This is a very good quest, sadly I was unable to complete it do to a game breaking bug which made so I couldn't fire missiles anymore, speaking of bugs, it's got a lot of them, also the difficulty felt a little off, it's very hard to find where to go but . . . the bosses are a little on the easy side, and when I say easy side I mean you literally have to try to die to die, for example: Phantoon might be a hard boss if it did more than 4 DAMAGE and I had 3 energy tanks at the meaning I'd die in 100 hit . . . yea no. also I got to the spider boss and didn't have the right upgrade and had to wait for way too long for it to kill me.
other than the problems stated above this is a very good game, and I can't wait to see what you make next

Given the limitations of ZC's engine, I am quite astounded by ywkls's capabilities as both a quest designer as well as a scripter, to be able to insert a fully-fledged sideview platformer into the ZC engine. Metroid: Origins spans 3 overworld maps from what I was able to make of it, and his area design was definitely on-par with a Metroid environment. (I say this despite not having played much Metroid official titles except Prime 1, 2 & 3). Each area served its purpose, plenty of backtracking and figuring out where to go. The spacebar map -helped tremendously- throughout the adventure. He's got plenty of little upgrades and secrets hidden all over the place. However, given the length of the quest and the amount of things within it, I feel some of the upgrades and items in the quest just do not belong. The controls of the quest is another thing, as it uses the standard selectable A/B button item feature in ZC 2.50, it also uses all 4 of the EX buttons for additional things. Some of the controls just downright are -not- explaind at all, such as the "Shine Sprite" functionality of the speed boost upgrade you get about halfway in. ywkls had to explain how it worked for me in Twitch Chat, and even then it took me about 15 minutes to finally figure out how that control scheme worked. So there's a bit of a control learning curve in this quest as well.
The Metroid you get from the start, rarely used to uncover secrets and/or open key paths to provide for additional progression throughout the quest. It's entirely useless in boss fights (and I can understand why, too) and outside of that the micromanaging of it's health value is something that we could be without. While its nice to have a companion that assists with combat, where it's needed the most it just does nothing. A good upgrade for it would be to draw its health value on the subscreen while it's active/inactive but on either the A or B button. Another good upgrade for the metroid is to use it to uncover more secrets than what exists in the quest currently.
The grapple beam, albeit gimmicky at best, is another of those difficult to learn items. And even then when I was first playing around with it, I got myself stuck in a ceiling and had to reset in order to continue. I do like its functionality, however. ... It's just quite difficult to pull off from the get-go, so I tried to come up with other methods to avoid having to use it.
The Wall Climbing functionality found later on in the quest is quite difficult to pull off. I found myself being unable to properly GRIP the wall, and then fall down to the bottom of the shaft I was trying to climb up, only to have to try again. Then again, from what I was told it was easier to pull off in an older version of the quest, but also easier to get yourself stuck -in- the wall as well. I'm glad I didn't have to deal with being stuck in the wall.
Some of the morph ball paths also frustrated me as well, but these have since been modified to not be that rage-inducing, so I can let this slide. However, there -is- a bit of a problem when it comes to collision checks and ceilings with bomb-jumping (and even regular jumping later on after the upgrade). It appears the collision detection for the ceiling while morphed is 8 pixels BELOW the actual ceiling tiles themselves, which is causing this erratic behavior. While the sloped blocks in the morph passageways allow for easier traversing them back upwards is helpful, that is merely a bandaid-fix on this, and I'd recommend reworking the collision detection to allow for those additional 8 pixels of space so you can bomb-jump up to the ceiling instead of being stopped 8-pixels away.
Despite the above problems I've laid out, the scripted bosses and enemies all provide a more authentic Metroid experience within the ZC engine. I would definitely be looking forward to any sequels of this quest and would like to play through them whenever they are released. Overall rating: 4/5 stars. There's definitely room for improvement here. Keep it up ywkls.
The Metroid you get from the start, rarely used to uncover secrets and/or open key paths to provide for additional progression throughout the quest. It's entirely useless in boss fights (and I can understand why, too) and outside of that the micromanaging of it's health value is something that we could be without. While its nice to have a companion that assists with combat, where it's needed the most it just does nothing. A good upgrade for it would be to draw its health value on the subscreen while it's active/inactive but on either the A or B button. Another good upgrade for the metroid is to use it to uncover more secrets than what exists in the quest currently.
The grapple beam, albeit gimmicky at best, is another of those difficult to learn items. And even then when I was first playing around with it, I got myself stuck in a ceiling and had to reset in order to continue. I do like its functionality, however. ... It's just quite difficult to pull off from the get-go, so I tried to come up with other methods to avoid having to use it.
The Wall Climbing functionality found later on in the quest is quite difficult to pull off. I found myself being unable to properly GRIP the wall, and then fall down to the bottom of the shaft I was trying to climb up, only to have to try again. Then again, from what I was told it was easier to pull off in an older version of the quest, but also easier to get yourself stuck -in- the wall as well. I'm glad I didn't have to deal with being stuck in the wall.

