the reason your anti virus might suggest that its a virus is due to GMS 1.4.9999's .exe creator being weird and messing with certain anti virus programs. its not a virus.
anyways this is a hades-like game that was made with no 1Fs or JCs. thats about it play it maybe

There was one pretty interesting save on screen 3, but overall I felt that this game was actually too easy/simplistic for its own good. Most of the jump sequences are actually pretty basic when you pare them down to the relevant components, and you can easily first try many of the saves. I think the appeal of a Hades-like is figuring out how to approach each jump sequence and experimenting with jump heights, the Kid's X position, aligns, etc., and this game doesn't really have any of that.

I wanna be the Dononite is a Hades-like needle game that manages to totally outshine not only any other Hades-like, but any other attempt at an imitation of another game. Every jump feels perfect, every save is beautifully constructed, each screen is a triumph in design and feel like they were meant to be played, as if they aren't a challenge to overcome but a wonder to behold and play through. Indeed, the game isn't actually that hard, any needle player with a bit of experience can make their way through this, and I absolutely implore you do so, it is well worth your time.
Perhaps I'm being over-effusive or obsequious towards a friend, maybe I'm just playing up my enjoyment because I want the creator to feel good about themselves... Nah. That's not quite it. I'll admit, I can't say I like this more than any of my favorite fangames, despite rating it similarly to them, nor could I say this is something every fangame player has to give a go; but, I don't think that's important either. The most important aspect is that I had a load of fun playing this and found not one issue with a single moment of this short masterpiece. I loved it so much I had to play through it again immediately after beating, and then a third time after that. It's short, sweet, superb, and above all superior to any other game of its sort. The diminutive nature of the game makes no difference to the amount of enjoyment gleaned from it. Plus, the visuals are good too, so it's a win-win all around.

a hades-like with a few interesting jumps, however nothing too special. barely qualifies as a hades-like due to it's low difficulty, either way I enjoyed it

A fun little beginner precision game, vaguely styled after Hades. There are a lot of enjoyable jumps here, while the lack of 1 frame jumps makes it very approachable. Unfortunately like all precision needle I've played the difficulty is a bit unbalanced, with a random save in the middle feeling a good deal harder, and the last couple screens feeling way easier.
Overall, a good recommendation for new players looking for precision style stuff.
