This is my absolute favorite mod-- not just because she's my favorite character in general, the moveset is extremely fun to use, my only nitpick is that on a cliffside you can barely angle to laser downwards, but everything else is absolutely fantastic. I recognize both her goal post and game over sprites from their source material, the ability to equip the mask is such a small but appreciated feature. Very nice work.

absolutely stellar character!!! ever since the teasers on twitter i was excited beyond belief and i am certainly not disappointed!! The only reason i dont give it 5 stars is because of a frequent issue that i run into, which is whisper getting stuck inside a cube with an enemy sometimes. Sometimes you can mash out, but sometimes you just have to grin and bear it until the cube dissipates...
unrelated to my rating, but a small nitpick nonetheless: rocket doesn't blow up the arid canyon TNT barrels, yet laser can, which is a little strange.
aside from that, gosh, this is amazing. new main for sure!

I have been waiting a while for a Whisper mod and this does not disappoint. Fun and unique gameplay and it actually made me try out new routs in levels that I haven't taken before.

ive been eyeing this ever since i first stumbled upon the first tweets about it on twitter, and now that its out oh my GOD it does not disappoint

i think this might be one of, if not, my favorite character mod, not only because of it being whisper but also because of the freaking gorgeous sprite art and the completely different moveset whisper provides

the only critiques i really have is that i sometimes find myself using the spike ability instead of the cube ability and vice versa, and i think an option to map the laser ability to the ringtoss button would be really helpful (also i think itd be adorable if whisper and tangle could interact in some way)

overall this is yet another phenomenal mod, great work!!

Love this mod. Always good to see IDW characters in games, her abilities are interesting and give her a unique middle ground between shooter and platformer, and her sprites are good. And after playing most of Metroid Vanguard, I loaded her up in first person for an extended period of time and that's a whole different thing again.

I only have a couple of complaints. First, it kind of sucks that third person lock on doesn't aim her gun up and down, and between that and not being able to jump and shoot it makes hitting flying things without going first person pretty hard.

Second, and related to that, you already let her shoot with the Fire Normal button even in midair in Ringslinger, and I played around with it a little and it felt really good. Why can't she do that in single player? It would also help with flying things in third person, and even help a little with aiming quickly in first person. (As any Scout main in TF2 can tell you, sometimes with a fast character it's easier to "aim" by keeping your aim about where it is and moving.) (Also incredibly minor it would also let me go from First Person Samus to First Person Whisper without rebinding.) (Also maybe one of the custom buttons would be better for single player)

Still, probably my favorite character mod, or at least my favorite one that doesn't feel like a COMPLETELY different game. 5/5, outstanding, I had high hopes and this was even better than expected.

Absolutely Love this mod, The only issue is I can't figure out how to go super with her. I've tried everything and noting works, some help would be very appreciated.

Now all we need is either the metal virus, or Dr. Starline.
Other than that, this goes so good with tangle. Epic mod. 2342312/5

Outstanding piece of work. Just by quickly skimming the reviews I didn't notice much talk about the little technical details, so i'm gonna talk about those here to not tread on what everyone else has said already.
First off, 8 sprite rotations. This is great, considering whisper is asymmetrical. It's very nice. High effort.
Second off, Super Whisper is insane. Hair color changes based on the wisp, and all of them fly around you. It's nice
The only problem I have with this mod is the spike wisp. I want to be able to fire the laser and rocket midair without taking out the spike wisp, and this would also negate the problem of using hammer accidentally when trying to spike wisp a wall. I'd map it to Custom 1 and switch Mask to Custom 2. Might be hard to do, but it would also be nice to have a little hud change when the mask is on, like a crosshair change or something.

Oh, wow. My first review. Better make it count...

Whisper, in the absolute best way possible, feels like she comes from an entirely unique platformer. The Hover, aesthetically, is gorgeously sprited, and VERY useful all at once. The Laser is so fun once you get used to it, and having the Rocket for that added utility makes for some VERY fun boss battles. Having the Cube function disperse special rings is a very nice touch, and the Spike function might be one of my favorite wall-crawls I've ever played with.

I've especially had a lot of fun in Chaos Mode, which put the action-focused moveset to the test in some of the most fun, limit-pushing, and dare I say, chaotic rounds I've ever had in the mode. And that first-person mode for improved aiming? Astounding.

The only criticism I have is the inability to use the laser mid-air. It's versatile, but only on the ground, and that's a bit disappointing. Despite that, however, this is one of my absolute favorite characters to use. I can't wait to try her out even more.

Fun transformation of the game into an action first-person shooter while remaining true to Sonic-style gameplay. Her moveset is simple but powerful, and easy to get to grips with. Each ability is dynamic and has depth to it, creating a high skill ceiling. My only complaints are that oftentimes I would instictively try to fire a Laser bullet in mid-air and launch a buzz-saw instead, so it would be nice to have a way to launch a laser mid-air as it would allow for even more fast-paced shooting. Also, a nice feature to have would be the ability to have shooting use the fire buttons instead of jump and spin; many players have these bound to the mouse buttons so this option would make the experience more similar to usual FPS games.

Yet another amazing Light Dasher mod! You don't seem to ever miss. From Cacee to Tangle, all your mods are packed with quality sprite work, fun "easy to learn, hard to master" movesets, and such replayability, especially with the random characters mod.

First off, I love that the Rocket Wisp can break the rail kart doors. I've always hated those slow sections. Great to see another mod, besides Cacee, that can break those doors.

Secondly, I love the potential speedrunning material that is canceling into a Hover Wisp after using the Cube Wisp's ability. It's very fun to pull off once you get the rhythm of it. Note to self: Never do this trick over a bottomless pit when not super.

overall another light dasher w ngl

0/10 there isnt an interaction with the tangle character wad where they can make out with eachother

All jokes aside, this is SERIOUSLY impressive. Not only did you take a character that I thought would be too complex for this game and gave her a functional moveset, you fit that entire moveset in just the jump and spin buttons. The moveset itself is also really intuitive and balanced despite its relative complexity; her mobility tools are limited to offset her extremely powerful and versatile combat abilities, but they still work well to provide fun and unique ways of traversing levels. Oh, and it goes without saying, but the spritework and visual effects are phenomenal. A masterful wad, all in all. I applaud you.

A very solid character with equally great visuals and effects, this is surely a great mod.
Unfortunately, what really knocks her down is the limitations on the controls. Having 4 of her 5 abilities all mapped to the same button just isn't enjoyable at all, especially when doing so greatly limits when I can even use any of those abilities. I feel this character could greatly benefit from at the very least having the ability to use laser and rocket from a different button e.g. ringtoss, allowing her to shoot in the air, and being able to shoot from springs.
What could be a really fun and unique experience is getting dragged down to merely ok by overlimited controls
