While this is a good game, I must admit that as it went on, the needle became more and more uncomfortable, to the point where I was on the last couple screens for months because I would open the game and become irritated in just a few minutes of grinding. Nonetheless, the game is still well worth a play as it's Skulldude needle, something that makes it a minimum of pretty good.

For: I wanna stop crying myself to sleep
For: I wanna stop crying myself to sleep
On the day that my mom passed away, I knew that it was coming. The night before carried a peculiar air which I hope to never live through again, one of unexplainable fear and seemingly-illogical worry. Our dog, Belle, seemed to know it was coming, though, being especially worrisome to my mother, who was at the time sick with what we assumed to just be the flu or something. Maybe it was the flu, or maybe it was something worse, either way, it was enough to kill her.
My father woke me up telling me that she had been taken off in an ambulance and apparently he wasn't allowed to ride with them. I had only gotten a couple hours of sleep, so I wanted to just close my eyes again and sleep once more, but that was obviously not an option despite how badly I wanted it to be. We were driven to the hospital by one of my brother's friends, walked into the place and was directed into some small room, and soon the doctor came in and told us bluntly that she was dead. So, I walked out of the room, leaving behind my aunt crying into my father's arms, then went outside to call my best friend. I had to call her several times before she woke up as it was rather early in the morning, and before I could say what had happened, I broke down into tears without being able to tell her that my mother was dead.
I knew that she was going to die, but I was too afraid to say anything. It was obvious she was unwell, but I felt naïve, believing that I was blowing what was just a passing sickness way out of proportion. I was foolishly afraid of the moderate embarrassment of being wrong rather than just getting over such a silly fear and forcing my father to take her to the hospital. Because of this, I feel that I am in some way responsible for her death. That's not really true, of course, but that doesn't take away the guilt I will feel for the rest of my life.
Grief remains for all time, mortal wounds such as the death of a loved one will never wash away, and I will for the rest of my life regret the night that I was afraid of being wrong about my mother's death.
It's been a little over a year since she died, but what healing is there to show for it? I tried to give off a sense of strength outwardly, but it is simply not there in all reality. I have put my life on hold for a year because I do not have the will to move on, whether it's because I refuse to move on without her or because I am simply too worn out from this massive blow to my life, I do not really know. Perhaps my life will be no different a year from now, or maybe I'll stay this way until the day I die, feeling like static, unable to return to who I was before.
And should I not be okay now? Perhaps not okay, but shouldn't I be better than I was before? A year may not be significant in the grand scheme of things, but in my own life, a year is a few minutes in the few hours of this world that I have, and they are wasted away wallowing and allowing my self to stagnate, to wither and fade away, ruining the life that my mother sought so desperately to let flourish.
I wish that I could be better, that I could move past this and start the clock yet again. I have only so much time to live, and I want only to live in the time that I have, but grief freezes a life, and I do not have it in me to challenge something so monumental as grief.
All these thoughts and musings go through my head often. They are the whisperings of a part of myself which holds too much control over my life. Because you know what? Who gives a God damn that I've let a year go by with almost nothing to show for it? What part of life has made it such that I feel like I have spent too long mourning with nothing to show for it, too long crying without any end in sight? It is okay to cry, and it is okay to grieve. There is no limit to how long we may spend moaning about our hurts because that is the very way that we move past them.
I Wanna Stop Crying Myself to Sleep is a game which recognizes this one fact and tells us at every moment which pain seeps in that it is ok to cry, that this shall pass and that we are allowed to hurt. From beginning to end, Chyeri's masterpiece lulls us to sleep and allows our tears to dry happily on our cheeks, having been heard and allowed to flow - and what a more perfect time for this game to release, so early into what many would call one of the worst years of their lives? I know that I have seen none worse than this.
