same shit different day, yet somehow even worse than the original. the most uninteresting needle you will ever play and that's not an understatement. at the end it gets really, really bad. it's about 700 rooms long if you care

an unexpectedly amazing and fun heavy pattern avoidance by Eruna-chan. this game is one of my favorite avoidances to date and I had a bit of trouble figuring out just why. it has a lot going for it, and very little not going for it. I do believe that liking this game is quite subjective, as I feel a lot of people don't enjoy this sort of avoidance.
going into Compass, I expected little to no fun to be had. I had heard about Eruna-chan's sometimes poor balancing/general avoidance design, which greatly scared me at first. I expected a 10+ hour slog through the most annoying, unbalanced and just plainly unfun shit with a song that quickly gets annoying. turns out, the game is the exact opposite. despite being very learny and timing-dependent, it didn't take over 10 hours, it wasn't annoying, its balancing was fine and the song was very good. all of these attributes can be individually explored to a fairly deep degree - which I'm willing to do for the sake of this review
the avoidance is loaded front to end with very precise patterns that take time to learn. a lot of them plainly don't have clear visual cues and rely on basic muscle memory and some setups. there's no crazy inputs required other than a few 1fs I threw in because they were easier to do than whatever strat was intended. it's mechanically not very demanding in the raw tech sense, but requires very good kid control. this constitutes being able to rejump quickly after landing, making your way around the boss room efficiently, understanding jump heights, etc. these are all things that you should have a firm grasp of before trying to clear this avoidance. it's not a short avoidance either, you'll be doing a lot of these inputs time and time again until you perfect them. however, not the entire avoidance is pattern. there is still RNG - surprisingly hard RNG. mainly the slow circles before the last chorus which I just can't read for the life of me; and the fast circles that burst out when the color inverts around the middle of the avoidance. there is one particular RNG burst [sic] I really like that has a chance to be completely impossible if it gives you the wrong angle. this happens only maybe 1 in 15 times and usually isn't a run killer, as it's followed by one of the hardest patterns in the entire avoidance. said pattern is probably THE hardest pattern - i.e. the one where aimed cherries appear from the left, then burst in the center and you have to jump through them to the middle in order to survive. the final chorus is my favorite part, minus final. final is kinda stupid but I like the idea. I'm just atrocious at reading it. I think I'm also the only person who has ever died to the last possible frame. the fact this happened and I still gave the game a 9.8/10 should tell you how much fun I think it is
the balancing is fine, there's only two standout sections/attacks which I think are vastly harder than the rest. the aforementioned aimed pattern is the hardest one by far, as it depends on a whole ton of things before it and your general method of execution of previous patterns. last chorus is surprisingly consistent while containing some of the hardest patterns. the intro can get a bit boring since the buildup to the first chorus is kinda lame and not very interesting to read. you either get no cherries or way too many cherries. song is super fun, NayutalieN makes some super good, memorable and unique vocaloid music. I have no idea what correlation the name has with the song, but that isn't very important. I wouldn't really know what to think if the avoidance was called "I wanna Dance Robot Dance"
in short: a fantastic avoidance with some of the most fun patterns I've ever played coupled with a really good NayutalieN song
highly recommended!!

pretty fun uhuhu-like game - that is, if it can be called that. the visuals and needle are similar enough for this game to qualify as an 'uhuhu-like' in my eyes, so I'll go with that. there are some occasional jumps that are strangely harder than others but these are quite negligible and don't pose significant threats to the game's overall pacing or balancing. just about the most complex gameplay mechanic in here are some triggers
fun and simple stuff, as is expected with this genre of needle. recommended

Abducted has nothing short of the most fantastic and immersive atmosphere of any fangame ever created. this is a massive achievement in my eyes, as fangames don’t really ever have atmospheres like this one. similarly, it’s very hard to make something with a consistent but vague enough theme like what’s seen in this game
is the theme hell? or purgatory of some sort? it could be if the maker’s previous game (Neurosis) is taken into consideration. there’s some sort of overarching idea behind the theming of this game and I couldn’t really figure out what it is while playing. as I’ve previously said in my Neurosis review, the maker has to be just the right amount of insane to make stuff like he does. it’s very entertaining and interesting to see how dopamine innovates: filling his games with intricate details, secrets, and most of all bizarre but charming design decisions
the gameplay is pretty fun as well. it’s structured as a collectathon of sorts. there’s a bunch of areas (~12), all with a few items that are well-hidden enough to be appreciated. every area is unique and no two areas truly play the same. the needle, despite being at times basic, is very good. it doesn’t have pretty much any substantial gimmicks other than some water, a few vines, some triggers and one cherry section. there are also traps but they’re rare and hardly count as traps. there isn’t much else to it, it’s also at a nice difficulty that isn’t overbearing so you won’t find yourself getting stuck at any save. there is a lot of exploring to do, though, so be prepared for at least an hour (or more) of gameplay. this isn’t a bad thing, as replaying sections of the game isn’t anywhere near as boring as it sounds. I’d go as far as to say it greatly adds to the game
unexpectedly, after playing this game I’d now consider dopamine to be one of my favorite makers. I’d love to see more games in this style, even if they’re half as good or well-themed
blind play is highly recommended

rating based on EX
pretty boring trials game with not a lot of interesting jumps. there's a super annoying resize bug that inhibits you from playing on fullscreen. random engines have this and I have no idea what causes it. there are traps in this game as well, and they're usually placed in such a way to waste as much time as possible in case you die to them. base game isn't really notable or difficult per se, but EX is notable and more difficult. it's essentially just the same exact game but buffed in various ways. the save balance is all over the place and there's random hard shit at times. also the way you access extra is pretty dumb
