The main difficulty of this game comes from its bosses. The stages, although there are plenty, are all far shorter and easier in comparison. I did like most of the stage gimmicks and half of the boss fights were pretty entertaining and fun. But man the ones that sucked, sucked baaad.
I can name the icycle boss for example where the attacks mostly overlapped and some just gave you next to no time to react to what the boss was doing. Other bosses were just lengthy and tedious to fight. Overall not regretting having played this though.
Good game if you wanna improve at difficult boss fights.

Maybe with an extra save would have been better on the needle section to avoid the long walk back to the difficult jump.

One section is pretty tricky because of the precise hitbox of the blocks, and also because platforms don't carry you.
One precise placement between 2 bees and the rest is pretty easy in comparison.

extremely fun and simple neon game, not much else to it. I've cleared this game many times and each time it's been fun. there's only a few minor hiccoughs here and there, but it's all mostly smooth sailing. great game, nader never disappoints

For: Twenty-Seven
For: Twenty-Seven
Twenty-Seven is a fascinating game to me. On the surface, the game is just another needle game, it seems pretty wonderful inspired maybe with the song choices and minimalist aesthetic, but even then that doesn't really seem right, in fact the hardest part of this review for me is finding an adequate way to describe the game, so for now, in as simple terms as possible, 27 is a needle game with a lot of precise jumps.
The actual gameplay is unconventional, but in some senses is entirely conventional. Some might consider it named jump spam, and that's because it might as well be. There is no shortage of diagonals, corners, planes both up and down, and other jumps you see all the time in any 10 year olds I Wanna Maker map. The game is not afraid to throw some really obnoxious and inconsistent stuff even at the very end of a save, which is probably the most polarizing thing about it. 27 is a remarkably brutal game, not because it's the hardest thing ever, but because the nature of it. The difficulty curve basically doesn't exist, while the game is relatively consistent with it's difficulty, you can really never expect what is coming next in that regard. The first 3 stages are very average, but the next two throw very difficult and intricate 32 px needle at you, and after those the game goes back to easy. It creates a strange dynamic where after those two really hard stages, you are almost always on edge, knowing any temporary breaks the game gives you can be taken away before you even know it, it almost puts you on edge for the whole experience, because often in this game, it's the most random saves which are the hardest.
The game does relax a bit after stage 9, not because it gets easier, but because it just gets more consistent, there's basically no more easy saves besides a few oddballs, but in a sense it's comforting because you know the next save will challenge you, there's not really any surprises besides the new visuals and ahegao thing. I actually really like the turn the game takes in the hub area, it's really nice to play in my opinion, with some exceptions.
The negatives of this game are pretty simple, it can be very annoying at times. There's some saves like the first save of stage 5 which are just annoying, inconsistent, and tedious to play, and not really that satisfying to overcome. I think this is kind of inherent to this style of precision, not every idea is all that fun. I feel like to some the entire game is a negative, which brings me to my final points about what Twenty-Seven even is. While playing it, I thought of the game as a very apathetic needle game, but I don't think that's true. While the game certainly doesn't care about what needle is popular, or regarded as "quality" or "innovative," it's clear that there was a lot of effort put into the game. It's lengthy, it's diverse in visuals even with a bare bones production, the music choices feel very personal, and the title itself adds to this "personal" feel. This is not a game that people will tell you to make, it's probably not even a game most people would aspire to make, it's just a game someone WANTED to make, and I think that's cool. With that being said, it renders my evaluation of "apathy" completely wrong, and with that I have no way to describe this game.
I don't think I would recommend anyone play this, but at the same time I wouldn't stop anyone from playing it either. I think Twenty Seven really represents that there are no rules when it comes to making fangames, and that's what's so awesome about it. You can truly make whatever you want if you have the knowledge and time to do so, and while that creates some mind blowing things, it also creates some weird and unique things. Twenty-Seven is a simple, named jump spam needle game, but I've never played or seen anything quite like it yet, and for what it is, it's truly captivated me. It's not one of my favorites, but I do care about this game a lot.
