You may not agree with my opinion, but this is the most sluggish game I've ever seen. This game is really trolling me. I spend 30 minutes trying to pass a fast platform, and after passing it I find out that I could bypass it through a fake block. And also stupid traps and a lot of generics. Avoidances... no comment. I'll give it 0.3 only for the original idea in the final stage, but otherwise it's trash with spikes and cherries.

I wanna saber5 is fifth game in the serie. This one is even harder than previous ones as well as is optimaly made btter than previous ones. This one has 5 main stages. Each stage has something special to show (music, puzzles, needle and other things). Let's look closer on each stage.
First stage is seperated in 2 short substages. First substage has ground needle, but second also uses blocksto make gameplay more interesting. Nothing too special, however that is not all! In this game we actually for each stage have avoidance! Yes, no more bosses, just avoidances. All avoidances have cutdown soundtrack so don't worry, there are no too long avoidances. First avoidance is pretty boring and doesn't have anything special either. More like tutorial stage to be honest.
For second stage we have needle which involves vines and water. Tileset is really well chosen for this stage, so that few screens looks really well in visual plan. Difficulty is pretty much as in first stage, so there is not much to say. Despite not so original needle, avoidance for this stage is actually pretty fun. It has really cool soundtrack so it is fun to hear. Gameplay is more original than in first avoidance. The only thing, which I am not sure does creator inspired from it or no, but there were attack similar like in Contrary (which was used in I Wanna Kill The Kamilia 3), only it was nerfed and there were no second part of it. Still attacks aren't too hard, so it shouldn't take too long. I am not really sure, but probably this is my favorite avoidance in this game. Probably.
Third stage is actually trap and puzzle stage. Starting from this one I actually needed to use several times video playthrough of this game to understand what to do. I don't know, but this stage and its traps and platforming looked like some kind of platforming, which were inspired by I wanna be the Noesis. I mean, there were so many raps, which were placed not in the same style as it was in previous games. If you understand what to do, there are not too many hard moments, so nothing too bad. Next avoidance was actually pretty nice for this creator. He used other sprites than only fruits, which was nice. Actually here you could enjoy both visual and music. RNG may seem hard, but actually it isn't. Pretty much same emotions as with previous avoidance.
Next stage is stage where difficulty rises up and you will have harder jumps as well as trickier puzzles. Stage itself uses unusual mysterious soundtrack, whih gives atmosphere. Still, there are just few jumps which can be problematic, so stage is actually not as hard as it could be. Maybe some puzzles starting from this stage is pretty unobvious, but they are actually pretty original. Avoidance for this stage was actually unusual. We have avoidance with anime's 'Steins;gate' intro. Actually, I waited for something worse! Avoidance was really easy, but had better visuals than I expected from this creator. There is nothing more to say.
The last stage is actually brutal. Stage suddenly starts to use hard jumps, like inverts (in whole stage you have to do 3 inverts), smaller gates and other ones. Also this stage shows as different gimmicks with 'Saber' (girl, which was last boss in the previous games). If I recall correctly it was Saber from I wanna saber2. Basically there are 3 gimmicks with her: 1) You can shoot her to trigger fruit on different protals 2) You can get closer to her and you should move it like a block (10/10 creator...) and 3) At one moment, where are spikes which triggers by kid's movements, you can jump on her to start timer. I won't tell actual answer, but my variant how to solve it: choose the lowest number by which you can distribute each of the given numbers, but if you still couldn't solve it, then look on this video how to solve it: [url]https://www.bilibili.com/video/av2073439/[/url] . The only thing, which I didn't understand was the last puzzle, where you have 4 portals, random number and you have to choose one of them. Answer each time is different, so it is basically RNG. If you get to Saber, she tells something, but I wasn't able to translate it, since it shows unreadable signs for me (also I find out that she is Saber, because there is written that she says something). If you have chosen right answer you get to the final screen, where you have to move with Saber and get to other side of the screen. And then you get to "thanks for playing" screen.
What can I say about this game? This game has potential to be really good,. It has nice sprite, music and tileset selection. Game has interesting avoidances and many puzzles are fun to play. What are problems? The main problem is that game as further it gets, it gets more and more unfun. Like really, what is fun to do in one stage 3 inverts? I don't find anything too fun. Still, I will give higher rating than for previous games, since this one is actually better and even more fun to play. But, yes, this game isn't really good for beginners, so I am not sure can I recommend it. If you are ready to play for few good moments, then you can try this one, otherwise I would probably not recommend, unless you have played previous games in this serie and you would like to clear the whole serie.
