visually very pleasing and nice-looking easy adventure game. the game is quite short (see: Shortventure 2017). the game revolves around one main gimmick, that being that the numbers on your keyboard change your player size and physics. however, it's counter-intuitive that 1 corresponds to regular kid, 2 is small kid and 3 is big kid, when it should realistically be 1 for small kid, 2 for regular kid, 3 for big kid. this is a minor gripe and isn't that problematic, I just thought it was slightly puzzling. needle is alright and the bosses are alright, it's all quite reminiscent of RandomErik's style (which I quite enjoy)

charming, short trap/puzzle game leaning more on the puzzle side. the entire idea of the game is that you're what appears to be a mental patient trying to escape wherever you're being held. that's my interpretation at least, I don't know what else I'm meant to think. theming aside, it's an old game and it shows. not that this is a bad thing, I love when games look like this. old adventure aesthetics are very pleasant to me personally. the gameplay is just a bunch of buttons, traps and fake blocks of all sorts. it's entertaining to figure out and isn't too complicated except for the last room which took a bit of thinking

old, short Japanese trap game with some clever jokes and references. I may not get them all, as they're well outside of what I'm familiar with when it comes to humor, but they still bring me some amusement. my personal favorite is the corner screen. I wonder if anything actually happens if you do all the corners

an adventure game on the easier side with a focus on traps, gimmicks and puzzles. the bosses aren't anything too difficult - most of the difficulty comes from the platforming. the bosses are very charming and work in unique ways, often utilizing the gimmicks seen in that section of the game. everything's pretty straightforward and understandable. maybe not a true beginner game, but nothing is very difficult or complicated (including the puzzles)

a very standard adventure game with some basic gimmicks and simplistic design. the visuals are nice and sleek, giving the game a polished look. the pathing can be a bit confusing at times - I found myself accidentally replaying a particular stage due to a confusing screen transition. this isn't a problem of any sort really, I was just slightly confused. the game is very short and can be completed in one sitting

an easy and relatively straightforward adventure game with a few unique ideas that are explored well. the entire gimmick is that the kid is split into two - one that can double jump and one that shoot. these are mutually exclusive, meaning for most of the game the kid you control only has one of these powers. only at the end do they merge [sic] and form a kid that can do both. despite your abilities being inherently nerfed, the game makes use of this in interesting ways. my favorite way the game utilizes this was the first boss - utilizing both abilities to their fullest. most of the game is platforming and puzzle solving essentially. the puzzles are nothing too hard and the game is generally relaxing to play outside of a few traps that force you to move quickly

lower-quality yoyo 'short game' with some needle, some secrets and a somewhat underwhelming boss. there isn't a lot going on, but the platforming consists of corridor needle with no save blockers allowing you to save essentially anywhere. it stretches on for longer than usual and visually isn't anything too special
avoidance is notable in the sense that it uses spikes. now there are two (2) avoidances that I can name that use spikes as a primary bullet: 2006 and Aiwana 2 (this game)

fun ftfa-like on the easier side, proving it’s possible to make fun and interesting easy ftfa-like needle. this game is the most ftfa-like ftfa-like out there - it bears the most resemblance to the original and doesn’t stray far from the original ideas imposed in FTFA. notably, the game is very easy in terms of ftfa-likes. it’s one of the easiest games in the entire genre, but this doesn’t stop it from being one of the most fun ones out there. a lot of easier games in genres often dominated by hard games struggle to find their place in said genres due to their low difficulty. this game doesn’t. it perfectly emulates what most would imagine when they think of an easy ftfa-like. obviously, the game isn’t super easy - 66 isn’t childsplay, there are people who this game would be too hard for
despite the rather irritating engine inhibiting proper screen resizing, the game doesn’t have any particularly bad jumps which stick out to be extremely or unreasonably difficult for the difficulty it’s at. most jumps have some sort of leeway and aren’t a bunch of forced framecounts. screen 4 is likely my favorite, as it’s the hardest and goes ‘quite out there’ with the gameplay, allowing for some previously never before seen things in this game. the last jump is quite mean, but I managed to first try the entire left side of screen 4 (as in, everything past the long jump) and didn’t have any trouble with the screen. from what I can tell, it’s by far the hardest one - again, very similarly to FTFA
highly recommended, super fun!!

fun and difficult save with some intuitive and fairly simple jumps and a pleasant tileset that isn't too hard on the eyes. the game has built-in practice in the form of a difficulty select option, allowing you to easily swap between attempts and practice. every jump is pretty consistent and of similar difficulty, meaning you won't find yourself dying repeatedly to specific jumps. the align grab is pretty creative and I like the jump to get back, it's very satisfying
a fun, simple and well-made game for what it tries to be

strange and easy yoyo game with some bad needle and a weird boss. it has next to no cohesion and is very short. the entire game consists of a few screens of needle and one awkwardly made boss where you shoot cherries to make bigger cherries die eventually. seems like a worse version of other yoyo short games (i.e. Ethanol)
the game is also just called "aiwana"
