Really fun needle. Really fun bosses/barrage avoidances. One of my favorite fangames. Highly recommended.

== Overview ==
In many ways this game is the textbook definition of a great avoidance. There's great flow between patterns. There's good balancing. The length of patterns is perfect: usually lasting briefly. This game has RNG done (mostly) right where patterns are usually the same difficulty and improvement happens naturally. And this game is lots of fun to play.
I love the aesthetics. I adore the song choice and think it fits avoidance well. I like how the patterns and background graphics sync with the music. And of course, the intro is kino.
The thing I dislike the most about this game is the lack of variety in patterns. Just about every pattern in this game is just a random barrage of cherries that move in straight trajectories. It made the game feel repetitive. I would have liked to see cherries that moved in a curve or better yet cherries that moved in abnormal ways. I also would have liked to see some non-RNG segments. The abundance of RNG made the game feel too much like a slot machine and added to the repetitively. And while I think this game usually does RNG correctly there were segments that I found were either a cake walk or quite challenging with little in-between depending on RNG (examples below). Furthermore, the optimal strategy throughout almost the whole game was to stay on the far left of the screen. I believe the best avoidances have the player using the entire playfield. I found that the patterns aren't very impressive on a technical level, which is something I value highly in an avoidance. Lastly, the patterns lack originality. There's little here you haven't seen before. Though I think this game does a good job repackaging familiar ideas.
== Nitpicking Individual Patterns ==
I'll be referring to time stamps in eggkid's clear video in this section. The patterns at 1:54, 2:06, and 2:20 are examples of bad RNG. The pattern at 1:42 is horribly ineffective. I don't know how I feel about the ending being the easiest part of the game. It's also more or less a repeat of the beginning.
PS: I would have liked to see a PB system implemented where you can see how far you made it each time and your PB would show up on your save file.
== Conclusion ==
Overall, while it has its problems, this is an awesome game and it's a ton of fun. I recommend this to everyone, especially beginner avoidance players. I think it's impressive this is the maker's first game. Hats off to them.

Very fun little debut avoidance! It has pretty cool visual design with spotlight around kid and fruits, along with neat rainy features. Gameplay is simple and yet you need to do quite a bit to survive. I had mainly problem with 3 things: in the beginning when blue and orange fruits rotate - I needed a bit to understand timing ; instagib with wall going up ; curving fruits - it is tricky to find correct way to dodge. There is also slightly denser barrage in the end with white background but I did not find it too much harder. Avoidance is pretty short so this experience lasts for around 10-30 minutes, but not much more really.
I had fun and I would recommend this avoidance to beginners if you do not mind slower type of the song and in general more chill vibe!

Rating based on the final Hitless clear
If you told me over a year ago at least or even prior to now that I would actually beat Soulless for real, I would not have believed you. But here I am now, after over 98 hours, "It's done".
When I first played Soulless, I never had the intentions of beating this, let alone hitless. I was pretty happy with getting a 4 hit (later 3 hit) clear, thinking that it was the best I'll ever get. Yet, with time and perseverance over the following months, I climbed higher and higher until I ascended and slain the beast once and for all finally.
The only real complaint I have is the finale of Gate 5 feels unfair with how it's the hardest attack of Gate 5, especially to read with all the chaos and being near the end feels like a dick move. But this is only a mere smidge on a perfect 10/10 Avoidance for me.
Soulless is truly god like in both quality and the challenge it poses to players who come in, whenever to actually beat it or to see how far they can get. It now stands as of writing my new hardest and proudest clear as it was my glow up from not feeling confident with Avoidance to achieving my first ever AHOF clear. I highly recommend to anyone who feels confident in their skill and patience.
