I've really enjoyed the grind. The last save of 37 took me 3 hours, so yeah it's definitely not 74. 47 is easy if you are consistent with shift cancels. 58 is somewhat hard, but 59 takes the cake for being the second hardest save in the game.

I liked the camels, however the default cherry boss having 1000hp brought it down for me.
Yeah idk, I chilled in the boss room for a solid 6 minutes before resorting to decompiling to check its hp. This is one of many banger games to roll in roulette, turning your stream into a Just Chatting segment.

The game is by far one of the most obnoxiously designed fangames I have played, with 2 of the 3 bosses being absolutely atrocious. Cthuga is the worst interpretation of a Destination fight I have seen, with attacks sometimes disappearing after the attack ends and sometimes not doing so, an inconsistency that is crucial to not happen at all. Especially at the end of the fight, the boss is completely dead and yet the screen is just littered with cherries still even though you proved in most of the fight this wouldn't be the case. My bigger issue though comes in replacement of the "white phase", in which you have at timed mashing segment, which I find to be absolutely garbage and physically painful to my hand. Finally, you have once again another mashing segment, this time not timed luckily, but with infinite jump which is the worst combination possible.
The middle boss, L L, is also something I found to be absolutely terrible. You once again are encouraged to mash heavily to do damage, which comes as a big focus in the middle of the fight once the girl appears. She has such an obnoxious amount of health, and you have cherries following you for half her life, that mashing is the only feasible way to even survive. And of course later after her you return again to the main boss which you can just mash again.
The avoidance isn't so much of a pain, besides an unskippable intro each time it was easily the best of the 3, not because it was amazing but simply for not being garbage like those were. Most of the platforming is also some of the most generic 32-pixel stuff possible, the tech stage with triggers felt like an extreme lack of creativity. Out of the rest of the stuff in the game, most of the Black/White Spike gimmick was fine, the remixes of stuff like Frogger was nice, and the colored needle screens were okay.
Besides those parts though, I do not believe this game has held up at all, and truthfully probably not even in its own time either. The bosses are a mixture of mediocre to atrocious, with nothing really being interesting or enjoyable at all. Simple design decisions to include mashing segments when the creator has parts that do not include them makes it seem like the game was intentionally made unenjoyable at all, so I would not recommend anyone to play this at all these days.
Also the death sound is terrible too and led me to just muting the game entirely after a bit.

Экран нидла + достаточно несложный барражный авойд.
Нидл лёгкий; в принципе играется нормально, нравится тот момент, что можно выбрать разные пути через экран. Несколько смутило то, что может быть непонятно в начале, где конец экрана (проход в неправильную сторону тебя убивает), а также то, что нет сейва сразу перед первым прыжком(в результате чего тебе каждый раз нужно относительно долго идти до него). В принципе здесь для меня это не было особой проблемой, т.к. платформинг достаточно лёгкий, но - как совет - в более сложной игре это бы мешало намного сильнее.
Авойд приятный, чилловый, со спокойным треком; атаки хорошо подходят друг к другу и играются фаново, также достаточно хорошо используется формат арены с платформами. Визуалки хорошие, единственное, что лично по моему мнению, возможно, стоило бы чуть-чуть увеличить контраст между пулями и задним планом.
В целом, очень даже неплохо, особенно для первого релиза от этого автора. Рекомендую.

A screen of easy needle, followed by a chill barrage fight.
The needle just kind of there, it plays decently well, it's easy enough and there are multiple paths you can take which is cool; although some complaints are have are that it isn't immediately obvious where you're supposed to go to transition to the next screen(and going in the wrong direction kills you), and that there isn't a save immediately so you have to take a long walk from the start position every time you restart (this doesn't matter as much for easy platforming like this but could easily become a big problem in a more difficult needle game).
The avoidance is the meat of the game, being a nice, chill barrage fight to a relaxing song. The attacks are mostly fairly simple, although there are a few ones that are a bit more interesting. Overall, they flow well between each other and make good use of the platform layout, making for a fun experience overall. The visuals are also good and fit the song well, although I would personally increase the contrast on the avoidance slightly just to make it look a bit better.
Overall, would recommend. It's a solid first release from this maker, and I'm looking forward to seeing their future releases.
