For: Full Techno Jackass
Full Techno Jackass is, as described in the creator review, an "adventure" game full of bosses. And what an adventure it is: The themes, music and visuals of what you're playing change at a breakneck pace, creating the oh-so-familiar sensations of anticipation of what comes next, the wonder in never knowing what's just around the corner, the novelty of the range of experiences on offer, that have been the centerpoint of titles such as I Want or Burnmind.
Unfortunately, there is a massive oversight in the attempt to create this feeling: The gameplay, or more specifically the avoidances. While a couple of avoidances do stand out a bit, they all feel extremely similar. The usage of the sphere bullets and the exact same trails in every single avoidance takes away much of their identity, leaving only the occasional easter eggs and the color scheme to try and make them feel unique; The widespread usage of some of the most generic RNG attacks - ones that require so little attention to read due to how easy the game is and how common they are - seals the deal. While some of these feature minigames with their own gameplay entirely detached from fangames, these are far too easy to be significantly memorable, and do not address the core problem. By the halfway mark, I knew I wasn't gonna get anything interesting out of the avoidances, and the game hasn't managed to prove me wrong.
Once the premise is broken, the illusion crafted by the themes and visuals begins to fade, and while they do remain interesting and unique in their own right, they no longer hold the same allure, and so what we're left with is the core gameplay. As for how it stands on its own, it is definitely quite enjoyable. The avoidances themselves are chill and for the most part sight-readable, making for a pretty smooth experience. While I feel like in many cases the songs are significantly more dynamic than the avoidance is, and a bit more could have been done, I can't say that the long barrage attacks detract from them. The needle is a tad cramped for my liking in a few places, and there are a couple stages with visibility issues, but other than that it's excellent: has a healthy mix of free-flowing and slightly more constrained gameplay, a good balance in input complexity, and frequently features light gimmicks where appropriate. Overall, when it comes to the gameplay, there's nothing to say except that I had a great time.
While I was disappointed with the execution of the main premise, especially since avoidances do make up the majority of the game's content, the content itself is definitely more than enjoyable enough to make me still like the game in the end. I don't know if I'll go out of my way to recommend it, however I'd definitely say you should give it a go if you're interested, provided you do not expect more than the game has to offer.
