Dedicated to everyone who's enjoyed my previous games, and especially to my playtesters.
The idea of Retrospective is that every stage is made in the style of one of my previous games, but not in a "reheating old food" kind of way, but rather in a "modern cover of an older hit song" way. You can expect a variety of gimmicks, needle, cycles, fruit and vegetables, and also a wide variance of difficulty between stages and inside each stage (estimate from low 50s to low 60s). Enjoy the ride!

Pretty fun gimmick needle game. It certainly serves as a re-hash of a lot of voraciousreader's other works, which may make parts of it feel a bit repetitive if you've played their other games + IWM maps. The platforming is solid throughout, and if you're unfamiliar with voraciousreader's works, this works as a great point to start if you're into gimmick needle with a fair few cycles.

Five-stage gimmick-needle game. I thought it was great for the most part; the first stage was a bit too gimmicky for me though, unfortunately, and required by far the most learning. I liked the cycles, which were generally not that tight, and possible to sight-read. Would give a soft recommendation.
Stage 1: yuck
Stage 2: very fun
Stage 3: good
Stage 4: good
Stage 5: ugly but fun
