ГГ. Прошёл игру Reveal Spoiler, вполне понравилась, но прям эйфории как многие я не получил. Я просто очень не люблю гиммики. Но вцелом игра зашла, она не сложная, в меру фановая, и в целом это был интересный челлендж. Битнул за 2 дня получается. Понравилась.

The difficulty is based on all the achievements.
I will be another fan, not another needle game)). I will not say anything new considering the number of comments, I will just name the things that I am impressed with.Firstly, this is the only game after Vandal that gives me a feeling of the monumentality of the project.It was noted that a huge amount of content here is gray and not interesting in the first half.A huge amount of content, and a different approach to passing due to the presence of achievements, acquires a different side as soon as you go through these stages of achievement.It's just an ingenious approach to finding endings, which is really comparable not just to a secret, but to the search for another world where you feel every step and build up some kind of tension to find it. This transition is ideally spelled out by unscrewing the elevator, its fall (I think everyone in childhood thought, and if the elevator falls and I jump, will I die or be saved)turning upside down, darkness with different inscriptions, everything perfectly conveys this transition so much that it is pure art. More brilliant.
The most ingenious stage with teleportation, every screen in this stage is perfect.Perhaps this is the best thing that has ever been invented and implemented.
The approach to the secrets themselves, which give different endings with the opening of the door, is again an ingeniously created artistic image.
And the cherry on the cake in this madness is that the whole game of the game works from top to bottom, on the contrary, being inverted, it was an absolute shock to me.Here I applaud, it was an even bigger discovery for me than the maze in qoqoqo 300. In general, this is a brilliant game that cannot be considered from the point of view of just a needle, here it will not be among the best, but the ideas, the embodiment, it's just a whole creation at its best

what got me into needle games to begin with. probably not the best idea to play this first, as it took me like 30000+ deaths and many, many hours to fully clear?? but i felt like it was worth it and super rewarding to do.

difficulty rating based on true end.

Really fun! Played it as my second fangame, and it makes me really excited to try more. Great for learning the basics of needle games. Thank you for making this :)

In my now 7 years of playing fangames, I have somehow completely avoided getting the true end of NANG. Imagine that. When I first got the bad ending of this game back in 2017, I legitimately hated it. I felt the game was designed to make me as annoyed as possible and it succeeded. I gave up on trying to achieve true end at that point because I felt I wasn’t having fun anymore nor was I skilled enough to do so. 2-3 years later, I saw Stonk playing a NANG room randomizer mod, and I decided to give it another shot. I was actually surprised at how much more fun I found the experience, and I even managed to get the confused ending. Sadly, the mod breaks when doing the hard mode stages, and so my journey once again came to a close. Yesterday, I got a sudden urge to fully clear NANG for whatever reason, and I have to say, NANG is a good game!!!

The bite sized room format allows every area to feel like a series of challenges that properly explore the theme of the stage, with a few set pieces that stand out above the others. With the length of each stage though, if you aren’t already a good player going into NANG, you may feel like they drag on too long or become annoying. The game feels very much like it was designed to be speedran even discarding the ranking you get upon finishing a stage. It’s a game that is more enjoyable on replays than on the initial playthrough, at least for me.

The gimmicks and needle are simple by today’s standards but they somehow manage to be incredibly memorable. I remember so many of the rooms in the game just from someone briefly describing them to me. It feels like a breakthrough in creativity for the genre and yet it still holds up today because it’s simplicity is its biggest strength.

As for the difficulty curve, it’s super smooth and gradual. It peaks in stage 10 and then the hard mode stages feel more like a victory lap as opposed to a proper hard mode. When I started NANG, I wondered to myself why no game other than Not Another Falling Game had attempted the format of this game, and the answer is that it requires a LOT of skill to make something like this interesting. If there’s one thing my new playthrough put in perspective, it’s how skilled of a designer Geezer actually is. I took for granted the design of this game when I first played it, and now that I’m better I see the light. NANG won me over. That’s the biggest praise I can give it.
