Another legendary production by Derf that feels like the absolute opposite of XIFT, this time making you want to get up and dance to some of the greatest music of the ages. Honestly, this is one of the best gimmick games that I think exists, and I absolutely enjoyed the avoidance at the end, heightened by the fact you are given 3 HP so it isn't too hard to execute.
The gimmick itself is incredibly interesting, I think is something that more people should consider using in their own works. It offers for so many new ways to think about needle design that there wasn't a single jump in this that I've seen in another game. I also thought it was pretty quick to learn, and not that finnicky, which is always a plus side when a lot of fangames have strict learning requirements to theirs.
Highly Recommended, go experience the age of your ancestors!

Edit January 29th 2024: I think I like the idea of this game more than the game itself. The gimmick is a bit fun but the accompanying platforming and boss don’t necessarily capitalize on it the best. I think the visuals also made me feel a little sick but I’m not sure how much of that is my fault versus the fault of the game.
It has too many full jumps and ended up hurting my hand. Minus that though the game is pretty solid even though I'm not a fan of how the gimmick is implemented in the avoidance.
