Oh man, what a mess of a game. KAS winds up being hilarious due to how absurd some of the design choices are. The majority of the game is generic traps and diagonal spam, but there's also lots of random fake blocks, hidden paths, and other incredible decisions. There's even a single spike you have to shoot randomly in the middle of the game. There are bosses without saves in front of them, long sections of nothing, and tons of forced waiting for bad cycles or slowly moving traps.
It's not just the platforming, either. The music is really distorted and super loud, which really seems harder to accomplish than just copy pasting a music file, since it's all familiar songs anyway. The bosses are all the exact same, something moving up and down while shooting aimed attacks at you. They just vary in how much health they have, with the final boss having an ungodly amount. The most unique boss is shrinking dracula, who moves back and forth and shoots a really fast aimed projectile at you. Oh yeah, after that boss you have to fight another boss with no save.
There was an extra, but from the first screen it looked like generic needle that continued the diagonal spam but started throwing in corners. So I didn't do it.
Overall, I would recommend this game to the sudoku-inclined. It's really fun to see what further travesties the game commits. It's quite long, taking me over an hour despite being pretty easy, so there's plenty to enjoy.

unironically one of my favorite fangames, i didnt know it was possible to make something this funny, rating includes EX
game is objectively terrible but the design choices in this game make it a perfect joke game, especially since its hard at times to tell whether its even on purpose, i'd genuinely rate the game an 8/10 if it wasnt for some bosses being very annoying without autofire, and some of the later saves mostly just being ceiling diamond and diagonal spam. my favorite boss is 100% dracula.

Review includes extra!
The needle is generic and very questionably designed, and the bosses are awful, but I found the game to be quite funny because of all of these random traps and stupid design choices. I played this game with 3 friends so we had a pretty good time laughing at some of the stupid traps, such as a block just randomly being a kill block with no indication at all.
When we finished the game and saw the first EX screen, we thought it would be quite tough, and while the first and third screens are tricky, the second one is insanely free, and those 3 are the only EX screens.
I feel like this game is just a slightly better version of I just wanna play the needle game, especially when playing with friends. If you have some and you're looking for a random sudoku game to play, this isn't a horrible choice.

Read Jopagu's review, but the EX isn't that bad, there's 2 corners total, 3 real ledge jumps and a ton of gates, but its not any harder than anything in the normal game. Despite how bad it was, some of the traps are genuinely genius and the bounce blocks are amazing despite being in only 2 screens. 1 random kill block in the later half of the game also makes for a good laugh when playing with friends. This makes it a great candidate if you have time and friends to kill.

If you're the sort of person who enjoys sudoku games and interesting bad stuff in general this might be worth playing. It's true that all of the platforming is just generic gate diagonal spike trap spam, but the design decisions throughout this game are truly nonsensical. I strongly encourage you to ask yourself "Why did the maker put this here" with every new room as you play this game, you will almost certainly be completely unable to come up with an answer but have fun thinking about it anyway. Despite the fact that it's not very good I don't think it ever becomes very tedious and unfun to play, because this is a very easy game (in my opinion the hardest save is just the one with like eight diagonals).
