Gotta say, I did not expect much from the title and the description.
This is actually pretty good. It's kind of a shame that I didn't get to play all of it because of a bug(?).
The maps are pretty fun, in terms of difficulty. I do have to say that they're pretty spacious and look a bit too artificial, despite the decorations and the way you navigate through. Otherwise they're well designed.
One segment I didn't really like was near and around Omega. It felt too punishing, what with these sources of damage everywhere:
^ Especially this moment. By the time you get there, you're very likely to have less than 10 health, and then that Sand Croc swoops in when you awaken Omega. It feels like a sucker punch to the face.
There are more spike placements (and very tight Sand Croc placements) that I couldn't manage to screenshot, I'll explain later. But anyways, I didn't really like these placements. Not only that, there were a LOT of them. There are also chockful of enemies, especially the Skull+Bird combo, which, to less skillful players, might look like impending death.
But the rest of the game seems pretty balanced! I like the enemy placements and the way it's done in the Arena (bar the 5th Wave, though, that was tricky).
The characters and dialog... eh, they're okay. Pretty modern. Pretty "xd". I liked Froggoman and (not)Quote. The new graphics are okay, too.
So, unfortunately, it seems like I can't progress after meeting Mary Sue and 16 Curly Braces. After getting that jetpack, I went after the Life Capsule and got it, then...
Those did not open. I could not proceed by backtracking either.
Well, I guess I'll wait until the next bugfix.
Overall, this mod is pretty refreshing, I liked it. Some improvements can be made to the dialog and certain parts in Sand Zone, but the rest is fine.
and 
D,
