Compared to GR, the other Ruktio game featured in K2, this game is even rougher. I think the game reaches some higher highs but is less remarkable on overage. The last couple stages involving reverse gravity stood out as highlights to me, though because of the weird engine, the jump and fall animations are switched around when upside down which makes some moments superfically more awkward to me. I felt like this is the game where Ruktio started to gain an understanding of what he was doing, and you can feel it, since generally the design gets better as it goes. This game of course has a rather infamous thick water stage where it becomes more difficult to see the kid in water the further in you get. I say more difficult because even at the end it is technically possible to see the kid. Some people love it, most generally dislike it. I personally don't feel too strongly about it one way or the other.
I actually think the bosses are better than GR by quite a bit. The final boss feels like an interesting risk assessment and is remarkably consistent even though it's quite difficult to figure out. I think by the time it was over, I liked this game about as much as GR and it made me excited to experience some of Ruktio's other games.

Given its age, I was surprised at how much I enjoyed the platforming of GR. I can definitely feel the rough spots when I play but it's genuinely an extremely forward-thinking needle game for its time and in some ways it still holds up to scrutiny today. The bosses are fucking bad and the final boss alone I think is a major contributing factor to the idea that Rukito can't actually make decent bosses. I don't believe this to be the case, especially for some of Rukito's other works, but it definitely is an accurate assessment here.
For me the final boss was still fun despite how bad I knew it was. I think if you don't take it too seriously and go in with the expectation that it will take a while to clear and may not be a perfect experience you can still have fun. It basically doesn't matter until the last couple hits of the fight when the final attack shows up, because its a lot to manage on top of everything else the boss throws at you. Would I recommend GR? I think with some caveats you could feasibly have a good time with it, but it does require you to approach it with a certain mindset that I think a lot of people don't have. Me personally though I think it was worth my time.
