Salt is a fairly old and simplistic adventure game, of sorts. You'll travel through very basic and somewhat mundane screens before reaching a boss, usually of which consists of a single RNG-based attack until you kill it, collect the stage item and move on to the next stage. There are some gimmicks thrown in to stages here and there which spice up the platforming, such as gravity changing or waiting for blocks to become solid on a cycle, although they never go anywhere very interesting.
The bosses though despite being simple are fairly fun to play, and some of them such as the single-block boss felt enjoyable to pull off. There's quite a hefty number of them too. Whilst none of them are overly memorable, they keep the game flowing at a nice pace. There's also a secret final avoidance for those who find all the normal secrets which has a variety of simple but fun-to-read RNG attacks. Nothing too challenging, although the difficulty here comes from it being just over 5 and a half minutes long which gives plenty of time to choke it all away at the end.
On the topic of secrets, each stage features a basic secret which is needed to access the aforementioned secret boss, as well as what I like to call an omega-Yoyo-tier-secret, often involving some galaxy brain method of accessing such as shooting a particular block to silently open up a path on a previous screen. I wouldn't recommend trying to find these blind unless searching for non-indicative triggers and backtracking with optimism sounds like your cup of tea, but they do lead to some more bosses so hey if that sounds like fun then go seek out the legendary Fatalbrain's videos so he can guide the way.
Fairly fun adventure game. The strength comes from the simplistic but kinda fun boss fights and not so much platforming. I'm not sure I'd recommend it over his newer title Sugar, which feels like a more modern and interestingly designed version of this in terms of the game flow and format.

Loved this game the entire way through!
The game is mainly focused on the bosses and avoidance with some short but sweet needle sections mixed into it.
Difficult is based off any%, 100% would be 45-50 in difficulty.

Rating and difficulty based on games clear to secret (true) final boss. (And review have spoilers!)
This is very specific game. To clear game without secrets and get to one of three ''Thank you for playing!'' screens, you have to clear 6 needle world and 7 bosses.
In the beginning you have choise to choose to go up or down. Each of path have 3 needle segments and 3 bosses.
Upper path is basically standart needle, with standart IWBTG tileset and restarting guy rock (well every music in this game restarts...). Only third world has delicious-fruits in it. Bosses aren't anything special too.
Downer path are more interesting to speal about. Every of world have its specific gimmick and 2 of bosses use this gimmick too. First segment have water gimmick, but its boss doesn't have water, so its just usual rng boss (like all other bosses in this game..).Second segment have appearing and disappearing block gimmick (this gimmick was included in k1 by the way), and this gimmick make boss for this world pretty hard if there are bad rng. Third world have different kind of low and high gravity gimmick. It makes world pretty fun. Boss is easy if you know that you don't need to kill boss instantly, but need to shoot with one bullet each time, because after each damage, boss throws delicious-fruit burst.
When you have cleared all 6 worlds, you can access ''final boss'' which is pretty tough. It have very hard rng attacks, espicially at the end, however from first clear it is most fun boss to play.
Then you have ''Thank you for playing!'' screen, but it isn't normal clear ( as game says ), because to get normal clear, you need to fight secret final boss, which unlocks after finishing secret area, which unlocks after you get all 7 secret items.
For this clear main problems won't be with needle for sure , because it is basically filled with traps, but it doesn't make needle hard. Main problems will be wih bosses, because they are rng bosses, and sometimes rng can be retarted...
Secret items aren't very hard to get, but are very fun but hard to guess where they are if you play blind.
Secret area need to be cleared with just one save, however it isn't that hard and is fun!
I will update review after I will finish secret final boss, but anyway I would recommend maybe to play this game, because I had fun when I played this game,however it isn't great game to play too.

Well, it is 13th March 2019 and I cleared secret final boss. Should admit that even though my timer shows 4:42:51 in moment of clearing (and according to my stats I cleared normal final boss in 2:18:38), most of the time was played in 2017. Back then I couldn't beat the first blue fruit attack lol. Important detail is that boss didn't take too much now, and the fun fact is that I 1 time died attack before the part in avoidance where you have to do almost nothing for some time and when I got 2nd time, I didn't die there and I first tried everything after that (also after the first blue fruit attack I was in total only 2 times if I recall correctly lol). Still, avoidance was pretty fun so I will change rating from 5 to 7.3 and difficulty from 38 to 46. Yes, some attacks were pretty repetitive (especially intro) and maybe it could be more unique, but I would recommend to play this game just because of the secret final boss if you have enough skill. I don't know if I am going to beat all extra stuff, but if I will, then I will update review once more (also tag 'Long' is for secret final boss if what).

Rating based on a Hard Mode Full Clear.
The game was OK even tho some traps were really annoying (most of them can be sight-readed).
Nothing crazy or nothing very original, everything is pretty generic, I liked the Red/Blue blocks gimmick tho.
I wouldn't really recommand this game but it isn't't too bad especially for a 2015 game!
Oh and also, I have no idea how you're supposed to find all the secrets legitimately lol

Unoriginal and annoying adventure game in the classic trappy style. For once, the traps aren't even the main gripe, since even though they're flying spikes, most are slow enough to react to. However, the entire game is entirely bland without a single memorable thing. Secrets are required to beat the true end, and the secrets are just hidden behind non-solid blocks, most of which are on random walls you have no reason to even look at.
If you suffer through collecting all these secrets, you get to play the lowlight of the game, a godawful avoidance. The avoidance is several minutes long, and only has like 10 attacks. Each attack is over 30 seconds long, making you dodge the same stuff for ages, and for some attacks that's more than enough time to get unlucky and hit with a 10x harder dodge. None of the attacks are original, and it feels like the world's least creative avoidance stretched out to a painfully long runtime, sapping away any enjoyment you might find in the dodging.
All-in-all, I can't recommend this game unless you realllly like classic adventures, and the word "memorability" makes you cry.
