For: I wanna go go spike

the game is intended to be played on hard, as it actually allows you to access all the areas in the game. hard doesn't reduce the amount of saves like it usually does, but actually buffs the needle itself (as far as I know)

as for the game itself, it's a mess. the game's filled with skips of various effectiveness - some allowing you to skip entire screens, some allowing you to skip like one difficult jump. this is mostly present in the stage with a custom spike shape, which isn't wide enough to fill an entire block, allowing you to stand on blocks with spikes on them and skip substantial parts of the stage.

it has a wide array of technical issues, having one of the worst engines I've ever seen. dying resizes your screen making it so you essentially have to keep mashing your f4 key every time you die. making the window larger doesn't work, since it just resizes the game back to 800x608. this is insanely annoying for anyone playing in fullscreen. you can stand on the corner pixels of blocks due to poor collision, allowing some minor skips throughout the game. the game lags randomly if the screen has a bunch of objects in it. this is most noticeable in the stage with the vhs vertical scroll effect. the game also has some suspect hitboxes in certain areas. there’s also a ton of miscellaneous general design issues that *could* boil down to personal opinion, so I won’t bash the game too much on something that could be affected by personal bias.

there's some annoying trap stage with Metamorphosis-like traps, except it's not as interesting or difficult as Metamorphosis. it just kinda boils down to repeated fuckery instead of actually creative or interesting traps. I suppose they're well-designed for what they're trying to do, but the problem is that.. what they're trying to do is to be a nuisance. btw even the hub itself looks like Metamorphosis lol.

the gravity area is likely the thing most worth playing in the game, as it's actually interesting the way it's non-euclidean, where you go back and forth but end up in different rooms each time. I find that quite interesting.

there's a few more stages that aren't too interesting. what's notable is that, upon collecting the secret item in each area, you gain access to extra variants of the presented stages. these are required for the full clear, so you'll want to get them. the EX variants are much better and more playable than their regular equivalents. again, gravity stage is really fun and interesting. final stage also has an EX variant with a good mix of interesting stuff in there. the EX half of this game is actually worth playing, despite the slop that comes before it
