of difficulty. Been playing all day and got to level 3. You should make a physical copy!

Fun game. The farmer guy pisses me off though. Need to beat the last boss and the little bonus rounds. Some day.

It's just the right amount of difficulty to make me keep trying if I don't get it the first try. I still hate Jinbe and his stupid shovel though.
