For: How I See World In Desaturated Colors
How I See World In Desaturated Colors is impressive in two different fronts. The first is managing to do a fangame revolving around easy platforming that doesn't feel excruciatingly boring to play through. The second one is managing to paint an abstract story that manages to make you empathize with it without ever saying anything explicitly.

This game is never too demanding of the player. The difficulty is consistent, and the saves are plentiful. Too plentiful at times if you are playing on Medium, but it's nothing that detracts from the game heavily.
And even though fangame platforming is hard to make work at low difficulties, and despite how lengthy the three stages of this game are, the game still manages to hold your attention! A combination of an excellent atmosphere and a good handle on how to keep screens varied carry the bulk of that weight. At some point the game splits into two paths for a couple of screens for no apparent reason, which might seem odd, but it actually helps a lot with keeping the stage intriguing.

Even though the narration is brief, the themes of the game permeate the whole experience. From beginning to end, every design decision, from the aesthetics to even the gimmicks used, can be interpreted to relate to the game's story. The game gives you a lot to think about without even giving any clear answer, and after clearing it, I played through it again just because I wanted to catch onto more things that I might have missed along the way.

All in all, short and sweet. Would love to see more from this maker!

A single screen of corridor needle. The jumps are not too hard, so it's reasonable to breeze through the screen. The hardest jump in the game is a 9 jump required to get into the difficulty select warp. The last save of the game is pretty nice, actually stringing together multiple jumps, resulting in a pretty satisfying maneuver.

The song is pretty catchy too! But aside from that, nothing interesting about this game.

So the game is really not that much. A single screen that seems like the cut intro to the rest of the stage before being warped into the clear room. The clear room itself is pretty good, the black tree on a dark blue background gives it an eerie, intriguing atmosphere.

But even despite how nothing this game is, there is still one quirk that makes it interesting! The game skips the file select screen and jumps straight into gameplay when you press Shift on the title screen. It also autosaves you once you go into the Clear screen.
So when you beat the game once, that's it! You are trapped in the dark tree dimension, and can never go back to the green screen with the diagonal.
For how simple the clear screen is, being trapped in there elevates it from "Serviceable" to "Legitimately Interesting".

Flawed but interesting!

A short, single stage-long game with focus on Celeste mechanics. You have air-dashing and wall-jumping. They interact really smartly with the kid's default move set. Instead of using a separate charge, dashing uses up your double-jump, making you have to consider which one of the two to use, but you can keep it by wall-jumping off walls. This allows the move set a lot of creativity in traversing through screens and even allows playing with momentum, which is always a great inclusion.
There are also a bunch of gimmicks imported from Celeste, like the dream blocks and the moving platforms. Both work as well as the originals, with the fun bonus of the controllable moving platforms feeling reminiscent of Kill the Guy's blue bullet bills.

As good as the groundwork is, though, the game suffers from a lot of flaws. With how ambitious the new move set is, it feels very janky at times. The only requirement for doing a wall jump is to be touching a wall (even if you are grounded yourself!), which will sometimes make you careen backwards straight into a spike when you didn't mean to. The momentum of dashes and wall-jumps feels unwieldy and hard to get a handle of, and sometimes up-diagonal dashes last more or less time without much consistency to it.

If the platforming were more lax, that wouldn't be much of a problem, but the other issue is how overly precise this game gets. Despite how momentum-heavy this game wants to be, it's plagued by gates and diagonals and tight maneuvers that have to be done while zipping all over the place, which can make for some really frustrating situations. And even worse is that most of the time the hardest part of a save is just a normal, tough, named jump, making it so most of the time you aren't interacting with what makes this game unique. There are a lot of end-of-save choke-gates and even a water diagonal for good measure.

To add to that, the levels get too long for how precise they are on the second half of the game. The fun drops off dramatically when you start going through the trade-marketed Celeste "Press multiple switches" levels, which, while the first one is cute, they quickly become tedious to get through, plagued with too many precise jumps that end up feeling like a chore to get through. Putting four multiple switch levels in a row makes it feel like mush very quickly.

All in all, even despite the controls feeling a bit janky and the levels being too precise for what this game tries to be, it still was a really interesting time! With a bit more polish and more open, fitting level design to the controls, this could really shine.

Honestly, the game kinda feels like how a nuclear blast would, and I find it really cool. Still thinking about this game a whole year after originally playing it.
