MELTDOWN is a pretty well known adventure game, although it would really be better classified as "needle with optional avoidances". The game structure has several needle stages, each one culminating with a "boss" where you can choose between a needle stage and avoidance. For reference, I chose the avoidance for each. At the end, there is a mandatory avoidance, although it is a good deal easier than the last optional one, so it shouldn't be too scary if you've been choosing needle up to this point.
My main gripe with the game is the needle, it really hasn't aged well imo. Especially as it gets harder, it relies more on unfun jumps, notably a lot of named jumps such as corners and diamonds. It also has a lot of low jumps, including several mandatory two frames. There are never any major gimmicks, just some really basic usage of triggers and some water/platforms. The water is particularly poorly used, often just being low jumps out of small bits of water. Frankly, I wouldn't recommend this game unless you are good enough to make the needle relatively easy, as it really dampened my experience even getting through it quickly, I couldn't imagine being stuck on it.
The avoidances are somewhat of a highlight. The first two are pretty trivial, but they're still cool. Three is a bit harder, but it's a lot of fun despite it's simplicity. Four, the final optional one, was the hardest part of the game for me. It's a really fun fight, with lots of cool attacks. However, it has the potential for some really nasty RNG, with a lot of attacks that could screw you over, even late into the fight. I still enjoyed it though, and thankfully it's not terribly long. The final boss is probably the best part of the game. It's fun, has cool attacks, and is pretty well balanced. I'm glad it was mandatory, as it's well worth playing.
I was a bit disappointed that the game seems to tease you with a story, having a bit of text and an antagonist at the beginning. However, that's pretty much completely dropped after that, with no more text, and nothing else that really adds to the story.
Overall, I would tentatively recommend this game to good players. The needle isn't completely abhorrent, it's fine if you can breeze through it. And the avoidances are definitely a highlight, I had a lot of fun with them and consider them worth going through the needle.

While nothing was really oustanding or amazing here, there is nothing really bad here as well, which is honestly quite solid checkmark for such a huge needle collab. Needle stages are decently varied, production value is on point and system where you can leave stage and progress is saves is based and should be required for collabs like this (even tho i still progress in traditional way by doing stage by stage without leaving)
About individual stages: i quite enjoyed Xp and Shadow stages, which were trigger-oriented with clearly some inspiration from Rukito and they were just enjoyable honestly. I also remember Chance stage has very funny twist at the end. I remember Torore stage was pretty cool. I remember Shimmer stage was also pretty cool, despite being on precision side, and so was Man stage. I remember Mirror stage has some fun shit as well as TheWWworld stage, even tho they has lowpoints as well. I also remember i quite disliked Wind stage for being just insanely long for no good reason and BigUniverse stage which has weirdchamp balance, where hardest saves were worst as well
About hardest stages - seVenes stage was probably hardest at peak and in general. Q123 stage was also pretty intense. Also both of this stages has a lot of gravity-switch needle (which is solid part why are they so hard). STAB stage and Coffee stage has some rough shit, and also Mirror stage and BigUniverse stage were pretty damn hard
All in all, this was solid experience. My usual way of playing this - when i was bored and just want to play mindless needle, this was one of my number 1 pick. You can call it fastfood needle - sure why not, but this game doing it's job great still. Once i got to special stages i kinda went ham on the rest of the game and was not disappointed as well. Overall, it's fun game
