Hey, man. Super Junkoid was no Subversion but it was still good.

Just finished this. Pretty damn good. The beginning blew me away with how different it felt. Unlike the original Junkoid a lot of the powerups had changed mechanics to feel very different. Blood was such a good area. The little puzzle really sold it. Just a glimpse into the mind of a fucked up purity-obsessed snake god and his schoolgirl oneitis.

It felt a little phoned in by the end, though. A lot of the reskins didn't quite fit. Especially the later bosses. A little tweaking could have made them an absolute menace but they were just... vanilla. They ran out of fitting custom tracks, too.

Obviously that's a lot of work but they could have done a little more with less. There's a room with no music at all and it's one of the most atmospheric in the game. I guess Subversion just spoiled me and now any endgame that isn't insanely elaborate feels barren.
