For: I Wanna Kill The Kamilia 3
Finally beat last week here are my full thoughts

Stage 1: Easy shit and pretty fun. Reminiscent of K2
Secret 1: Actually good but the last save gives you infinite jump and that makes the needle kinda stressful. Item (HP bar) is very worth
Boss 1: Reasonable difficulty and looks pretty cool

Stage 2: Good and fun really nothing to complain about here
Secret 2: Ok now this is pretty hard needle and I honestly thought secret 4 was easier so it's kind of weird that this is on stage 2 but I guess who cares, it's optional shit. Some annoying jumps but nothing too insane, also auto gun is kinda OP so it makes sense
Boss 2: TBH this boss kinda sucks but the dice roll thing is kinda cool even though it should probably be annoying. But it didn't take me that long

Stage 3: Now this stage is mostly fine and in line with the sort of difficulty curve you'd expect up until RZ...the first two saves of RZ suck badly and do not belong in stage 3 IMO. Guy Tower is also kind of hard especially the jump refresher save can be annoying to learn on a first playthrough, but it's the last screen so I can forgive that. Oh yeah and the one uhuhu spike save is pretty bad
Secret 3: Comparable to Secret 1, not that bad, although the item is pretty useless
Boss 3: Now this is the first actually hard boss I think. First part is not that bad and can be done consistently, but then you have to do the miku (rin?) part which is pretty much impossible to figure out on your own, and even if you follow a video you have to make sure you stand on like a specific pixel to line up the attacks correctly, though once you've got it down you can do it consistently easy. Then the last part has a final attack you can choke on but it's doable by just sightreading you don't have to memorize a strat or anything.

Stage 4: Stage 4 ramps up the difficulty immediately with the Sunspike screens having sphincters and diagonal drops and shit, then some not so hard screens, then the Excursion ball save which I think is horrible (even though it's not that hard if you go slow on the backtrack). Tempest is not that bad, then you have the Butterfly screen where it's an avoidance mixed with needle, and a drop gate at the end, which is bad, and hard of course. But then the 2 Hades screens I LOVED, best part of the game. Then dotkid is hard but it's dotkid so yeah, Black is easy, Maze you can just look at a video or picture and follow, then Emperor is eh but not too bad.
Secret 4: Didn't think it was that hard compared to how people talk about it, I guess they only mean TAS drop, but you can practice of course if you want in jtool or whatever, and I don't think it's that hard once you learn. My main problem with Secret 4 is not the actual secret but the portal to the secret in the Butterfly screen, which is really really hard.

Boss 4 (Devas):
Piano: Hardest boss in the main game imo. Way too hard. It's just pure rng avoidance which to be fair you can get good at it, but don't expect to get to slow part every time. And slow part is insane and too stressful, but then it just throws the curving part at you, which is bullshit and shouldn't exist. I'm thankful this ONLY took me 60 hours
Colonel: Fun boss but the platform part is way too stressful. Though if you take it slow it's doable every time.
Dotkid Miku: Too easy, maybe I got lucky at the end part, idk, but I think everyone agrees
Emperor Miku: This is the first boss in which I decided to use practice tool, mainly to learn Phase 4. Hard boss but not as hard as piano, and honestly reasonable difficulty. Final part is stressful but that's good

Next Stage (Influka): My favorite boss in the game. Song is awesome, the flashbacks to K2 are epic, and it just looks really cool. Only complaint maybe is the end has too much RNG.

Kamilia Area: Minesweeper is not that bad, if you just have a cheat pic open, similar to Maze screen. However simon says is on another level, basically requiring you to write shit down (unless you have genius-level memory) while also jumping, and moving your hand from notepad to mouse to input at the same time. I did this with notes app on my phone. Actually kind of insane and I've never seen a game before that had this level of IRL multitasking required. Oh and then there's a giant maze afterwards but I don't think you can actually die in it so it's easy.

LunarMagic Area: Probably worst boss in the game. Default Miku platform avoidance with bad RNG. At least it's not that hard.

Betty Area: The snow in the background obscures your vision and makes the platforming aids and also there's 2 instances of single jump diamond required which is stupid. Oh yeah and the snow on the platforms works like ice and is slippery, it's a bit janky but you get used to it. Not that bad though

Doruppi Area: My 2nd favorite boss or maybe even tied with Next Stage. Is mostly memorization avoidance but has some instances of RNG. Looks awesome and song is awesome. Again same problem with Next Stage though where the final part can have bad RNG.

