An older adventure style game that really still holds up. Possibly the best example of simple but good around. Tilesets are simple and static, bosses are almost all fruit and most assets are straight out of the engine.
However, it implements a number of interesting gimmicks, giving each stage an identity and despite being incredibly simplistic, the bosses all play very different from one another. You're not going to be visually wowed and the restarting music is kind of a drag, but the gameplay here is mostly solid. The backtracking/repeating does get a bit tedious at times, but it levels out as the game goes on nicely. Another concern is that the difficult labeling is somewhat misleading compared to other fangames and just in general and its probably recommended to do easy/normal for a first playthrough. I ended up selecting normal/normal and while its certainly not a huge problem, the save removal approach to difficulty ends up being questionable as usual and some segments were kind of a mess.
Overall if you like adventure games and don't care about eye candy, its absolutely worth playing. There's a lot of inspiration to be had here for makers as the variety is superb but it feels like a little more could be done with many parts of it. Absolutely recommended for anyone who likes a mellow adventure game.

A notorious romp through RNGville, it has a good balance of creativity to counter its outright stupidity that makes it fairly fun and entertaining whilst still being objectively bad. Expect spikes that fly at you fast and in usual ways.
This is a classic of the intentionally bad style for a reason, as it stands out in a few ways. Even with the RNG reliance, it is not an easy game and should not be attempted by newer players under any circumstances and it will just seem frustrating and stupid (especially the third screen which even ignoring RNG factors requires some solid confidence with a long save of needle), but if you're a bit more experienced and looking for a timesink where things make no sense, feel free to take a look.

A pretty challenging needle game built around the standard air-time engine gimmicks of vines, platforms and water.
Choc full of creative jumps, this is a pretty interesting needle game to go through. This generally just feels like very creative jtool needle though. Nothing present in the game is anything you'd see outside of jtool, and a ton of jumps felt like they had very specific ways of being done that aren't necessarily that obvious but would be found quickly with a little trial and error easily executed in jtool but not necessarily in game. Also, while this isn't a bad thing, every screen/stage is pretty much the same in terms of design and difficulty, making it feel like there's no distinction and its just a collection of individual screens.
Overall its quite fun, tons of high airtime moves and interesting combos but somewhat brought down by what feels like an unnecessary adherence to grid in some cases, making certain jumps really tedious to perform which unfortunately brought it down a bit. It felt like sometimes this was justified by making it the first jump in a save, but generally felt like meatgrinders rather than anything else. Still, recommended if you like tougher standard engine gimmick needle as I enjoyed this outside of a small number of segments despite it feeling a bit above my skill level.

Technically died in the last 2 seconds of the game but that's okay. Its an interesting adventure game based around jumping gimmicks, featuring an infinite jump, a low grav and a VVVVVV stage primarily.
It shows some serious production value from time to time, though its inconsistent. The standard level is reasonable though.
The stage design is all over the place, quickly bouncing from free to painfully terrible. Still, the majority of it was fun and the bosses were kind of interesting.
The final boss is a bit of a difficulty spike, not because its that hard but its fairly learny and incredibly long, following off with an actually difficult RNG phase. Its playable, though not amazing by any means.

A quick little adventure/gimmick game of variable quality. Contains 3 short stages with varying gimmicks that were... okay followed by a boss.
The gimmicks were reasonable interesting though implemented somewhat poorly, with incredibly bad cycles throughout and a huge difficulty spike on the final stage. The boss has some interesting attacks but the visuals are awkward and damaging the boss is incredibly slow and tedious.
Still, its okay for its age and alright for a quickie adventure game.
