I don't know in what universe this game is good to you people. what are you seeing in this game that I don't. this is an abortion of an adventure game essentially. it has all the parts to an okay game but it's executed in such an unimaginably backwards and stupid way that it just all falls apart in the end. there are so many illogical, inconsistent or otherwise awful things in this game that I can't lay it all out in a concise and legible manner, so I'll just list out a ton of things.
exhibit A: Music
1.1 some songs loop properly, some don't
1.2 most songs restart on death
1.3 most songs are bitcrushed to all fuck and sound awful as a result
1.4 some songs are stolen from K2 and K3
exhibit B: Gameplay
2.1 various rooms are stolen; I suppose this is excusable if that's the whole idea. some games this game steals from are device, sunspike, destination (heavily), classic, etc.
2.2 there's a whole difficulty (easy) in which you can't even beat the game and get softlocked after the first four warps
2.3 plenty of awful traps, with two trap rooms which have reused layouts but with different traps; second one is much, much worse because of the forced double diamond you have to do that has a trap right after it. and then another one after that
2.4 entire crimson area is a joke and makes crimson look horrible
2.5 the game is filled with an insane amount of stupid and uncomfortable jumps for a <70 diff game. there's an excess of double diamonds, corners, inverts, sphincters, ledges, planes, rukito jumps and all of their imaginable variants
2.6 autoscroll area is very unfun; see chrisay's review as to why
2.7 the big kid boss is some of the least fun I've had in a long time
2.8 the worst idea for a final boss I've ever seen in my entire life. 9 deathless bossfights in a row, featuring minecraft dream for each one of them. mind you half of these require an absurd amount of mashing if you want to beat them in a reasonable amount of time. no fun was had in all of this, since it turns out - these are all buffed in some way! very exciting. every single boss can fuck you over in their own unique way - there's only one way to find out, just play the garbage for like an hour until you get lucky and beat it!
exhibit C: Design
3.1 every boss has the same shitty sprite that looks like minecraft dream
3.2 there is maybe 3 original sprites in this whole entire thing
3.3 a lot of stolen shit and/or stolen ideas that are implemented poorly (crimson stage, white stage, trap stage after it)
3.4 this game was made in 2019 and looks like a game made in 2011
it isn't all bad though, the orange area at the beginning was somewhat fun! it's a shame it's only a handful of screens.
not recommended at all

very good classic game with higher production value than both crimson and destination combined; except this one's story is somewhat interesting. gameplay is very fun and has a ton of clever traps that can be fun to dodge. the needle itself is quite fun and I can't really say that any screen was unfun or boring. bosses are pretty good, with the final boss being the only unfun part of the game.
difficulty balancing is good, final stage is (obviously) the hardest by far, and the game progressively gets harder as you go on (as it should). definitely one of the best carnival games by far.

somewhat easy hades-like, some interesting jumps but generally indistinguishable from the other hades-likes on df
