Happy-Go-Lucky difficulty

Hack of Hook

Description

This Happy-Go-Lucky difficulty hack attempts to compensate for the game's brutal difficulty. It does this by giving the player more health, at the expense of the game's max health upgrade system.

The game has problems with:
- Unfair enemy patterns, that aren't realistically avoidable, or aren't avoidable at all.
- Enemies respawning when their spawn point leaves the screen.
- Situations that invite you to jump in, but then punish you.
- Restart the level when dying.
- Limited visibility of traps.

This hack results in contact with these elements becoming less problematic, and the game becomes completable without save states. You'll also notice that this is actually an amazing platformer with great music, and pretty graphics.

Note:
You have 1 more HP than the HP bar can show. This was initially accidental, but is actually fitting: In this game you also die when HP goes BELOW 0, so your last HP isn't shown either. It's fitting of Peter Pan, which is all about believing, positivity, and how as a child you don't realize your health is finite, and learn that you can take more of a beating that you'd expect.
This is also parallel with how the game is now a feel good adventure with a nice pace.

Bugs:
There's an animation bug that happens. Not sure why.
