I've been playing this fangame on/off for the last few months and I've enjoyed it more and more as I got better at it. I hope I'll finish it one day. Difficulty is based on the bad ending.

A timeless classic, with mostly stellar gameplay design, even for gimmicks I'm not a fan of, like conveyors and gravity fields . I'm extra impressed by the fact that most rooms hold well, with minimal modifications, after the 180 degree plot twist. That being said, I'm happy I waited until now to aim for the true ending, because 2022 voracious would have found it very frustrating!
I'd definitely recommend the any% ending for anyone, even beginners, since NANG is a game that lends itself well to revisit after your skills increase, and true ending for more experienced fangamers. Overall I enjoyed it, it never became boring despite its length, and even the more frustrating floors were worth grinding for the satisfaction of the clear.

This was my first fangame I ever finished (other than vine tutorial but ignore that) and I can't say I'm disappointed at all. This is definitely one of the most polished fangames out there, and the gameplay doesn't indicate otherwise. Each stage has its own unique mechanic which is explored well throughout each floor within the stage. There were no real sudden difficulty spikes, except for maybe the trials and the avoidances , so it felt mostly smooth there out. Spoilers for some of the game, but I must say the two avoidances are easily the worst parts of the game, which brought it down massively for me. Not only was the 2nd avoidance the hardest part of the game, it just never really fit in well with the rest of this game. It felt like an outlier to watch, and playing it only cemented the fact, let alone it being significantly harder than the rest if you've had no previous experience with them. That's the only part of the game I remember heavily disliking, but everything else is at worst mediocre, with its highs being some of the best in the whole fangame business.
I would recommend this to any player, and although beginners probably shouldn't start with it, it should be definitely within their highly prioritized games to play. I do believe the difficulty is a little higher than it should be, which can easily scare off some newer players, so maybe don't wait too long as the struggle only makes it better.
