essentially just a few screens of unfinished low-50s needle with a few random hard jumps. the game's awkwardly littered with odd traps that don't really feel like they belong anywhere, yet they are just kinda there. there isn't much to talk about, as it's unfinished - the game quite literally ends in less than 10 minutes

For: I wanna be the sashimi of gorilla
For: I wanna be the sashimi of gorilla
Short luck-based avoidance made by NN, using the short song '刺身ゴリラーヌ' (https://www.nicovideo.jp/watch/sm18370047), that I guess means 'Sashimi Gorillane' or something like that. In the video you can see the Gorilla, and this avoidance is playing of by this theme.
This is presumably the first avoidance made by NN, and it was unreleased. I am not sure what was the context of its creation.
The earliest public information of this game was Toshi's YouTube video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=go6FFbggvA4, published on July 5th, 2018. However, the .exe of the game is December 30th, 2017, which I assume is the correct date of this game.
My best guess is that this game was made for Toshi, but I might be wrong.
It is also interesting looking on the history of this game, considering that NN also made 'I wanna be the sashimi of gollira returns', and the video of Toshi (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1VSHOVmMJew) was published the same day as the normal version. However, the sequel does have better production value, so maybe it was made later on.
It is also peculiar how the title of the game is actually different for the sequel. For the sequel it does have an error and is 'I wanna be the sashimi of gollira returns', but the original game is, in fact, 'I wanna be the sashimi of gorilla'.
For long time people did, however, think that the original game also had an error, which was caused because of the Toshi's video containing error for long time (you can still see re-posts of the video having this error: https://x.com/y9kitami/status/1148501272380628993).
I thought that maybe NN named the sequel in such a way after Toshi's video, but the date's of the video suggests otherwise. So I am not sure if error was actually intentional or not.
However, the story does not end there. There are also 2 kind of remake games from 2019 made by Toshi called 'I wanna be the gorisashi' and 'I wanna be the gorisashi omake'. The first is based on the 'I wanna be the sashimi of gorilla' and the 2nd one on 'I wanna be the sashimi of gollira returns'. You can notice that the ideas are very similar, the design is the same, but you can also see that there are changes.
The original game has white background, classic platform design and no infinite jump. It also has fake blocks under the difficulty portal on loading screen for some reason.
Toshi has beaten this game 1st time in 05:01:12 and 3861 deaths. 2nd clear took less than 100 deaths and less than 10 minutes.
I have played 1st time this game in July of 2021, and this took me 1744 deaths and 02:20:47 time wise. 2nd clear took me around 260 deaths and 20 minutes.
Now, I am fairly certain I know what caused both of us playing this game for so long.
The game is not easy, and you do need to do quite a lot of good dodges, along with being lucky. But a lot of the attacks are quite straight-forward. The biggest issue is literally the last attack. The aiming is what took me the most.
Jumping in the way so that fruits do not kill you is surprisingly hard. You need to be quick, but not too quick. And also not too slow.
However, you also really need to hope that there won't be any fruits above you, otherwise you will get sniped by them.
On my 2nd playthrough (now in 2025) I had like 2 final deaths and I got lucky on my 3rd time. I really did not have anything nearby the wall so I could freely jump over all fruits and getting on top of the platform.
I am not even sure if there are better strats than that, honestly.
So, yeah, this little gorilla avoidance is sweet and silly, but the finale is quite annoying from what I remember.
I do not know how I would rate this thing nowadays, but I will stick to my original ratings, since I think it is the closest to the actual difficulty. There is a reason why both me and Toshi had trouble with this game.
The sequel is really much more easier than this one and better as well. This one is just meh. It is not the worst thing ever, it is a bit funny, and I might be a bit too generous with my rating, but even then it is not worth it.
Just skip this one even if you have it.
Would not recommend.

I looked at the reviews after beating it... okay??? what genesis1987 said actually works... I also didn't know that there was a warp at first screen lol. Rating based on not using them I guess
It's a 5 screen long needle game, I thought it's kinda generic, and not smooth. Biggest problem for me was that the vines are like invisible. Wouldn't recommend.

The needle was a bit generic, but had some fun execution of gimmicks. There are some annoying jumps though.
The boss was decent, although I didn't like 2nd and 5th attacks. They are much harder than other attacks, and awkward to dodge.
Overall, it's worth playing but it might not be for everyone, since the gimmicks themselves can be awkward as well.

It was overall really outdated, but I did like the concept of the bosses. Final avoidance was okay.
