I think this is one of the most well-produced adventure fangames visually if not the most so. Every aspect of this game is literally stunning and serves as a showcase of what someone can achieve with custom visuals they spend dozens (probably hundreds) of hours working on. And it all comes together pretty nicely, making a very solid game indeed, but I do take issues with some of the actual gameplay segments that I felt necessary to mention in case they can help with future works.
First, the whole secret thing is cool, but only when they aren't required for the real ending of the game. At least in my playthrough, nothing really seemed to hint which stage you can find which item in once you unlock the teleport (unless I missed a hint), so it did come down to using a video to find them. I wish there was more of a tell to this item hunt, similar to NANG's glitched text on screens with secrets because otherwise, it makes getting True End quite a slog. That's also important to me because I felt as if True End was the best part of the game platforming-wise. Few other complaints come from many of the stages feeling almost too "similar" to each other, there are so many crushers and spike blocks and spinning pinwheels that make the saves kind of just do the same thing. There are also pretty weird segments using the gimmicks, and the V6 one was particularly unsavory to use almost entirely.
Despite those issues, the game still won me over. The final stage is truly what won me over though, I was not a zoom-in fan throughout the game until this area and it completely sold me on it. It's probably one of the best platforming stages I've done in a fangame. I can't even imagine the amount of effort put in to make this game as beautiful as it is, but man it must be more than what I gave in college. It's definitely elegant enough to showcase as a flagship title for incoming Fangamers interested in some great games.
Highly recommend it, well done Gwiz.

This felt like a beginner L-needle game with a plain but charming aesthetic and a lovely Touhou jazz song to play along to. One of the things I love most about dono games is that no matter how accurate the homage turns out to be, you almost always get a product that's full of appreciation and deeply playable. Usually approachable for beginners as well. I would recommend this game to people interested in the genre for the first time, or intermediate players looking for something light and cheerful while still on the precise side. That being said, it did not feel very 'Hades-like' to me, but 'like' genres are a whole symposium in and of themselves.

Figure like that holds up the mantle well. Great variety of bosses, needle, some gimmicks framed nicely with music and good theming. A must play! based_real

Don't take it seriously.
The biggest boss in the game is a well-known Chinese living area up,
This work is made to commemorate his completion of the sixth Iwanna.
The sixth I Wanna he completed was "I Wanna 1UP"
cheers to him!!
