Galaxy is a large Adventure game that uses a non-linear format to deliver quite a special journey. It was fun for the most part, though it did have some rough edges as you'd expect from a fangame this old.
To start with the good, the format of the game is just great. As the name hints, the world is actually an entire galaxy, and you can select which planets to visit through the hub. After the first planet, you unlock quite a few to go to, thus opening up a lot of options early on. Planets are littered with stars and secrets to collect, and those secrets are actually really useful to the player as they give you abilities or items sometimes. The platforming of the stages is pretty varied and is usually built around a new item you receive at the start of each world. Most of the bosses are alright as well and are accompanied by an interesting level system that changes their attacks as they level up mid-fight. You can actually have a rematch with bosses as well, this time they'll start at Level 2 instead of 1, and will eventually reach their highest level of 3 to unleash their full power.
Now for the bad, I have two major complaints, and sadly they were enough to really knock down the game for me. The first involves the water used in the game, it's actually dreadful. Essentially it weighs you down a fuck ton, so you'll only go a tiny bit even with a full jump, thus meaning you'll be spamming jump for the entire stage it's used in. I found it to actually be extremely painful to get through physically and easily consider the water temple the worst stage. My other complaint involves the boss that you have to reflect bullets onto, it truly feels like one of the most unfair fights possible. One attack it has involves cherries coming from the sky that has a limited range of safe zone, the problem is that I've absolutely been walled by it before with no chance to reach a safe zone since it's all the way on the other side of the room. That boss also has a really quick plus sign of cherries it can shoot and demolish you immediately, which means you either have to prepare for it every attack change, have pretty fucking good reflexes, or just get insta-killed by it every single time. It was particularly annoying to see the final boss be given this attack as well.
Overall, I think Galaxy is definitely an impressive game for when it came out, and even still when considered in the current time; but I also think it is a victim of its age due to how vicious the water feels and some of the traps, alongside having one of my least favorite bosses ever. I think it's still a solid game and should probably be remade for modern times, but it's good enough, for now, to be worth playing.

This is a short needleventure game by Kyir that takes place in a presumed acid factory, which also happens to have sawblades for some reason. Most of the saves are pretty smooth and simple, though there are a few that stick out with a tiny bit higher difficulty. There is also a very short avoidance at the end followed by a final escape sequence. There also happens to be a hidden secret in the game, and what can I say, I appreciate Golden Sun.
Would recommend.

Genuinely one of the most eye demolishing needle games out there. It starts with some flashing white light happening in the opening saves, turns into some pitch black spotlight needle, and returns to that flashing white for a bit more. To accompany the visual challenge is a lot of mediocre needle, so together it made for a pretty unenjoyable time.
Wouldn't recommend it.
