Love Yourself

A hack for the excited beginner and the seasoned veteran, Love Yourself provides a vanilla adjacent kaizo experience accessible (and enjoyable) to all skill levels. Love Yourself features 17 levels (no secret exits), a few custom sprites, plenty of custom graphics/palettes, and a fun soundtrack. Many thanks to the SMWC members who provided the resources used to build this hack. There are also 3 secret rooms, each dedicated to one of the awesome playtesters who helped to polish this hack. Can you find them all?

Love Yourself was built under a semi-strict 9 month deadline. Work began soon after my wife (Mrs. Chon) found out that she was pregnant with our first child. My goal was to create a hack that my kids could play as an introduction to SMW Kaizo. This hack is dedicated to all of my kids (however many there may be).

Please enjoy, and feel free to let me know you played through Love Yourself. I value all of your feedback so that I can better improve my craft as a level maker.
