An adventure about as zany as they come. While it gets frankly completely unhinged with its gimmicks, the game puts most of its focus on them, over more traditional forms of difficulty from precision. This makes exploration of the gimmicks more fundamental to the gameplay than most similar games.
The game is structured in the rarely seen, but highly effective format, a main game that's shorter than it could have potentially been, that's instead filled to the brim with many different forms and layers of optional content.
100% is a spiritual journey.

Somewhat disappointingly this game is more of a gimmick needle game than an adventure, but I still had a lot of fun playing through it. I respect the creators for truly going "mask-off" with the gimmicks (As my good friend Wolfiexe would put it.) The platforming is harder than I expected, with some moments where I felt like I was completely fumbling around the controls. If you are on controller this might be a rough experience because a lot of switching between all 4 arrow keys is required. The hub and production value are incredible and make me wish the game was longer than it is. There are really only two bosses to speak of; the first one is a joke, and the second one can be a bit frustrating due to the aforementioned controls fumbling. I was hoping for a final boss of sorts to wrap everything up.

Interestingly, I find the game's extra content to be a lot better than the main content. The secret hunting and puzzle solving is a delight and is what really makes this game stand out in my eyes. The detail put into all the collectable cards is impressive too.

Overall, a very unique and smart game that has both more and less under the surface that initially seems. If you're going to go for 100%, I'd recommend teaming up with someone as some of the puzzles are rather difficult.

Ratings for 100%. I agree with Bob's review (Especially the part about the secret hunting / puzzle solving) almost in full- except I found the area needing all four arrow keys to be quite fun and felt good (though I can imagine it would be a pain for controller players, yeah)

This review is based on 100% as well as clearing the Purple Crab, without the purple crab the difficulty rating would be around 60-65 for 100% most likely.

This game was absolutely fascinating to play, to the point where I kind of got addicted to it during my session. The whole experience was super strange, the foundation of the game is three wonderful gimmicky needle stages, a gravity one which was super fun to play and maybe my favorite, the plunger one which maybe the most iconic and creative, and the snowboarding one, which was really entertaining. The bulk of the experience is built upon these stages, with tons of secrets and puzzles to get you exploring and coming back. I'm not huge on many puzzles, but the ones offered by this game were very engaging to me, and I had fun thinking about them. This game is truly unique and unlike basically any other fangame, to the point where I feel as if I have to recommend it on principle. It's just super cool that it even exists, and I'll definitely never forget it.