Everything falls into place in Crying, every aspect of it comes together to create this therapeutic image, from the plunge into sleep in the first stage, with the peaceful and meditative music playing in the background as the moonlight guides your way through the effortlessly perfect level, to the rousing lullaby that plays you off to the end in one of the most beautiful moments I have ever had the pleasure of experiencing. I need not comment further on the astonishing quality of gameplay as it is a well known fact, as it should be, but it is necessary to note that this is not perfect gameplay for the sake of it. Many makers create simply with the intent of making good games, and that is quite alright. Some of my favorite games have this air of "I just wanted to make something good." Crying, however, is one of the rare pieces of brilliance that steps beyond that and decides to say something with their game.
It is so easy to speak your message in a movie, song, show, or what have you. Hell, even video games don't have much difficulty in imparting their theses on life. Fangames, however, are in a bit of an odd situation. They operate on a mostly silent level, being one of the most pure examples of mechanics-driven gameplay ever. Some fangames attempt to tell a story, but most are simply a series of platforming screens that may or may not feel connected to each other. Some of these fangames, however, are able to say something without a word of dialogue, some makers are able to send a message through these silly screens covered in spikes and what have you. Chyeri was able to tell me that it is okay to cry simply through their choice of music, visuals, and the very way that they designed their needle. Despite how difficult this game is, I rarely felt angry or like I was stuck on anything. In fact, in nearly every case, I was happy to be stuck on a save because Crying's gameplay is like sweet words of encouragement which puts my soul at rest - at least, for the time being. Obviously I will hurt in the future, perhaps more so than I do now, but it is okay. Let your pain gnaw away at your soul, let yourself suffer the slings and arrows of outrageous fortune and be, because you will never move past your grief without letting yourself feel it.

For: Panasonic Bluray
For: Panasonic Bluray
Panasonic Bluray is the latest in KittyGame's rise to fame, their latest solo game since... CRT Needle! Though I cannot speak for the quality of that game, I can certainly speak to the quality of this one. This classic in the making hearkens back to the times of those old, charming 100 floor games of the past and reimagines the tried-and-true with the something-new. Combining humor with a unique spin on the classic design of old and some of the most gorgeous visuals I have ever seen makes Panasonic Bluray a game to remember.
There are 80 floors to traverse, every 10th floor naturally being a boss fight. Aside from those boss fights, it's all needle, baby - gimmick needle, in most cases. Though there are a couple cases of known gimmicks, most everything is totally new to me, though perhaps not put to as much use as I'd like. Of course, given the length of each floor and the amount of floors per stage, that's an understandable issue that sort of just comes with the territory. Nonetheless, every gimmick is fleshed out well enough that I never felt as if any one gimmick didn't really earn its keep. Instead, each floor is memorable and enjoyable thanks to their given gimmick - aside from one.
Floors 51-59 I found to be the lowest point of the game (I'd also include floor 60 here, but it's to be nerfed) thanks to a foolish design choice concerning low-gravity. When you design with low-gravity, the most pleasant way to do so is to utilize the increased reach of jumps - or, that's what I prefer, at any rate. What I don't prefer is forcing awkward low jumps that are further aggravated by this low-gravity. This quirk of these floors made for an especially irritating time that was worsened by the fact that it came out of nowhere. While the previous stage was certainly an increase in difficulty, it was nothing compared to the low-grav limbo. There are screens without low-gravity, but I found these to be irritating as well thanks to the choice of cramped design. This stage stands out as the abrupt difficulty spike that throws the difficulty curve all to hell, with nothing beyond giving me as much trouble as this stage did.
Now then, that's all I have to say in the negative. If you'll excuse me, I'd like to return to the positive once more.
The story is short and sweet, funny and care-free, memorable and comforting, and other such couplets of adjectives. It takes itself serious despite the few jokes here and there (as well as references), but otherwise the game plays it straight whilst still knowing its having a laugh. I was reminded quite a bit of I Wanna Save My Boy, though that game knocks the humor up several notches and refuses to ever take itself seriously, something to its detriment. Not so, here. The closing words between you and THEM are humorous and warm, making the journey overall mean far more than if it just ended with some throwaway joke.
