It's bigger, better, and way more chill than its predecessor, with as much as an upgrade as steak is to bacon bits. Comprised of a healthy serving of gimmicks, bosses, and a pretty intuitive design, it's definitely a big entry in the Needleventure world.
The majority of the game is spent collecting items from 3 stages you can enter in any order, each being designed around a particular gimmick. The stages are pretty diverse, with one of them being centered around the Pastel spike gimmick, another based off of shoot/jump triggers on spikes, and finally one based around V6 Kid. That last stage is a monumental success in my eyes in particular, and features one of two beasts within the game. Each stage ends with a boss, and they're all fairly simple and use the stage mechanics well, once again the V6 stage excels in having the best boss too. There's also a final stage after those which starts to mix in all the gimmicks, and once again busts out another beast at the end followed by a boss.
This is definitely one of arzztt's best works, and if you love stuff like VoVoVo or Save my Boy then you will love this, and if you haven't done those yet either then do them next. Highly recommended!

Rating based on all Endings.
After a long period of calm meditation, Kyir has truly reached jump refresher enlightenment, this is the best usage of them I have ever played so far in a fangame. The platforming is incredibly smooth and intuitive, the aesthetics are simple yet striking, and the overall mood of the game is powerful.
At its surface, REDACTED is a game all about jump refreshers, and they absolutely are in basically every segment of platforming throughout the journey. An important detail about the ones here is that Kyir uses a special sprite for them that actually makes them larger, which is one reason I think the game is way better than most jump refresher needle. There are also some unique gimmicks thrown in the mix every now and then, such as Anti-Jump Refreshers and Zero-Gravity Fields. I was a big fan of the anti refreshers in particular due to the pathing they created, but I disliked the rabbit gimmick a lot due to how many times there were sections you needle to cancel your rise in. There's also an avoidance near the end, and I wasn't too big of a fan of it myself, it has a lot of nothing at the start, moving gate jumps, and a pseudo infinite jump section with jump refreshers placed everywhere that felt super awkward.
But deeper in the game comes a sense of mystery and intrigue in the form of a storyline. You're in this mystery laboratory that seemingly makes jump refreshers, and a voice speaks to you throughout your journey. It's a pretty compelling narrative to follow since it ever feeds you more than you need to know in order to keep everything as one big build-up. If you want to experience the true ending, you do need to find various secrets that can be hard to find so I recommend asking someone for assistance, otherwise, you will need to replay stages. The ending sets up what could be the potential finale of this series started in Celestial Jump, which would have been called Defy the Director, so hopefully Kyir will finally release it one day so a true conclusion can be reached.
Overall, this is an amazing game, and if you can get your hands on it somehow you should absolutely play it. Kyir is the true God of Jump Refreshers.