Rukito Area: Very annoying triggers in the first screen. But then it all kind of blends together after that, until you get to Save 5, which is probably the hardest needle platforming in the main game. Mostly because you have to backtrack and do the one stupid drop jump twice. This didn't actually take me that long as I first tried the middle diagonal jump on the backtrack, otherwise it probably would've taken way longer. I can see people getting hardstuck on this easily if they don't try to change their setups on certain jumps to increase consistency. Overall fun area though.

Cyber Area: Second hardest boss in the game for me. Similar to piano where there's lots of RNG, and the final part is way too hard. But is definitely a fun boss. The part where the red circles come out (which can easily be impossible with bad RNG, because they're angled randomly) and onwards is very hard, and then the very final part is insane. You have to get lucky and make sure you don't jump when you don't have to.

Influka Area: Not sure if I can call this a boss but definitely worst part of the game, just a Gradius clone and it makes me mad because it's a completely different game and if I wanted to play a completely different game I wouldn't be playing fangames? Going outside the screen kills you and the hitbox is very ambiguous, and you need good RNG if you want to get 4 OPTION powerups which is kind of required though 3 is doable. Moon part can be unfair but then the double moon part is very hard unless you're lucky and get the sphere attack a lot, the other attacks are all hard in their own way. This part made me rage harder than anything in the entire game somehow.

M-Stage: Love the look of it, very good difficulty and fun-wise. You have to speedrun the saves although that helps build consistency. I can see people being annoyed by some of the saves though.

Kamilia (Final Boss): So the final boss....Phase 1 is obviously very easy, then Phase 2 is where it gets hard. Phase 2 can have bad RNG with many of the attacks, noticeably Aqua, Darkness, Rainbow, Insanity, and sometimes Earth and even Flame. Darkness is the worst attack, maybe I just never understood it and that's just me, I dunno. Phase 3 is easier but the nerves can really get you, plus it's long and there still is the possibility to get unlucky. It's probably third hardest boss for me, I'm glad I'm done with it.

OVERALL THOUGHTS: Great game and just so much stuff in it, such a step up from K2 in terms of difficulty and creativity, and it's really just amazing to have a game like this with so many different segments and bosses and to have the accomplishment and achievement of beating it actually mean something.



bonus stuff addendum (will add more if I ever finish hidden bosses/ex stage):

Koala Area: Similar to Doruppi, mostly memorization, not that hard and pretty fun.

RNG Crystal: Epic, love it, and as someone who can read Japanese seeing the different luck outcomes was cool to me, sort of like rare Pokemon cards or something idk.
Payment Crystal: The apple stems make it so much harder to backtrack to the left from the right but I was able to get the timing down and it didn't actually take that long.
Starter Crystal: Crystal where you have to do a downward plane and then get back out of the plane. I went back and got this after reaching M-Stage. With certain valign you can do downward plane pretty consistently (obviously using numpad cancel), but the valign is kind of rng because there's so many jumps you need to do to get to the jump. At least I think that's how it works lol. Well let's just say I got very lucky and this didn't take that long at all, even though I was prepared for it to take 10+ hours.
Emperor Crystal 1: Took like 13 hours just very bad and hard do not recommend. Not only do you have to do stupid backtracking that you can fuck up easily but you have to jump inside a double diamond to get the crystal and jump out.
Emperor Crystal 2: Easier than above but still kinda hard, basically have to do 2 saves in a row.
Rukito Crystal: Has an insanely hard jump that you have to do really specifically but once you got it down it doesn't take that long.
Cyber Crystal: I tried to get it but failed lol. This one is pretty unforgivable
M-Stage Crystal 2: Probably tied with first Emperor crystal for hardest crystal I've gotten in my playthrough. The save is already hard but the crystal basically adds DLC to the save and more semi-annoying jumps. Took 10 hours

For: Crimson Needle 2
I never finished floor 100 but IMO this game is extremely overrated and the difficulty spike around ~85 is way too sudden. then after that there's too many "oh there could be 2 saves here but we'll just remove one" consistency saves that aren't fun at all. I did get blue kid skin tho
