I've cleared this a few months ago and wanted to write an review of this but never did, so here I go.

The visuals are great, I'd give it that. It almost like some sort of drug trip, kinda the point since the story is about The Kid that goes to a fever dream or something like that. That's pretty much the only positives I have about this game.

I found the platforming to be very weird at times and sometimes I got through screens and thought to myself that this isn't the intended route. The needle either switches to huge emptiness with little to no spikes or cramped rooms with mini blocks added to make it look more appealing. The bosses were okay to a degree, except the huge red spike and the rabbit which were just not fun. They nearly all use some variant of an attack where a bunch of bullets close to eachother which are aimed at you along with other attacks that move real slow or real fast. The final boss wants really you to be cautious which isn't a bad thing, but combined with the non-boss attack random objects that it throws at you and the giant red laser made it more of a chore than anything else. The gimmicks that appear in this game are really cool but sometimes made in a way that only shows up for like one or two screens or uninteresting ways.

I know people might bash me on this, but for me Genki is nothing but the word overrated. The platforming is weird, the bosses are subpar and the gimmicks feel misused and it all came down to a game that left me with a sour taste in my mouth.

Great game with lots of originality, both in the gimmicks and graphics. It takes you on a cool adventure through interesting worlds filled with bizarre enemies and obstacles. It's got really nice music that fits the stages well and lots of fun bosses. Some of the boss fights are quite a bit easier than others, but they're fair and satisfying to play, aside from the rabbit which I didn't like much. Would recommend Hard mode to intermediate players or beginners looking to challenge themselves.

This game is really weird. There is a ton here and the game has such a distinctive personality that it really stands out. It follows the traditional adventure game hub->stage->boss formula and each stage manages to have such personality that they're all memorable.

Its far from flawless; there are a ton of individually bad sections and really questionable production levels but it gets incorporated in such a way that it becomes part of the charm of the game and the overall flow, variety and design makes it enjoyable the whole way through.

Highly recommended for anyone who likes adventure/gimmicky games as there's a ton of creative stuff here and the difficulty is accessible to everyone.

Additional note: If you're trying to play the game and having issues, check out Pat's fix in http://iwannacommunity.com/forum/index.php?topic=2308.0 - huge props to him for keeping this game available with this.

Amazing. Very surreal. Not hard, but enough challenge to keep it interesting. Great very unique tiles and sprites, interesting gimmicks.

It's all so _weird_. Go play it.

This game is really fun with some wacky sprites and gimmicks. It's pretty long too. Some of the gimmicks are pretty annoying, even so, this is definitely something everyone needs to experience.