Despite being the first thing I mentioned, the last thing I'd like to discuss are the bosses - and that's more or less how I feel about them. While they're all fairly pleasant, they're nothing to write home about. I would call them all great, but they are merely the breaks between what makes up the meat of the game. There are two exceptions: Floor 60, and the final boss. Again, I won't discuss Floor 60, but I'll have you know I was quite irritated with it, quite! Anyways, the final boss is KittyGame's best attempt at a boss. It's a fairly easy battle, but I found it to be a lot of fun despite its relative simplicity. The visual flair combined with the well-designed attacks make this a memorable send-off for the memorable gameplay of Panasonic Bluray
It's only been out a few hours, but seemingly everyone has given this game a go by now. If you're not apart of everyone, then I suggest you take a look at KittyGame's finest game yet. It's short and sweet, and though there are a couple bumps along the way, they're not enough to ruin what is one excellent ride.

For: Downer
For: Downer
This is a decent two-stage needle game that continues to develop wifie's enjoyable but sometimes semi-generic needle style that can become a bit too boring on its own. I want to see more experimentation with this solid design to back it up, maybe some gimmicks or more novel design choices? Anyways, this is still a good game that is well worth giving a go.

For: Hydrohomies
For: Hydrohomies
How does one begin to describe perfection in any meaningful way? How can I come up with some series of words which can somehow impart to you, the reader, just how phenomenal a given game is? "Hydrohomies is perfect. It is without flaw. It is an impeccable masterpiece put together by some of the greatest fangame developers our community has ever known. There is not a hint of a possibility of a theoretical flaw to be found throughout anyone's levels. Every single moment is filled to the brim with excellence, every aspect of this game operates at the highest level. There is not a damn thing wrong with Hydrohomies." This, of course, is repetitive and a bit overly-effusive; furthermore, Hydrohomies is obviously not perfect, not because there has to be some flaw thanks to any given creator, but because flawless products simply cannot exist - at least, not for everyone. This, however, is one of the closest attempts at perfection this community has ever seen.
Hydrohomies is as perfect as it can be, managing to make any given flaw (as few as there are, anyways) seem insignificant and not worth noting, whether this comes down to technical errors or a slight fall in gameplay quality. To the former, they do exist, though I imagine they'll not be doing so for long. and the latter simply comes down to preference. For my part, this is a flawless game. Despite being centered on one critical component, each stage manages to breathe life into what some may think of as a tired gimmick - catharsis water. There's the wilder takes on the concept such as in geo's spectacular stage which I imagine will stand out as the most divisive of each stage, though perhaps not as divisive as his famed Dew-based game. Then you have the more "by-the-numbers," stages, such as wolfie's take on catharsis water, this take perhaps being Wolfie's finest hour yet. Every stage, however, puts its own little twist on the gimmick, so you're certain to find something you like.
Everyone deserves major props for what they put forth in Hydrohomies, but I think the most surprising of the bunch has to be Zurai's stage. Zurai, despite being the least experienced maker here in terms of output, manages to stand just as tall as the greats like Stonk or Wolfie with some truly inventive design which manages to combine this classic feel with a sense of modernity.
Hydrohomies starts off the year amazingly, being one of the best collabs ever made - and it only took four weeks to make!
(1/22/2021: I look back on this as being a bit too positive. I recognize now that there are some problems, mainly to do with the general lack of focus on catharsis water, realistically. While Geo and Gwiz do excellently with the gimmick, the rest more or less design typical catharsis water needle, though they do so to perfection. As such, I won't say that anything I say here is an outright lie, just that it was a case of me sort of jumping the gun and wanting to lavish praises on something I like a lot - and what's wrong with that? Despite saying this, I still believe this is a superb game, even if it's not quite as perfect as I stressed it to be.)
(I realized recently that I basically don't remember a thing about this game now and I feel no inclination towards replaying it, so here we are. It was very, very good, but nowhere near as much as I personally hyped it up to be.)
