For: I wanna Sunspike
For: I wanna Sunspike
(5/7/2021) No longer agree with my original review here. After the gimmick revolution of 2019 and being exposed to many more games from around the same time of Sunspike I've actually started to grow an appreciation for it and what it did for the fangame community. The sphere is absolutely iconic and the fight as a whole I feel really pushed the idea of making avoidances not just fun to play but a blast to watch.
Yeah perhaps the needle isn't the most creative or the boss could've been balanced better, but it is still fun to play. You can find enjoyment in less then perfect games, some of my favorite fangames in fact have some stuff I don't like (Kermit 2 has the 32px and Genki stages, Meteor Stream is filled with insta-gibs, Get Rekt has a lot of ehhhh or boring picks in stage 3, Fishing Temple is Fishing Temple, ect.) Frankly I feel my original review was just saying "hey! this game has issues!" without thinking about if these issues actually make the game unfun to play (which to me anyways, they don't).
Anways to get back on topic, Sunspike is a fun game. If you have the skill and don't mind some dated design I would definitely recommend it. There is fun to be had, and I feel that is all that matters when it comes to games.
Below is my original review.

This game is honestly really bad.
The Needle is really generic and uses a lot of named jumps, not that there is anything wrong with named jumps, you just gotta use them in interesting ways, which this game doesn't most of the time.
The Avoidance is pretty, and the music is Fantastic, but that is about all the good things i have to say about it. The fight itself is RNG heavy (although with some really annoying pattern), and not in a good way. You will often get walled and there is nothing you can do about it, especially in the second chorus. But that isn't the worst part of this boss, the worst part of it is the Sphere, which is a insanely learny attack at the very end of this RNG-Fest of a boss.
I don't get all the hype about this game
