Relaxing fun needle game with gimmicks.
Platforming is well designed so that the gimmick is utilized, fun to play.
My only complaint is the green block, although I can kind of understand how gimmicky it is,
I couldn't figure out exactly what the height of the resulting jump would be.
Regardless, it's certainly a good game that I can recommend.

fun ftfa-like on the easier side, proving it’s possible to make fun and interesting easy ftfa-like needle. this game is the most ftfa-like ftfa-like out there - it bears the most resemblance to the original and doesn’t stray far from the original ideas imposed in FTFA. notably, the game is very easy in terms of ftfa-likes. it’s one of the easiest games in the entire genre, but this doesn’t stop it from being one of the most fun ones out there. a lot of easier games in genres often dominated by hard games struggle to find their place in said genres due to their low difficulty. this game doesn’t. it perfectly emulates what most would imagine when they think of an easy ftfa-like. obviously, the game isn’t super easy - 66 isn’t childsplay, there are people who this game would be too hard for
despite the rather irritating engine inhibiting proper screen resizing, the game doesn’t have any particularly bad jumps which stick out to be extremely or unreasonably difficult for the difficulty it’s at. most jumps have some sort of leeway and aren’t a bunch of forced framecounts. screen 4 is likely my favorite, as it’s the hardest and goes ‘quite out there’ with the gameplay, allowing for some previously never before seen things in this game. the last jump is quite mean, but I managed to first try the entire left side of screen 4 (as in, everything past the long jump) and didn’t have any trouble with the screen. from what I can tell, it’s by far the hardest one - again, very similarly to FTFA
highly recommended, super fun!!

The bullets are too small, and they come very densely.
The black edges of the bullets blend in with the dark background.
Bad.

The game translate as '1.5 hour production aiwana ver snow'. According to readme, author wanted to make game in 1 hour, but ended spending 30 minutes more. I thought that maybe this game was made for some contest (which would explain 'ver snow' part), but I could not find any, so it seems like there is no particular story behind this game? Maybe? Not sure.
Anyway, you have 1 screen of needle and 1 short luck-based avoidance. Needle is the hardest part of it, mainly due to the half diamond drop and unpleasant platform jumps. I ended up practicing platform jumps in Jtool, since getting until there was too annoying for me. At least you can listen to a cool Touhou soundtrack, while looking on inverted colour palette (typical choice of the author at the time in 2015).
Then you have luck-based avoidance, which starts fine, but when you get curving attack, it quickly escalates. It is still easier than needle part, but it is annoying and you just wish to get quickly through. I would probably give 40 difficulty for the avoidance.
Needle was unejoyable due to the escalated difficulty near the end and the avoidance was unenjoyable because luck-based aspect quickly escalates on the second attack. You really feel like wasting your time.
I am not sure why author had to make a game in such a short period of time. If it was to show that they could do it, then OK, but it does not automatically make the game enjoyable.
Would not recommend.

fun and difficult save with some intuitive and fairly simple jumps and a pleasant tileset that isn't too hard on the eyes. the game has built-in practice in the form of a difficulty select option, allowing you to easily swap between attempts and practice. every jump is pretty consistent and of similar difficulty, meaning you won't find yourself dying repeatedly to specific jumps. the align grab is pretty creative and I like the jump to get back, it's very satisfying
a fun, simple and well-made game for what it tries to be
