Incredible game held back by a few big issues.
(also I looked up the requirements for each part and heavily relied on using videos to help see how to do some of the patterns).
"I Wanna In The Backroom" is an extremely high production value avoidance with really unique attacks and a really good song. It also gives you 9 hp, which is exceptionally generous and was the only reason I could beat this fight. I can't recommend this game enough, but it definitely has some weak points which really hold it back.
The maze is terrible. At the start of the game (and if you get any of the bad endings) you are forced to do this maze thing with it being super unclear what is ground and what's a wall. It isn't fun at all, and is completely out of place production value wise. I think its interesting to have exploring the maze give you hints, but for that to work the maze would have to be fun. Which it isn't.
I 100% agree with what Nick said about having to beat the first part in less than 3 hits. The first pattern section (the part with the really narrow xs and other stuff) is by far the hardest part of the fight, and the fact that you aren't even allowed to practice the rest of the fight if you haven't mastered that part yet seems really mean. Even if you were given one extra hit I think it would be fine, or if there was a built in practice tool. Its one of those things that despite being at around the beginning, meaning you will practice it the most, I still would end up taking too many hits even in the attempts leading up to me clearing it.
Finally, (and this could be a skill issue) I hate the cherries that spawn vertical beams. Using a clear video, I timed how many frames it took for the cherry to appear, and then for it to fire. It took 10 frames for the cherry to show up and summon its beam (removing paused frames because the game runs at 50fps compared to the video which ran at 60fps). This is faster than the average human reaction time (you need to react to the cherries in under 0.2 seconds unless I counted the frames wrong), and even if you do react, you might not be able to move out of the way in time. This is balanced around the fact that they usually don't hit you. because of how small they are compared to the screen. (also this is mainly for the ones during the red flower attacks near the beginning, the larger ones during the 2 player section give you much more time to react). This is an issue for obvious reasons, but you usually get lucky so it isn't a big deal and doesn't ruin the fight in any way.
Aside from those things though, this is an amazing avoidance that I really enjoyed. I am so thankful for the fact it gives you so much hp, it makes practicing and playing it so much easier. I highly recommend!

Almost a year ago I downloaded this game because it looked interesting.
I then got stuck in the maze part, rage-quitted, posted a negative review, and then forgot about it.
And then that review of mine pissed off so many people, that it got deleted (mostly because I didn't give the game much of a chance.)
Now flash-forward to the present. How do I feel about this game now?
It's good. The maze is still dumb tho.
