The platforming in this game peaks early with the first few stages and particularly the secrets. The maze could be fun if it didn't include that silly jump up into the screen transition, and after that it's just a series of progressively more generic and poorly balanced stages. Well, the final stage is actually pretty good, except for The One Save that's randomly super hard. Oh well. The thing is, you only play this game for the bosses, and they're gonna be the majority of your playtime anyway, so I don't hold the mediocre platforming against it too much.
The first three bosses are decent if unspectacular cherry bosses, followed by a fun little Ruka avoidance. Then there's the Heaventrap boss, which I didn't like much at all. It's the kind of boss that's easy most of the time till you get some awkward combination of attacks and it suddenly isn't. The fact that it takes a long time and the hard parts are at the end doesn't help.
But it's all about those last two bosses. These made up about 80% of my playtime, and I really enjoyed them! The Rin & Len avoidance has a pretty hype song, and some really fun attacks, especially the orange barrages for the choruses. I'm very much not a fan of the pretty precise pattern at the very end, but otherwise it's a good time. Everyone knows the final boss, and at 6 minutes it's quite the intimidating gauntlet. The attacks (almost) all follow a pattern of part targeted, part RNG, but they're all distinctly different variations on that core idea. It's a really solid boss that deserves to be as iconic as it is, and I'm glad to have finally experienced it.

If the game was only the last stage and the boss it was gonna be even a better game :)

Kinda enjoyable game. None of the stages are really great and there's plenty of traps that I didn't really enjoy. The final area was particularly annoying mostly because I disliked it's gimmicks (darkness, SMW fire).
The first few bosses are pretty standard and kinda easy. But the Devil Kid is definitely harder than anything before it, the last few hits aren't super luck based but you can get screwed by RNG. The second avoidance isn't really too hard.
I actually enjoyed the final boss a lot, even if you have to deal with music loop lag once and Yellow 2 is really unfair. I didn't have that much of a hard time with it which why I rated the game "low".
I honestly wouldn't recommend the game unless you're interested in the final boss.

amazing adventure game, rivaling the likes of all the greats such as Emperor, LoveTrap and Crimson. I won't do a detailed stage breakdown since I'm fairly sure someone's done it at some point. I think this game was intended to be played on hard, so I did exactly that. frankly the experience is still great and the game feels just the right difficulty. I'm not so sure about very hard, but I'll probably give that a shot too. a thing to note as well is that this game has one of my favorite avoidances (Len) and my absolute favorite boss in any fangame ever (the final boss). all the needle is extremely fun, all the bosses are simple and well-made. simply put, everything in this game is amazing and I find absolutely all of it to be top-notch
definitely my favorite fangame. absolutely fantastic, I greatly recommend you play this

Я почему то думал, что это будет гораздо хуже. Однако это весьма неплохо, вполне себе играбельно и даже как то креативненько что ли, для такой то древней игры. Однако финальный босс очень долгий и местами некоторыми атаками может частенько серьёзно закидать неприятным рандомом.
English:
For some reason I thought it would be much worse. However, this is very good, quite playable and even somehow creative, for such an ancient game. However, the final boss is very long and sometimes some attacks can often seriously throw an unpleasant random.

I think despite it's really old game, it's saves good for nowadays. Needle was mostly fun, save balance is like meh, but some segments was cool, secrets looking was decent. Bosses was highlight of the game, i like all of them and i think every boss is designed well, especially of course iconic final boss, but i enjoy other bosses with passion as well. Big Kid fight was quite RNG-dependented but still extremely fun and Len avoidance despite being long was interesting for learning blindly, bananas is great idea as substitution for apples (shame it's underused in fangames) and overall i have positive emotions from this fight (even with me dying to last pattern like billion times)
So, even now when standarts of good adventure game has progressed over the time, i still recommend this. I think the difficulty rating is slightly overrated, i didn't find final boss THAT insanely hard, but it's fine if you have other views on it
