For: I wanna break the Series Z 2 Remake
So this game has a shadow on it. Some people really thinks this game kinda not deserved to be mentioned because it's non-permission remake of original Z2. However, i disagree. When we talking about remaking Z2, we know about subject. Z2 is not great, good or even remotely decent game. It's pretty much unfinished, untested, disbalanced and annoying piece of garbage. Making this game better without strong interference in design of screens and trying to reflect spirit of original areas is quite accurate and hard work. And makers of Z2 remake complete it succesfully by making one of the best and fun medley games ever. So, idk, i don't even know how people can stand on hating this game
About game itself, it's pretty freaking good. Strong side of the game is bosses and avoidances, pretty much all of them are fun. Especially of course Final boss, it's very interesting boss with 2 unique phases that requires both some learning and reading, with really good vibes and atmosphere during the fight. Other honorable mentions - Haegoe area, which is one of my favourite barrages ever, Jebal-Ggaera area, which is one of my favourite Miku-avoidances ever, and PDPlayer pit, which is just extremely fun barrage. I also really like 4 boss, music slaps, but i wish it can be harder, feels kinda too easy after takedown bossrush. Probably, only boss that i didn't like in this game is Gumi from Catastrophe, but that's like might be my issue - i don't like music and i don't stomach long avoidances with patterns at the end
Needle from first 4 stages is kinda not that great as bosses, but it still manages to be enjoyable and not trigger player at any point. Gray apples are interesting to find out and collect, they are placed in good way. Secrets are kinda easy, which i didn't like, but secret 4 was fucking awesome, good pick and great reimagination! Guest needle stages are mostly fine, not specifically awesome, but very good and has good ideas in it and decent balance. Final stage is awesome tho, great gimmicks and fun gameplay
And this is how i feel about this game. It's just fun and complex, feels rewarding to beat and making progress in it. My lasts words will be: you shouldn't love this game because it's basically perfect Z2, you shouldn't hate it as well

I'm not really a fan of such copy clones like this even conceptually, but heh we have what we got. Overall, this game is pretty similar to infamous Kamilia 1, production value is about on the same level, design of needle is also quite same - first stages are mostly filled with traps and the later ones are needle-based. Surpsingly, exactly later stages was pretty bad, especially screen from Kill the Guy with a lot of drop gates in row and extremely chockable segment at the end, and also screen from Test my Control, which has horrible vine climb. There was some good pick tho, especially on stage 3 like Myself, Galaxy, Don't Gay (lol)
Bosses are kinda bright ray in this game. Don't misunderstood me, they are not great, but they are kinda fun and enjoyable to play overall. I quite enjoyed Cheetahmen, Pac-Man and Final boss specifically
So in general, probably, not worth your time, but if you wanna spend some time with old classic or beat trilogy in correct order, have a ride. At least, i think this game is kinda slightly underrated; it's bad, but not thaaaaat bad after all

It's a somewhat decent Needle game that uses a bit of a mixture between regular and miniature spikes in order to create a bit of a cramped aesthetic before opening up near the end.
I thought it was alright, though a bit of it felt somewhat uncomfortable, especially the water usage. I also think the main problem of the game comes from the visuals, the theme of it is a cave and the maker decided to, unfortunately, portray this by making both the background, tileset, and spikes gray with little variance in the shadings; this creates a bit of a visual challenge throughout the game that makes it easy to die stuff due to not seeing the screen properly.
Not sure I'd recommend it really, there's nothing all that special about it, and the visuals kind of work against the game.

This is one of Ef's best Untitled games and has a focus on Vine and Water usage. I find it to be extremely creative, and enjoyed the vast majority of it.
An important aspect of the game to me is the visual presentation of it, it's incredibly beautiful and shows a little taste of what I'd want more Needle to be like, and this was still a short game for it. The music also adds a great feel to it as well, thus creating this "windy" atmosphere you play in. The needle design equally matches this by having you vining all over the place, which is something I find pretty admirable.
I'd definitely recommend it, there's a lot to like about something this short.
