Rating and difficulty based on true ending on hard mode

decently charming old school adventure game with fun gimmicks and bosses. The secrets are a bit stupid if you're looking for them blind, but I thankfully didn't. The final avoidance is pretty fun although it can get boring.

typically I really like Yoyo games, as I think his avoidance and needle styles are unique and easily recognizable. something is slightly up with this game, I couldn’t quite tell what it was. it feels unusually empty, even for a Yoyo game. it didn’t have much of anything in the way of platforming and I first tried every boss except a select three. Yoyo does like making ‘easy’ games, but I feel like he was holding back far too much for Salt. I feel Yoyo shines most in the 40-65 difficulty range — which unfortunately excludes this game

the rooms feel empty, long and boring. missing a secret means re-trekking through all those empty rooms you thought you wouldn’t have to run through again. on the topic of secrets, some secrets aren’t very clear and seem to unlock at random. to be clear, my issue isn’t Yoyo-style needle. it’s just that the needle is practically nonexistent even for Yoyo standards. the secrets had the only semi-interesting platforming in the entire game, which is unfortunate since they’re few and far between. there’s also random traps that just kinda miss you, I don’t really understand the point of them. the bosses are all unnamed Yoyo creatures that spew some kind of RNG at you. one boss you might know — Sanipalt (the extra boss), is the sole recognizable character in the entire game. strangely, I think this name was not coined by Yoyo or anyone along those lines. ‘Sanipalt’ as a name first appears in I wanna Break the Series Z 3. in Z3, this boss is the 4th hidden boss and in the achievement he’s called Sanipalt. similarly named is the 2nd hidden boss, which happens to be another character of Yoyo fame — the creature from Gel. there he’s called Leglt, which has no basis in anything officially stated by Yoyo, meaning PDPlayer likely just made the name up. the similarity of Leglt and Sanipalt suggests that Sanipalt is also a made up name. I suppose the boss itself is interesting, as it’s the hardest and longest boss in all of Salt. I didn’t first try it, it isn’t as easy as it looks. it’s easy to misread/overthink something and die in a silly way

would I recommend it for a beginner? sure. however, if you’re anywhere above the intended skill level, it might be very boring

The difficulty level in this game increases too rapidly.

It's a pretty standard platformer. The six Stages are not notably challenging, but they are well placed for easy play, and the saves are appropriately spaced. The traps are basically uninteresting. Some stages have gimmicks. Boss requires you to avoid some difficult RNG, but it's not hard enough to bother with. Secret items are placed in places that are easy to find for me personally, and I had no trouble finding them.

But this is only up to the first ending. The game's Avoidance requires almost entirely reflex avoidance of very dense and fast barrage, and the song is about 6 minutes long, which also requires a high level of concentration. Frankly speaking, I would give it a difficulty rating of 28 if we consider only the first ending, but I would give it a rating of 63 if we consider only this voidance. (Although the average of 28 and 63 is used to give it a difficulty rating of 47.)

In addition to the secret items, there are 6 hidden bosses in the game, but finding their entrances is very difficult and they are all so cleverly hidden that it seems impossible to find them by yourself. In fact, I watched the Walkthrough for all but the hidden boss in Stage 4.


As of October 27, 2024, the average difficulty of the game is 38, but I think the difficulty of this game should be rated higher.
