This quest, and it's companion quest Cyclebreaker, are goofy, crazy, and filled with silly music, graphics and ideas. Sometimes the humor is dark and/or just bizarre. They are also a complete blast to play. The level design is often inspired with puzzles that are tough but not too tough, dungeon layouts that are confusing but not too confusing, and clever ideas all over the place. The stories conflict a little but are kind of neat as well. Once I got into both of them I couldn't stop playing either. Highest recommendation. TJ I love your design philosophies and aesthetic and I sincerely hope to see another quest from you in the future. As an example, the way the overworld and the dungeon rooms interact with each other in an area like Neon City is extremely well done. Love both the DS66 quests. They're extremely fun to play and that's what matters most. Only quibble is there is a little too much rupee grinding and I could never find all the hearts to get the master sword. I wish it only cost 15 as that's where I ended in both games.

Beat this in about 8 hours and I have to say that this was one of the most bizarre quests I've ever played, but I had quite a bit of fun throughout. This is also one of the more unique quests on the database, and I really like the mashup of random ideas and different games with tons of references scattered everywhere which were pretty neat. Things weren't too crazy but some parts definitely stumped me at times.

I don't really have any major issues with the quest, though I do feel some way to keep block puzzle secrets permanent via a script or something would be extremely beneficial since I dreaded having to redo puzzles a lot of the time (even with shortcuts which did solve that problem with some of them). Another suggestion I have is to probably have some mention of sensitive content in the description or information somewhere since I came across one point in the Clone Bros area that really threw me off guard (as amusing as it was). Extremely minor thing but would be good to have. As for other issues I came across, I compiled them all into an imgur album which you can find here. The majority of the issues I came across seemed to be Hookshot related, so I would really go back and double check everything. Given how you can latch onto a ton of stuff in this quest, it's extremely easy to accidentally get yourself stuck.

Ultimately I had quite a bit of fun with this quest. It was certainly an interesting experience and I noticed you uploaded a sequel not too long ago so I'll be checking that one out too eventually. I'll give this one a 3.5/5, which rounds up to a 4. Good job!
