For: I wanna be the Crimson kid
Crimson Kid is a unique game that features triggers that change the player's abilities, and can range from things such as the ability to stand on platforms, shoot bombs, or triple jump. As many other reviewers may mention, the pathing throughout the game tries to focus on giving a puzzle feel, however I do think it falls short in many ways. For the most part, you'll spend a majority of your time trying to find the one singular option you can do at the moment because you will almost always need to get the different gimmicks in a certain order.
There are also a lot of issues with the game. For example, the tutorial for the flying kid is by far the worst screen in the game and actually took me longer than the screens afterward that actually use the gimmick normally. Other issues include the Spike Kid feeling extremely jank as well as Softlocks you can encounter throughout the game. Also, while I appreciate at the start you can change your tileset, I would have liked to have been able to change it again later in the game alongside the music, it feels weird that nothing aesthetically changes after Boss One. Finally, and this complaint may be coming from a skill issue, but the final boss is way harder than anything else in the game, and personally I found it unenjoyable.
As a Needleventure game, I would say it's pretty decent, but there are so many rough edges in it. As a Puzzle game, I would say it didn't really succeed that much in my eyes.

Proof of concept needle. The game is designed to be very tough corridor-ish needle, the first screen is free but the difficulty ramps up very quickly. The main "gimmick" of the game is that it completely makes you unable to numpad, while utilizing a lot of cancels, the prime example of which is the 7-long water invert save. While you can have a workaround with cancel scripts and macros, the game is intended to be done with shift cancels.
The needle itself is while interesting is really fucking bad, for example: save with 3 tough jumps the last being a PD invert, having to do a PTJ without numpad (this was completely horrible), last save being a double plane into a floor ex15. I might be overrating the difficulty of the save cause im bad at both jumps but it took me a long time so this is what i think of it.
Gotta point out that theres an actually possible leehe triple diamond which is quite something

Review and Ratings based on Ver. 1.10.
Right off the bat, this is the best floor-based Adventure game that I have played. The visual design of the entire game is amazing, and really shows the amount of passion that KittyGame put into their work. The gameplay is way more exciting than your traditional floor game, to the point that this clearly knocks stuff like Blowgame or Churatch out of the water completely. The bosses are pretty fun as well, with one of them being a quiz and another a short avoidance, alongside some normal ones as well. Upon release, this game was mentioned to be quite more difficult than people expected, however, based on the updates and playing it now, I think KG has made it quite smooth in the end. The final boss especially seems to be a lot less of a difficulty jump now, and I was able to beat it in just a few minutes as someone who's not that good at bosses, in fact Planterra actually took me way longer to beat due to its final phase. If I had one complaint about the game, it would be about the visibility issues in the next-to-last stage, alongside the random bullet bills that appear in it.
Overall, Panasonic Bluray proves that the floor-based style has incredible potential if brought to the modern era. Kale managed to revolutionize the Needle genre with it, and now KG has done the same for Adventure, well done!