Imagine using a Zelda maker program to make a almost completely real Metroid game. That takes some incredible talent.
Originally rough around the edges...its polished into a true masterpiece in my opinion. Metroid is a seriously underrated series...and this quest adds one more game into a sadly underappreciated series.

i want more quests to follow the smoothness this had. This game was very well done.
The only small issue i had was I got stuck in like a ledge or two changing screens but it wasn't gamebreaking.
Everything was put well together. I am impressed

I'm gonna try this.
Edit: So far I actually like this, graphics design could use an overhaul or sharpened. Pretty much the smoother something looks the more sprites it has. Blocky things have less. I recommend using piskel for simple things and GraphicsGale for more complex things. Or you could use the Allegro sprite editor since ZC runs on it. Animations a bit sloppy but not that bad. Even if what I said sounded harsh, it's only enough for me dock 1 star. It's not too big a deal.
Edit 2: The graphics part isn't your fault, I forgot I was using a 3rd party graphics enhancer and it seems ZC is incompatible with it.

Hello Again.
I'm giving your release another go. I'm up to Kraid so far. Some observations.
The balancing is tremendously better and the controls flow smoother. I even managed to figure out what barricade the Metroid was supposed to destroy with the fire this time around. LOL
There are far less shortcuts to sequence break...but I think I noticed one. I remember that you're not supposed to be able to return to the first area until around the time you find the High Jump Boots...but its possible to go back sooner via the warp system. I don't know if there is a way you can code it so you can't warp back to the ship until a certain point in the game or not. Speaking of the ship....I noticed a number 7 floating towards the center of something. It comes and goes when changing screens or pulling up the save menu. Is there a point to that number, or is it just there for some reason. More annoying and importantly....when you load a save game...you're total energy tanks are completely invisible...so there is no way to tell how much energy you have...especially for a boss fight. This didn't happen in the beta....so I assume there was a mistake in coding somewhere.
I love the additions. The menu options for saving and refill stations, and especially the warp addition. Makes it feel more metroidy. Bosses seem better balanced too. I'll continue playing.
BTW, have you played the AM2R remake yet?
Addition: The energy tank display glitch is removed when you refill at a station...the actual trigger is dying, save & quit, then reload. It doesn't happen if you load after actually saving.
The Roundabout way on the plant world...once you get the Phase Modular...its almost impossible to get back up the chute if you don't already have the Spring Ball. I actually got stuck here...and since I can't F6 and there's no warp here...I may have to take a death to get back. I like that you locked the F6...adds another element of challenge.
Back to balancing...I've been thinking about the Plasma Beam. Because of how OP'd it is....(Its Master Sword strength, right?), I think it would be better to make it available late game instead of as soon as you get the Hyper Grip. This can easily be done by blocking it off with some Screw Attack tiles. Homing Missile tiles could work too, but I think that may be a little too far. I fought all the bosses with Missiles this time around. Its very doable. What do you think?
Super Missile over the Yellow door in ventral access point...if you don't have the spring ball...you can't get back through the passage. Bomb jumping doesn't get you in that narrow space...I think because of the slanted roof right above it. Its not a likely place to get stuck. but it can happen.
I figured out the numbers. I see you have the warps numbered. I didn't realize it was above all the save points.
Final Edit: Ok. I played the whole thing. 97%...six deaths. I'm missing a energy tank and power bomb. The last is either another missile (I have 150) or a fifth reserve tank.
I see improvement in the Space Jump...its a bit more manageable...but still frustrating. I don't think it can be improved upon anymore though. I did have a easier time with it...so I'm happy with that. I still think it is a bit on the easy side for a metroid game...but I did enjoy playing it. I give it four stars for the effort and work put in. Thanks for another fun Metroid game.

I really want to like this game, but the jumping is a pain. That slow descent that looks like you're falling off invisible ledges constantly is a big issue. There's also a bit of a problem with enemies and bosses having a much larger hurt box than they should. I'll keep playing it of course, but hopefully things could be tweaked a bit to make it a better experience.
