Trigger needle game that was much too hard for me to play at the moment but it seemed pretty fun from what I tried for a bit. Also got to shout out the opening segment of the game as well, it was incredibly atmospheric and a great hook to invite the player in.

The maker really cannot be stopped in their delivery of some of the best platforming that exists out there. This time there's a neat gimmick combination of having 2 separate worlds connected by triggers, as well as conveyor walls that can increase your momentum to shoot you up if you wait long enough. Added to this is some crazy production value as shown by the amazing cutscenes, as well as nice touches like a custom loading bar, cool visuals, and a Celeste-style golden berry for beating the game deathless. I'm more than positive this made Wolfiexe happy to open up and play, it's extremely creative and rightfully enjoyable. Also, we love sweater kid.

Absolutely recommended.

What a truly beautiful Christmas present to give to someone, both the aesthetics and the gameplay is incredibly unique and made for an enjoyable time, and I bet the recipient quite loved it. The game has neat gimmick needle in which you get candy canes that cause spikes to gain different effects, such as shooting a hot spike will allow you to stand on it temporarily or shooting a blue spike turns it into water. There are 3 floors to the building, and the first 2 really act as preparation for the top one which is a lot harder than the others. There's also presumably a bonus if you complete the game with a lot of extra candy canes, I'm not sure for certain how many you need left but it's more than one!

Would definitely recommend playing this, also the music system in this is absolutely genius and what we need more of.

For: I wanna Zap the Mas

Yet another fun little adventure game from Erik that focuses primarily on three gimmicks each with their own stage and a boss. I really thought they were all clever, and especially the final stage reminded me quite a bit of Zapmunk's work within Spook Jam, which is a really cool homage for Santa to bring to the table. The bosses are neat as well as make the gimmicks play in a bit, the last one is especially cool since it involves all three at the same time.

Would recommend playing this since it's a fun time that shouldn't take too long.

Really fun gimmick needle game on the easier side that leans towards the puzzle sphere of pathing design. There are multiple stages with a new gimmick in each, and the last stage starts combining them for a final gauntlet that wraps up nicely. I do think the green stage was a bit harder than the rest, and one of the tricks to the gimmick you have to use for the final screen of the game I never really understood functionally.

I think this is one of the best gimmick games we have on the site, and would highly recommend it to all.
