As a rom hack, this is pretty impressive and cool, though not exactly my kind of thing.

I know this is a bit of a nothing complaint for a hack that lasts all of maybe an hour or two at most, but the fact that this game doesn't save makes me want to end it all.

This took two years to finish, when it could've easily been made in 11 months at maximum if more interest was put by the developers into this. With that large amount of time "spent" working on the project, you'd think that the end result would be something 1:1 with the real thing?
No. (At least when it first released)
I'm not gonna go into detail about every minor thing they got wrong (The HUD textures and the player animations being the major things) but it wasn't a lot and the major things were easily fixable if you modified some files of the source code of this open source project.
But... hear me out, I think other than that, it is pretty accurate. Sure, there are still a few minor inaccuracies in some minor areas, but they are so minor you really wouldn't notice a difference playing a modified version to fix the two major inaccuracies.
