HAEGOE [Creator]
I made ooparts 3 because 1 and 2 sucked, and now I made this because o3 didn't age well.
I've been watching gmtk videos, playthrough of modern fangames and such to study level designs and it seems I still have lots of room for improvements, especially for needles.
Also, while I did taken extra stages seriously this time(unlike o3), I'll admit I went a little overboard with the extra boss. Sorry about that.

It's not a HAEGOE game when there's no reference of metal slug and puyopuyo Kappa. This review is based on main contents.
I played the pre-release version, and the game was already mostly finished, so I decided to be the tester and find the details maker missed. Overall it was a very good adventure with decent difficulty, which is rare to see nowadays. I can see HAEGOE tried to avoid corridor platforming, and it definitely shows. (But I personally wish there were more trolls and traps.)
The bosses are very good as well. Major highlight is boss 6, very dynamic with various attacks. Only drawback is, the later bosses was a bit underwhelming, compared to boss 6. But it didn't harmed the overall quality so I won't deduct the rating.
I really liked the ending credit as well.
Rating for the main game is 8.4 and difficulty is 55.

This part of review is based on 100% clear with secrets and extra, followed by rating and difficulty.
I didn't noticed there were secrets until I played the final screen of final stage, and clues about 'there are secrets in this game'. Thankfully secret hunting is not unreasonable, most of them are not hard to find.
Secret 1: Actually can be hard to find, I suggest you should search an empty space after the trigger. Wish the placement trials was harder but it's only stage 1 so okay.
Secret 2: Easy to find. Who used this water in a recent needle game, and made HAEGOE use it in here? Kappa
Secret 3: Every object is placed there for a reason. Secret was very good and short challenge. Mediocre players would take a while.
Secret 4: Fake blocks very early in the stage. But I missed and did various dumb things that includes beating the stage multiple times and etc. I wish the gimmick was used in the main game, but still good for a single screen secret.
Secret 5: Every object is placed there for a reason Season 2. Secret can be hard due to random but I first tried it. Very good.
Secret 6: There's no secret in the main stage, I didn't noticed and did various dumb things Season 2. Just remember there's an extra room after beating the boss, and press the up arrow key. Also it's been a long time I dealed a secret boss that gives you secret item, probably after boshy and kill the guy. Very good boss.
Secret 7: Easy secret to find. The boss was decent, but I doubt anyone would choose aimed attacks.
Secret 8: Your mindset should be 'There's something suspicious in here'. There was only a corridor with 8 gates in the first version I tested, so I suggested a serious level design and HAEGOE did. Good secret, tho wish it was harder.
Secret 9: Very easy secret to find, and the first I found. Now I think about it, it's just standard needle so kinda underwhelming compared to other secrets. But due to concept of this stage, personally it was understandable.
Extra stage: Harder usage of gimmicks from main stages, with harder level design. Very impressive, and it really shows HAEGOE cared. It was the exact difficulty I wanted, but screen 3 and 5 will be troublesome to mediocre players, so be careful.
Extra boss: Counterattacks from sideways was annoying but okay. Phase 2 will be hard if you're not familiar with barrage. The dialogue after beating the boss was somehow very impressive so extra points.
Overall it was a worthy adventure with appropriate difficulty. Okay HAEGOE, I will give you good rating like you wanted, you deserve it. Truly, it's HAEGOE's magnum opus.
Rating for 100% is 9.1 and difficulty is 63.
Death - 2151, Time - 6h 09m 44s
(I tested the game and did various dumb things to find an error in level design, gimmick test, finding possible skip, dumb ways of secret hunting so don't be serious about my result, decrease it around 40~50%.)

Rating based on full clear, difficulty set to normal clear (full game clear is high 60s - 70?)
Big adventure game with platforming having a needle-ish focus, with some very interesting mechanics through the whole thing keeping everything interesting and fun. A lot of the game references are cool and some of them are classic haegoe tropes which we always love. The bosses as per usual are a lot of fun as well.
The secret hunting is a lot of fun and it stays accessible for everyone as you are pretty much guaranteed to find them all at some point. The extra stuff has some of the most fun platforming in the game and the true final boss is the most fun and most challenging in the game, making the full journey very rewarding.
Really love this one!

Based on 100 % clear. Well-maded adventure, platforming was honestly entirely fun and great to play - gimmicks are intuitive and varied, none of the saves felt out of difficulty curve. Bosses were also pretty enjoyable, some of them are very cool, some of them more faded, but they are still all very interesting
Secrets were harder to find than in OOPARTS III, but it's not a bad thing, since the way they hidden is good and i had a lot of fun with exploration part. EX stage, which is rewarding for obtaining secrets, is big improvement over OOPARTS III - here it's great stage with callbacks to all gimmicks - fun stuff. And EX final boss is hardest thing in the game, it's similar in design and difficulty to OOPARTS III EX final boss. I had some grips with pacing of this boss, but it was still pretty worthwhile and nice challenge
All in all, very strong adventure. It might be on simple side in terms of design, but honestly, why not? While many makers trying to pushing limit with some crazy stuff, which oftenly goes quite not great imo, Haegoe just mastering his own style and this game is coronet among his other games. You must definitely not miss this if you like adventures with old-school vibe, but in modern package

I like this game very much, but the BOSS at the last level is worse.
