It's not possible for me to give a very objective review of this game, considering I know the creator personally and like them a lot. That being said, it is just a single screen of jtool needle, but I feel like cLOUDDEAD vastly understimates how hard that middle jump w/ the shuriken shape is for the average player. It's more or less the centerpiece of the screen, and it actually caused a small debate in the #jtool channel about whether or not it was possible. In practice, it's really fun, and to be frank, I would love to see more 'highly playable' needle from this creator. There's a palpable sense of emotion, or reaching for emotion, that mimics the best precedents already set in somber yet expressive poetic needle games. Obviously I am reading a lot into just one screen, but I guess that's sort of my schtick. From the player's perspective, this is essentially a small cover letter: a little bit of paper shoved under the door saying "Am I good enough to come in yet?"
Yes. You are. Welcome aboard. :)
The song is an instrumental of The Fray's 'How to Save a Life', and I like that song a lot, so I liked its implementation. The tileset choices are Catharsis-esque without being directly derivative. And the gate at the end warmed my heart, even though it meant the journey was over.
Hope to see 'happyboy' needle some time in the future.

I honestly am not sure what I just played, this really does not feel like it was made in a Gamemaker 8 engine. There are so many extravagant and subtle details going on here, such as an insane intro cinematic, reflective tiles, and visual effects that I think this is one of the best-looking fangames. Some of the platforming does feel a bit lower than everything, but to make up for it you get some insane segments that aren't present in any other fangames.
I think this is a real step in evolution for what fangames can be capable of, this feels like a proper showcase for renex's engine, as well as a museum of different effects and visuals that makers can be inspired by. To say it again, the game also has reflective tiles, which I think is one of the coolest tilseets I have ever seen. The bosses are also very interesting as they are different than normal works, so it's worth playing to experience them.
Definitely recommend this one.

Indeed, a simple (and short) adventure game, with a fancy guy rock remix added to the mix.
Gimmicks are used in simple ways, with a very slight puzzlish aspect, even though most screens are pretty linear.
It does use a lot of spinny shuriken spikes as obstacles, a bit vairety could have been appreciated.
