My first ever avoidance and gms project. Only took 3 days was in a rush. Note: There is a savefile I forgot to remove so just start a new one. By the way it's bad in my opinion. Here is why: The music doesn't fit. This is why I found this avoidance bad not everyone will understand why I used that song. The game is called "I Wanna Cry" because it used 2 songs from 2 very emotional anime shows Clannad/Anohana. (The main avoidance is using Anohana ED song) If I make an avoidance next time I will make sure to use a better music that fits. Plus I rushed with the last attacks for this game so that's why it's mostly empty. I apologize but I hope you enjoyed it at least.

It's a pretty avoidance. My main letdown would be that the attacks that seem like they could be interesting end before they have a chance to really get going, but there's nothing really wrong with that. It's also slightly empty at times and the song is a poor fit for avoidance in general in my opinion, but for something made in just 3 days, it's not bad at all.

I knew that production value was being wasted on bad memes.

It's a decent easy avoidance with pretty good production value. There were some interesting attacks, but there were also some pretty annoying ones(namely the screen wrap attack), as well as the game in general felt a bit too slow-paced and empty, especially at the beginning. I wouldn't really call the song itself unfitting, it's just that the avoidance could have been built around the song in a better way.

In addition to that, there were some minor technical issues that haven't impacted the gameplay but nevertheless given me the impression of the game being unfinished - namely, the game sharing saves with the default YoYoYo engine(the creator clearly forgot to rename the project file), and restarting sometimes bringing you to the save select screen rather than the room with the portal for some reason (although this is not really unexpected considering this was made in 3 days).

Still, this is, by far, the best game from this maker so far, and I hope that they continue to make games and improve further.

Short and easy avoidance made by Bloomy. I cleared this avoidance both in 2021 and now in 2025.

A bit of an awkward avoidance is this. It does tend to happen with Bloomy's stuff, and this avoidance is not an exception. There are good things here, but there are also very odd choices here and there.

Going off attack by attack:

1. The beginning

Easy and is just fine. Nothing special though - simply falling bullets from the sky.

2. https://youtu.be/sbmyNDO24rM?t=18

Instagib with no indicator + can give dense situations sometimes. It does feel awkward to dodge this even if it is not necessarily too hard. At least it kind of fits to the music.

3. https://youtu.be/sbmyNDO24rM?t=25

Pretty cool background change timed with the music. The first attack in this section is very odd though. It seems like a pattern but I am pretty sure it is not? Or its pattern with offset? Really weird one. If you die too much on it, then it gets a bit on your nerves even if it is not (once again) necessarily hard or anything.

4. https://youtu.be/sbmyNDO24rM?t=28

Easy pattern. Nothing special.

5. https://youtu.be/sbmyNDO24rM?t=32

Easy pattern. Not sure why this attack exists. It does not add anything, really.

6. https://youtu.be/sbmyNDO24rM?t=35

I guess it is a fine pattern. Nothing special, but I am not against this heart.

7. https://youtu.be/sbmyNDO24rM?t=39

I actually liked this section. While bullets can spawn into you, author has predicted that and programmed so that bullets cannot kill you in such cases. That was a nice touch, that I do appreciate. This attack can get a bit dense, but it is overall fine.

8. https://youtu.be/sbmyNDO24rM?t=51

A bit of a confusing transition. MIDDLE = BAD is a bit of a weird phrasing, but hey at least thanks for the warning! Although be aware that the kid automatically spawns up. If you spam too much then this is gonna happen: https://youtu.be/sbmyNDO24rM?t=102 . Funny bug.

As for attack itself. Well, it is actually fine. It gets a bit scary, but if anything spawns into you, then it does not kill you, which gives a lot of room for an error. That was really nice, and I did like to dodge this set of attacks, even if it is a simple concept.

Also, I noticed that if you had desync in the first part of the avoidance, then it syncs back on this attack.

9. https://youtu.be/sbmyNDO24rM?t=60

I mean, I know that MIDDLE = BAD, but like it is not obvious that it was meant for this attack. Also it is way harder than all other attacks, and you might have situations as me in the video. I have no clues if this was an intended strategy or not, but if it was, then that is very clumsy. I do not like this spiral attack at all. It is annoying.

10. https://youtu.be/sbmyNDO24rM?t=67

Simple but kind of effective. I liked this attack. It combines of what we have already seen for a finale! Maybe a bit hard, but it is fair so I do not mind this. There is one issue though, and I am gonna mention that for the next section.

11. https://youtu.be/sbmyNDO24rM?t=82

Why the hell is this a thing??? I mean, again, I KNOW that MIDDLE = BAD, but come on. You do not have to put such a thing in the very end. It is so unclear when this happens, that you have to dodge previous attack outside of the centre and it is a bit counter-intuitive. This sucks as a finale, because it is there just because why not. Bad design.


After that you have very weird clear screen where you see Don's profile picture with 0.01 transparency. I do not know why. And also I cannot decipher what is said under the picture as well. There is also some weird noise of clicking. Not sure why that is a thing as well. Maybe to make you confuse as if you recorded yourself when it is not the case? If so, then it is a very odd trolling.


I have already showcased one bug, but there are 2 more things that I have noticed only on my 2nd playthrough:

1. There is this easter egg. That is funny, not gonna lie: https://youtu.be/OYfMj5WwRHk
2. It is better to not pause in this game or you will catch very weird bug. This game will have additional visual effects on avoidance that will persist even if you F2 the game (or if you restart before dying, since this game teleports you to the title screen in such cases), so you will have to close the game. It looks funny though: https://youtu.be/OYfMj5WwRHk?t=13


All in all, 'weird' is how I would describe this avoidance. It is kind of fine, but it has really weird design of attacks. I did not get angry or anything, but this avoidance fails to create entertaining gameplay, and this avoidance also fails to be good for beginners (due to the weird design of gameplay, as I have said before). It is fine and that is pretty much it.

There are good things here, but the bad things are kind of evident, and they ruin the experience, in my opinion.

I know this was supposed to be first solo avoidance of the author (I am still not sure if it is truly the first of theirs though), but I disagree with the author saying 'By the way it's bad in my opinion. Here is why: The music doesn't fit. This is why I found this avoidance bad not everyone will understand why I used that song.'. You can make good avoidance with any song, it is just about how hard your life is gonna be and how much effort you put into your production. In the case of this avoidance, there are a lot of good things, but the bad thing is just balance and attack design. You can also see that the avoidance was rushed, and while author mentions that they rushed the last few attacks, I would say that the overall production is rushed, since you really can see that this was made in 3 days. Avoidance also could have had better visuals for sure, because in the current state it is a bit cheap and already outdated for modern standards.

Also I am not sure what is up with YouTube for this avoidance. My old video got blocked a while ago, but then it got public once again. Now I tried to upload a new video and it does not allow me to upload it without altering audio with YouTube automatic system. Odd.

Anyway, to sum up, I am more leaning towards the 'Would not recommend' zone, if you ask me.

P.S. Why is there a 'Horny^^.PNG' file included??
