One of the better old eastern adventures in my book. Its got a lot of highs and a lot of lows, but overall the total package is quite solid. Probably more so if you're able to read the story, but I can't really comment on that. Difficulty wise, its important to note that the game starts fairly low and ramps up to about a 60. The final boss then spikes this up significantly (arguably a classic fangame style), resulting in its rating.
Production value wise, its roughly what you expect from an old carnival game. There's some interesting looking boss drawings and that's about all you get. Recolored default tiles, restart music and bosses full of nothing but cherries otherwise.
Platforming/stage wise, there's a lot of interesting aspects. The difficulty balance is a bit all over the place, but not in the way that's ever problematic (generally the outliers just happen to be weirdly free saves). There's a ton of changeups, which in a longer adventure game feels good. Even if you end up seeing the same tilesets over and over, the fact that it cycles through them with different gimmicks/styles and makes it feel like you're always going somewhere is very well done. Most of the traps are pretty meh, but there's a few interesting trigger movements and it doesn't really hurt the overall deal.
Boss wise, its also a mixed bag. There's some good variety (a general strength of this game) and that helps a lot. There's always some learning involved in how to deal with the various attacks, as there's a lot of overlapping stuff in this game (so be warned of that), both from multiple sources or just lingering attacks. The final boss is, as mentioned, a large difficulty spike and while a fairly good boss, will likely be a sizable chunk of your playtime. Its a bit of a grind as there's a lot of stuff to learn as you go and some annoying combinations/effects that slow down progress - still, its well known for good reason as there's a lot of interesting pieces to it.
As someone who isn't the biggest fan of much of Carnival's older work, this one does stand out as holding up well to this day. I'd recommend it if you don't mind low production and some balancing woes, as there's a ton of content and variety in the game.

This game doesn't mess around. The platforming is challenging for not being a needle game. The bosses on the other hand range from OK at best to down right fucking annoying and terrible at times. The production value for the most part is mediocre, and the final stage and final boss are a major pain in the ass because of their design. There are some interesting points, but this game just wasn't my cup of tea. There's a lot of people who like it though, so if you decide to play, proceed with caution and a clenched sphincter.

Very challenging game, but fun overall. The bosses and platforming are similar to I wanna be the crimson, since it was made by the same creator. There is only one part which i can only assume is a japanese puzzle where I had to ask for help on where to go. Fuck jazz hands demon.
