At first, it’s just weird seeing everything backward, but the more you play, the more you realize how much it changes things. All those jumps, enemy placements, and barrel puzzles you thought you had memorized? Forget it. You have to rethink your approach because nothing feels quite the same anymore. It’s familiar but also brand new, which is a cool feeling if you’ve played the original a bunch of times.

Some parts feel easier, while others feel way harder, just because your instincts are working against you. There were a few moments where I was like, “Wait, how did I miss that jump?” But that’s part of the fun—it’s challenging without being unfair.

Overall, this hack is a great way to rediscover Donkey Kong Country. It’s not a huge overhaul, but the mirror effect adds just enough of a twist to keep things fresh and exciting. If you’re a fan of the original game, it’s definitely worth checking out!
