Solid needle game with interesting pathing.
The game overall is pretty lengthy but stays fun throughout. I wasn't a fan of the final jump refresher screen; it required too many full-jumps for my liking. The rest of it is really fun though.

A forgotten gem from 2012, MAo Trap is an interesting take on a medley game. The hub is a classic adventure open-world stage select albeit a bit small, and the levels are medleys of games, such as a LoveTrap stage or a Heaventrap stage. You beat the medley stages and collect the required secrets, then move on to a final few stages.
Production value is fairly low as you would expect, mostly using tilesets from classic games. MIDIs are plentiful as well, but the few original stages do have passable visuals.
I don't have much to say about the platforming other than it's mostly hard needle and there was a surprising lack of traps. Other than 1, the secrets were all in fairly creative places and the stages are short so secret hunting wasn't too painful. The original stages were also good, with what even felt like a decent spotlight gimmick in one of them.
The bosses were easily my favorite part of the game, being original takes on bosses from the games being medleyed (is this a word?). I enjoyed pretty much every single one of them and in some parts even felt like they were better versions of the originals. The game does end on a long avoidance, but you're given dotkid and it felt very fair for nearly its entirety. Not much to complain about in this department!
It's honestly remarkable how much I enjoyed this game's ideas and execution. Although the platforming is nothing special, if you can handle the difficulty then I think you'll have a great time with this one.
And everyone needs to watch the intro.

Contains some of the best dotkid needle I've ever played. It's worth clearing just for that. The regular platforming is good, though not great.
