Fangame Clear #10
Really unsure about this one.
The beginning was just simply boring outside of the few "swag routes" you could do, and there's really nothing interesting until the 60s where stuff starts becoming hard enough to actually die. The 70s just kinda spammed breakable blocks which was, not exactly the best. The 80 boss just felt like pure rng for very little reason, even though it most certainly isn't. It just, is very basic in a not-so-good way.
The 80 floors are not very good either, the difficulty kind of just goes all over the place, certain screens being the hardest things in the game by a substantial amount, and others being freebies. The 90s were painfully average.
The final boss is just not good at all. Every attempt is essentially a waiting game for a full minute while you wait until the first phase is done, and then you have to learn the entire rest past that, which means every time you learn something new, you must wait a full minute through boring, bland, and dragging gameplay.
Overall, I really don't find this game to be quite what it's chalked up to be. I find it very boring throughout most of its runtime.

So this is the first fangame I actually finished (after having tried Boshy and K2 and ..yeah). It didn't take long, since this game is so ridiculously well designed in terms of difficulty curve. There were only a few rooms that stood out in terms of being too hard or too easy for their area, but overall I really enjoyed this. All the bosses are kinda just there, they're all pretty free once you figure out what they do. Has some replay value since it's short enough to speedrun and it has some needle-ish shortcuts in the first few stages for experienced players (aka not me).

Probably my favorite fangame that I have cleared so far. Great for new or intermediate players. Manages to make things interesting without being ball bustingly difficult.

I don't really know what to say that has not been said already. This is a very good fangame to those who are either a beginner to fangames or those who just want to go on a casual experience. It is 100 floors of easy needles with a boss fight every 25 floors. The last two bosses can give you some trouble if you are not good at pattern recognition and bullet dodging like I am.
Overall, really solid fangame that's a good gateway for beginners. There's easier fangames out there but this one has the highest production value of them currently.

Probably, at least to my knowledge, the perfect first fangame. The difficulty curve is pretty much perfect, with the last 20 floors being surprisingly brutal, but it's almost never annoying or anything like that because each floor stays fresh and exciting with unique ideas that are executed beautifully. I think there are like 5 floors that I actually didn't enjoy, but the rest of them are a blast. The bosses are fine as well, but they are my least favorite part of the game, most of the enjoyment that I get out of this game comes from the platforming. Absolutely incredible game, and I couldn't recommend it enough.
