This review is based on collecting all 35 yellow coins and all 17 red coins
Gimmick needle is immensely popular, especially now where there's more of it than ever. Yet this seemingly modern style can have it's very roots traced back by a little maker known as Nekoron, a man with many ideas. I don't know Nekoron and at this point it's safe to say I never will, but I have a deep respect for his work, as while LoveTrap is the more influential and iconic game, Charr is the true masterpiece.
Charr graces a player with some incredibly creative yet simple ideas, and nekoron manages to execute them beautifully. Not everything is a total banger, such as the early levels or grinding the Lucky red coin, but considering the age of the game, it's mind blowing what the ideas are. There are many fangames which do not reach this level of creativity even now, and it's just generally fun to play. The style of platforming is immensely satisfying to get good at an execute, and this becomes apparent when you go for the red coins. As the game progresses there is more fun gameplay, with stages like Hurrah, Normal, and Popular being based on Cherry cycles, or the Material stage with these silly RNG cherry chases, Image with an awesome shooting pushblock gimmick, and Orthodox as the ultimate cycle based challenge. This game doesn't mess around in difficulty, it's REALLY tough, and even the most experienced players will get hung up on some of these. There's even some non-platforming based challenges, such as the Kitten secret which is a matching puzzle, or Qualify which is more of a shooting accuracy test. I can't overstate just how fun this game is to play and and experience what this style of gameplay has to offer, because it's just really really good.
There are people who don't like this game. There isn't anything wrong with that, but for some reason that saddens me. There's a lot about this game which is saddening, mostly regarding the fact that it will never be finished. The scope of the game was massive, and it just simply will not be finished as Nekoron is nowhere to be found. It's hard to explain why these things upset me, but I think it's because to me, Charr represents something more than what the game really is. It feels like this style, is reflected even now by modern standards for needle gameplay. It feels like this game is ahead of it's time. It feels like this game is a modern masterpiece from 2011, but some don't see it that way. Some people see the bad production value, or the annoying segments, or the stupid bosses and throw the whole thing away. That's disappointing, because to me, Charr IS gimmick needle. It's gimmick needle in it's most pure form. It's everything good about gimmick needle in as simple of a format as possible. But that's my experience, and others don't have that, and I wish they did. I wish the game was finished and could reach it's full potential. I wish Charr was what I feel like it should be.
When playing this game, I thought of phrase, which is "If LoveTrap is the body the fangames would emulate, then Charr is the soul." I have no idea if this is accurate, I don't even know if I agree with it, but I thought of it. It feels like there's some truth to it, and that's interesting. Charr is eternally interesting, and eternally brilliant. I love Charr.
