Crimson Needle's sequel, and the quality is certainly worth recognizing.
Compared to CN2 and CN3, CN2.5 is like its name, like a combined version of the two games, with CN2's Jumping Stinger and CN3's Gimmick, in which the Jumping Stinger mainly accounts for more of the game.
The game has a lot (really a lot) of weird hidden extras, but I didn't bother looking for them. I can't say whether it's good or bad to cram so much puzzle game content into a jumping jab game.
The main review of Jump Spike is that most of the jump spikes (up to 71F) are great, however from 71 onwards it just doesn't turn out quite right, both in terms of difficulty and fun, and yes I'm going to start criticizing - the whole game is finished in terms of difficulty! Entirely! NOT! Balanced! Balanced! Especially 85-87, where you have to die once without an archive to find out what to jump next, and I spent a full hour more on those three levels than I did on 97-99!
Then there's 100, which is honestly the most disappointing and annoying layer for me, as well as the last layer of the game; the entire 100th layer is just a copy and paste of a portion of all the previous layers, with little to no modification other than that.
I died 3 whole times in the last STAGE of 100, and the resurrection even had a bug where you could get stuck upside down in a wall (see https://www.bilibili.com/video/BV1y3YPeoEPj/?spm_id_from=333.999.0.0&vd_source= for details) fdf6a43dcb16de99d370e24ef0c0fe2d), and it really hit the mind hard. And 100 really has too many, too many unfriendly jumps, meaning not difficulty, but simply not fun.
But the overall quality is still there, and with the fact that this is the sequel to the Crimson Needle series, I'd still rate it a perfect 10. As for the difficulty, it's not as hard as Crimson Needle 3 if you don't count all those hidden extras.

My favorite game of all time. The sheer length truly insane, but that's not even somehow the game's biggest strength for me. This is an experience that is hard to put into words, mostly because the game itself is speaking without words. This game manages to evoke really powerful emotions in me without dialogue, which is something that no other media has done, at least to this degree. This is also the only fangame that has made me cry, multiple times even.
For a while finishing this game felt like it was something I could only dream of having accomplished, and even though I'm writing this 7 months after my clear, it is still insane to think that I've reached the end of the journey after 368 hours.
This game means the world to me, I hope one day I'll get to experience something this great again.
