Heart of Zyra is my fresh new set of 13 levels for Prince of Persia, including the princess rescue and something else. This tells yet another remake of the princeverse story we all know: long long after the death of Jaffar, one of his zillion cousins -let's call him Gerald- woke up from the wrong side of the bed and decided to rule the persian kingdom just like that, and so he stole the throne with no troubles. One day, he felt pretty and ordered his pet guards to locate a princess and kidnap her... one of them, whichever got in the way first. Zyra, who couldn't resist the side effects of the bubbly potion, surrendered to some orange coated guards and was taken to Gerald's palace, where they left her locked in a chamber. Our prince found out about this and went for the rescue. Now this is when you finnish the story.
I consider this set to be moderately easy and straightforward: lots of free running jumps enabled, nearly no backtracking, might require a tiny bit more than generally basic movement and timing, like one or two special tricks in places. Most levels can be finnished in 2-3 minutes with knolwedge, with or without secret potions. Some may be even much shorter, owing to more than one possible route or "non-linearity" to reach the exit door, which is a goal achieved given that some of my older levels would drag for no reason. If you're familiar with any of my mods (and enjoy them), then you should feel at home.
The story isn't actually shown in-game, because I can't be arsed to edit any graphics (sorry!). For now, have a look at these screenshots that don't really tell much:

Hope you enjoy your time! If you encounter any glaring issues, please report them here.
P.S. I would like to hold off on uploading to popot.org until there is a decisive final release, as I'd also like to write a tl;dr brief description for it. Unfortunately I'm not gonna have access to my computer until later next week so, in the meantime I'll be only checking comments if there are any.
