This is one of the best avoidances I have ever played. The attacks are very creative and gimmicky. I especially liked the first attack of chorus 2, since it's very satisfying to do once it gets consistent. The balancing is great too, and most attacks are fair. My only real complaint is that infinite jump is usually very easy, but rng can totally mess you up, since the cherries curve randomly, and dying there is very frustrating. Also this avoidance has a lot of omnidirectional reading, which I still suck at despite being omnisexual myself.

It's not a HAEGOE game when there's no reference of metal slug and puyopuyo Kappa. This review is based on main contents.
I played the pre-release version, and the game was already mostly finished, so I decided to be the tester and find the details maker missed. Overall it was a very good adventure with decent difficulty, which is rare to see nowadays. I can see HAEGOE tried to avoid corridor platforming, and it definitely shows. (But I personally wish there were more trolls and traps.)
The bosses are very good as well. Major highlight is boss 6, very dynamic with various attacks. Only drawback is, the later bosses was a bit underwhelming, compared to boss 6. But it didn't harmed the overall quality so I won't deduct the rating.
I really liked the ending credit as well.
Rating for the main game is 8.4 and difficulty is 55.

This part of review is based on 100% clear with secrets and extra, followed by rating and difficulty.
I didn't noticed there were secrets until I played the final screen of final stage, and clues about 'there are secrets in this game'. Thankfully secret hunting is not unreasonable, most of them are not hard to find.
Secret 1: Actually can be hard to find, I suggest you should search an empty space after the trigger. Wish the placement trials was harder but it's only stage 1 so okay.
Secret 2: Easy to find. Who used this water in a recent needle game, and made HAEGOE use it in here? Kappa
Secret 3: Every object is placed there for a reason. Secret was very good and short challenge. Mediocre players would take a while.
Secret 4: Fake blocks very early in the stage. But I missed and did various dumb things that includes beating the stage multiple times and etc. I wish the gimmick was used in the main game, but still good for a single screen secret.
Secret 5: Every object is placed there for a reason Season 2. Secret can be hard due to random but I first tried it. Very good.
Secret 6: There's no secret in the main stage, I didn't noticed and did various dumb things Season 2. Just remember there's an extra room after beating the boss, and press the up arrow key. Also it's been a long time I dealed a secret boss that gives you secret item, probably after boshy and kill the guy. Very good boss.
Secret 7: Easy secret to find. The boss was decent, but I doubt anyone would choose aimed attacks.
Secret 8: Your mindset should be 'There's something suspicious in here'. There was only a corridor with 8 gates in the first version I tested, so I suggested a serious level design and HAEGOE did. Good secret, tho wish it was harder.
Secret 9: Very easy secret to find, and the first I found. Now I think about it, it's just standard needle so kinda underwhelming compared to other secrets. But due to concept of this stage, personally it was understandable.
Extra stage: Harder usage of gimmicks from main stages, with harder level design. Very impressive, and it really shows HAEGOE cared. It was the exact difficulty I wanted, but screen 3 and 5 will be troublesome to mediocre players, so be careful.
Extra boss: Counterattacks from sideways was annoying but okay. Phase 2 will be hard if you're not familiar with barrage. The dialogue after beating the boss was somehow very impressive so extra points.
Overall it was a worthy adventure with appropriate difficulty. Okay HAEGOE, I will give you good rating like you wanted, you deserve it. Truly, it's HAEGOE's magnum opus.
Rating for 100% is 9.1 and difficulty is 63.
Death - 2151, Time - 6h 09m 44s
(I tested the game and did various dumb things to find an error in level design, gimmick test, finding possible skip, dumb ways of secret hunting so don't be serious about my result, decrease it around 40~50%.)

Very inspiring game; it's gigantic yet I have positive thoughts for like 99% of it; there are multiple sections which classify in the top best platforming experiences ever. The quality makes the challenge and struggle all worth it. Makes you better as a player and possibly as a maker. Don't even need to tell people to play it, I'm the one late to the party.

Alphazetica is a wonderful 26-floor needle collab. With so many of my favorite makers in one place, it's perhaps a game I was destined to love, and it certainly fulfilled that destiny. The game starts out with needle that is in some ways basic, but makes up for it with smart pathing and really fun maneuvers. I felt that the game went from good to great once it reached the CN3 gimmick section. The gimmicks on display are used really well, with a lot of creative saves. I enjoyed having to figure out the brilliant pathing on a lot of these, and it felt just as good to execute. In particular, the gravity flipper moving line screen and the couple flying apple pattern screens were really fun. After this, the game has a final stage that again has really fun gimmick usage. The final screen had a creative gimmick that was really fun to play with.
Overall, this game is an easy recommendation to fans of gimmick needle. It has a lot of different stuff on display, and some really fun pathing.
