I play fangames or stuff.
I try rating game compared to what they are trying to achieve rather than compared to fangames as a whole, and with knowledge of what you're getting into; If I rate a corridor needle game, I assume the person reading the review wants to play corridor needle, as if they don't they shouldn't bother playing it anyway. With that said, I tend to be very generous on needle ratings while being very skimpy on avoidances (although you likely won't see it as if I'd give it less than a 7 I just won't clear it instead).
with extremely rare exceptions, 9/10+ is reserved to games that have left deep emotional impact, while 10/10 is reserved for games I love unconditionally.
If I reviewed it and the review doesn't say otherwise, it's safe to assume I cleared it. I try adding my clears to df but I never really cared to keep track, so some might be missing.
don't expect diff ratings to be very accurate.

Very creative and very fun short barrage, giving a good array of attacks reading-wise, maintaining a very good pacing and balance throughout and being a great deal of fun to dodge in general. The song is also extremely good, and while production isn't extravagant it feels very clean and has a good tile choice. Would highly recommend as a mid-difficulty barrage, either as a chill clear for an experienced player or a good grind for those who want to climb the avoidance ladder.

I wanna be the RO is a lengthy gimmick needle game divided into 7 stages, mostly focused around a certain gimmick/theme, as well as a couple of bosses. While certainly Rukito-inspired in structure, the platforming itself is much different, with an extreme focus on trigger-based flow between saves and jumps that strive to pave themselves comfortably around the player rather than shape themselves into an unfamiliar, bizarre landscape.
As the stages are focused around their unique gimmicks, enjoyment of them would inevitably come down to how much you like the respective one. While half the stages are mundane, focusing on basic engine gimmicks such as water and falling blocks, and have all-around great platforming, the other half goes into the more esoteric. The second crystal had a gimmick that was frankly extremely awkward and unfun, as it lead to a lot of stuttering and waiting. The sixth had a gimmick that was fun in essence, but the platforming designed around it was pretty awkward, and the hitbox/visual indicator for it was unclear leading to some frustration. Conversely, the gimmick in the fourth crystal was extremely good, leading to some very creative pathing and maneuvers, although it could have been explained better.
The bosses are, at least for me, the highlight of the game. Despite being relatively simple in nature, they utilized attacks that were extremely satisfying to dodge and managed to involve the stage gimmick preceding them in an unobtrusive manner. Everything felt fair and everything felt fun, if quite a bit easier than the needle.
As for general notes, the trigger indicators that were also present in Wolfi's Hydrohomies stage were extreme helpful, and are something that I would like to see become the standard in trigger needle design, and hopefully developed even further to show the connections between triggers and triggered objects as well as better conveying the full behavior of the object. It is worth noting, though, that some spots had slightly misleading triggers that should have been ironed out in testing. In regards to other miscellaneous points, the song picks are great and on par with Wolfi's already-established audio catalogue, and visuals are simple yet pleasing, much in Rukito's spirit. Lastly, the game does have a few humoristic moments and secret eggs that I'm sure most everyone will appreciate, although sadly they're too few and far between (unless I missed a good amount) to really create a cheerful and lighthearted atmosphere in the face of some of the stage themes.
Overall this was great fun and while there's not a lot of outstandingly brilliant content in here, it is a very consistent and enjoyable experience overall which I'd happily recommend to nearly everyone.

Feels like a game from 2012. 2 screens of extremely generic easy needle. original visuals but non-restarting guyrock. too short to give in to the guilty pleasure of easy savespammy generic needle. only worth it as a +1 for clear list if you care about that.

Even wasp was struggling to keep up with enemy spawns sometimes, so don't even think of doing this without autofire. If you do use one, this is actually a very unique experience gameplay-wise, although you are bound to spam restart quite a bit which gets frustrating after a while. This is the type of sudoku I like to see: An interesting concept accompanied by execution that is so bad that you're bound to either cringe or laugh. Another masterpiece by jack world guy. Recommended so long as you have autofire, a good voice call to sharescreen the stupidity with, and good enough judgement to quit this once you stop having fun.
