Well this isn't exactly a 200 video special. Was going to make one but don't exactly know what to do for it so yeah. (Also if anyone plans to wish me happy 200 video, do NOT do it on this video unless your commenting about the level as well.)

Info: Well I've finished revamping another level from the update. For who ever has played the hack up until world 3, you might remember the first level of that world which was Nova's Factory. Now, if there was any level I thought that needed to be improved in the hack, it was defiantly that one. (Especially after reading the removal log comments.) So I started this level over and decided to go with a little bit of a different concept, though the main object is still to find the Sky Factory.

What's New?

1. I decided to change the foreground graphics as working with the original castle graphics wasn't doing much for the level.

2. The level still kind of plays the same minus being flat. It's more non linear and just a little room to explore.

3. The concept is kind of different. Mute's objective here is to find the switches that will turn the power on. Once the power is on, the factory will shift a little as well as alert all the enemies around. The power is only suppose to stay on for a limited amount of time so your normally supposed to be timed on those parts but I didn't edit the timer yet.

4. Same sprites used through out the level though some will only be active once the power is on.

5. The level now has a new part which involves some Layer 2 usage. For once in my life, I managed to get the Layer 2 smasher to work. (Didn't realize it was that simple.)

I originally didn't plan for the level to be that long but I lost track of length. Then again, I remember the original version kind of being around this length. It's one of the more important levels of the hack. (Just one of the few long levels aside from the final level.) Well at least it has a midpoint and a good amount of power ups. (And not too difficult either.)

Overall, I like how this turned out. This level was originally in desperate need of a improvement. Anyways comments and feedback are always appreciated. If you have any suggestions about the update, please feel free to comment below mentioning. I want to make this release something to remember.
