Journey to Silius: Journey to Silius Plus

Journey to Silius Plus aims to fix the known bugs and to make the game more attractive to players. The game itself is also a bit harder, so the players that have played Silius for a long time and know it well - may find it interesting.

This hack features slightly redesigned levels, rebalanced weapons, modified palettes, replaced and relocated enemies and more.
