Well, this is og L, you know what to expect, yadayadayada, so I'm gonna just leave my personal experience here: This holds up very well, considering its age. The precision factor is just enough to force interesting jump heights and maneuvers, while remaining surprisingly comfortable. I can definitely get why this started a trend that expanded to a genre seeing that this has design that is good at its core rather than an attempt to make the hardest, most precise jumps imaginable. Definitely worth playing - and not just for the historical value - if you have cleared a few easier L games and decided that you like the genre.

The first L game and the one that gave the genre its name. It's a huge mixed bag. Some saves are fun, while some are really bad, and some saves are easy, while some are really difficult (Obvious mentions for the seventh and second to last saves, but I also found the last save to be harder than both for some reason). Most of the bad saves also happen to be the harder ones, which doesn't help a lot with this game's quality. Nice visuals, nice music, low death sound.
It's sorta of a classic, but probably not worth playing. It's not a good choice for an introductory L game, as the only challenging parts are the unfun ones, and it's not worth playing as a game to simply have fun with for the same reason: You'll most likely spend most of your time on the unfun parts. Wouldn't recommend.

I'm not going to rate this game, but this genre of needle games is one of the biggest cancers that infests the wiki.

L is the infamous progenitor of the L needle genre (although it is secretly predated by P). As such, it plays a very divisive role in fangame history, with a large contingent of people wishing this game had never existed. While it has certainly spawned some garbage, I think the genre has merit, as I find it very interesting to push fangame physics and precision to their utmost.
Of course, I'm not going to rate this game based on its impact, but rather the game itself. I think this game winds up being pretty fun, with some interesting jumps that explore some unique movements and various aspects of precision. The big downside is the hard saves, save 7 and the penultimate one. These are both the most time consuming saves, and the least enjoyable. Both relying on uncomfortable tiny jumps or frame perfect arrow presses. In each case, a super unfun meat grinder jump is followed up by other jumps that are just hard enough to make you repeat the bad jump several times. This is an unenjoyable paradigm, and since these saves last for a large portion of playtime, they leave a sour taste in your mouth about the game as a whole.
Overall, I would recommend this game for those with precision sympathies. It's interesting from a historical perspective, and a decent game in its own right.
