every game i've left a rating or review on i have cleared.
clear list is only used for monumental or impactful clears, or my favourite clears.
(My favourite games tab is different to my clears tab).
I don't tend to give rating or difficulty values anymore, since it's meaningless and was demotivating to be placed alongside people who didn't play through the game, or can't tell the difference between a problem with the game or themselves.

Playing this is like jumping off a cliff into fire to show other people that jumping off a cliff into fire is a bad idea.
You can get the general gist of this game from a single screenshot of the 1 save this game has to offer, but somehow there's even more nuance that detracts from the already unpleasant experience. First of all, the obvious, visuals are nonexistant, every single jump in this game is a named jump, and almost all of them aren't used in interesting ways, and the game uses an unreliable niche engine.
It gets worse though, for example on the left side you have to do a bad align corner, it's one or the other depending on what align you take but it's required to do so, which is not fun as neither jumps are simple corners. The super f's are fine, but the ledges and inverts at the top left aren't. These jumps are feel really bad to pull off, especially the first invert, and basically act as a consistency wall for most of the time, and it's also impossible to have good align for all these ledges. This left side also just has a lot of 5fs, not all are required (as you can 4f the inverts and survive, i did when clearing) but it's not really a lot of variance. The jump to the double invert is surprisingly easy to mess up and feels terrible when you do so, and the double invert can just be jumped over, which i don't think the creator noticed, although you have to regrab another ledge at a pretty high vspeed which is extremely inconsistent, especially this deep into the save.
Then it's the downwards planes. My god. It's so beautiful. Luckily, 5 out of 7 downwards planes can be made substantially easier by some setups resulting in hold left strats. But not all of them, as the 2 worst align downplanes require the player to just do them raw, with the worst align aswell. These setups are valign dependent, meaning this game had to have some pretty hefty valign strats for it to even be reasonably cleared, which in reality aren't *too* difficult, but it depends on your ability to tell apart a 1+1 to a 1+2 cancel in the moment for the raw downwards planes, and then act accordingly, and it's pretty easy to misread. It's also not perfect, even if played properly there's a ~10% chance that the valign setups that run on hopes and dreams don't work out, as you can't see your valign in game and even the best strats aren't perfect. After this is the upwards planes, which are also extremely easy to die to after everything. Then it's just another setup downwards plane with a 92% chance of working. Even though the bottom right looks to be absurdly difficult on first glance it's certainly the easiest section but it's also somewhat gambling, it's way more likely that you will be in the right valign range than not but it's nasty having something like this so deep, and the non-setup downwards planes with the worst align are extremely rough to say at the least.
I mentioned at the start of this review that this game has a 'niche engine', it's using Sephalos's engine. It's overall fine, but it does have some slight differences i noticed. While it does have some form of 1f directional key fix, it's inconsistent, and restarting sometimes requires 2 presses, i noticed a slight difference with vspeed on the middle jump resulting in the ledge grab on the right being a bit tighter, alongside this the game doesn't have double dance which killed off a theorized valign strat for the downwards planes (rip my beloved) and worst of all- the game is stuck with #1 priority, you can't minimize it at all, nothing can go above the game, it's basically stuck there on the screen unless you close it. The game also has guyrock.mp3 as the background music but the engine lets you mute it.
You don't need this review to say not to play this since you weren't going to anyways.

For: Annihilate.
For: Annihilate.
Rating based on extra clear.
Quality rating for a normal clear would be ~7.5 \ 10.
I have an illogical attachment to the final save of extra, and basically this game as a whole. My rating for extra would be 10 \ 10 but realistically it isn't all that good.
This game has a good few saves that are quite a lot easier than the main few, notably saves 4 & 7 of the main game contain almost all the challenge. Extra first save is quite easy, and then the 2nd save is extremely difficult. The final save of extra is on a whole different level.

Rating based on clearing all content.
Normal clear would be ~82 difficulty.
Highly recommend if interested in this kind of needle for both the normal clear & all clear.
This is an incredible fangame in both visuals and needle. It's currently some of my favourite setup needle that I have ever played, and it consistently throws extremely well-designed jumps at you, to where i'd even go as far to say that considerably more jumps in this entire game are interesting, fun, and generally really good than even mediocre jumps. It's really great. The game starts out with a really interesting and somewhat 'intimidating\scary' atmosphere, pair this with needle that looks extremely unforgiving and it makes for a really cool experience. I really love the visuals of the main game, i love the 'decaying' blocks, and the background & bgm fit quite well too. I'm unsure if the kid sprite was made for this game or is being repurposed from a prior fangame, but nevertheless i quite like it, it's easy to tell your location mid jump and it's very visible and I like how it looks. The needle is more experimental in the main game while the extra content is more 32px restrictive and 'ftfa-like', I think both ended out being incredible. The main game has a few screens that are less dense, such as screen 3 & 4 while the first 2 screens are a bit more claustrophobic. Screen 3 also has some very mild water usage but it's cool nevertheless. Some jumps in these screens are really cool, it would honestly take up too much space to list all the great jumps this game has as there's just so many, a lot use tight valign ranges or just generally feel really good visually and to perform, etc. Overall the main game stands up really well too, It's already some of the best setup needle i've played. Extra is also incredibly good, somewhat similar praises but it's worth mentioning some extra saves have an abundance of jumps that require frame-perfect long jumpheights, usually with valign ranges or whatnot aswell. Some of these jumps are really creative & feel quite good to improve at. Save balance is pretty good aswell, throughout the extra I didn't particularly find any singular save to be considerably harder than the others (and the base game also is well-balanced). Visuals for the extra are also pretty cool aswell. There's not much else to say, this game is basically perfect for what it is. It's really atmospheric and enticing to play, feels great, jumps are interesting, extremely fun for it's difficulty & I strongly recommend this to anyone interested in this kind of needle.

For: Vaisravana
Studio port \ remake of Tarwil's IWM map.
Visual overhaul done, and needle kept the same.
Normal difficulty has a save per screen, and Horangi only has one save at the start. Difficulty rating based off clearing on Normal difficulty, Horangi clear would be ~88?
p.s
i am the creator of this, not sure why delfruit doesn't recognize me as such

with proper strats the final save isn't anything too crazy. (Keep align 0 for drop leehe, low valign for ex15)
some props to the prefinal save, the 9f plane thing is somewhat interesting, and overall the game wasn't actually that terrible to play. There is delay problems with the gm8 engine used, and it is restarting guyrock and engine defaults.
