Two short stages, two bosses and the well-known avoidance. The "puzzle" stage is dumb and bad, the one with the "can't stop" gimmick is pretty amusing, even if the boss is somewhat tedious with its amount of HP.
The avoidance is actually quite fun, were it not for one overly precise pattern attack that completely dominates the difficulty of the fight. It's a real shame, cause I otherwise enjoy the attacks and aesthetic of the fight a lot.

Hands down the most fun avoidance I've ever played. It's the only one at the time of speaking that I've spent over 20 hours on and the only 70+ avoidance I've ever beaten. It's relatively short though, just about 2 minutes.
Presentation-wise, this looks like any other barrage at first, but it keeps coming with new surprising elements as you keep going. This avoidance is all over the place in a good way. The music sync is fucking amazing and really adds to the flow of the avoidance.
Attacks are some of the most fun I've ever played with. The game doesn't really require alot of very precise movement and it's more about trying to figure out a strategy of where to go. The game features some visual challenge elements with the camera moving in special ways that adds to the challenge in a fun and engaging way.
Most of the pattern attacks aren't too hard to figure out and they feel incredible to pull off.
One thing I really appreciate is that alot of other avoidances usually have a really slow and boring start which makes it a chore to go through every time you die. This game is the exact opposite with the most intense parts being in the first 10 seconds of the avoidance. While this often leads to you dying alot in the beginning it ultimately lead to a more enjoyable experience that never got old.
Alot of my enjoyment also comes from the song-choice which despite listening to for 20+ hours never got old, especially when it was paired with the incredible visual sync.
Now while this is the most fun avoidance I've ever played, there are a lot of issues that sometimes make for some frustrating moments.
Because the avoidance is so high energy and intense, it sometimes leads to walling, or being blocked by RNG from reaching a safe zone. The bullets also go behind the floor which makes it harder to see if there's one coming from below. The middle part of the avoidance can also be really unfair or way too easy depending on how the bullets spawn. So while it isn't the worst balancing, there are definetly some attacks that could be changed to make it better.

7 portals leading to generic needle rooms, one of them is designed as a goner-like.
The latest rooms alternate between touch and shoot saves, the green colored saves being touch saves. It would be a much harder game but there's no save blockers, so mostly you can save after every jump. Two times there's a corridor of water inverts, one is with apples below (near the end of the goner room), one is slightly nerfed (the one in the screenshot with 4 downward planes).
Oh and one framing is disabled in water!
I enjoyed it.

Rating include E side.
Great collab overall, there are 6 stages by 6 different makers, all in there own style. Once you beat all of them, you unlock a new hub with some extra screens. Gonna talf about each one in the order I played them:
-LAWatson : Easiest area and maybe the most unique one, it mostly uses apples and backtracking. Visuals are cute and very pleasant to look at. It's sadly the shortest area, only 3 screens. E side is again apples shenanigans but with a new gimmick that allow you to stop the time. I would say that extra is better than main game here.
-arzztt : the best area in the game, with a solid use of vkid. Extra is also very solid, good job.
-Nader : cool area but far from being as good as the recent works from him (krypton and neon 3). I remember the first screen being the hardest and the most frustrating of his stage. Extra is a bit easier and feel more enjoyable.
-Skulldude : the hardest area in the game and also my least favorite. It uses vines and many tight jumps, which is something I don't really like, even if it's still enjoyable overall. Extra is easier and a bit better than the main game, still one of my least favorite.
-inferno : second best area of the game, it's built around triple jump. It has a very good flow and is very pleasant to play. Extra however, is way harder than the main game (and is btw the only area with a extra harder than the main game). The first screen is a one jump screen, and is very painful to play. At the time I'm writting this review, I'm still stuck on it but I looked at a video and the second screen looks good but very hard.
-egg : my second least favorite and one of the hardest area, it's a nice area overall but has some annoying stuff like transition screens being bad and confusing, a dick spike in the first screen and some saves have only one jump harder than the other. Extra is also quite hard, but doesn't look good, I'm on screen 1 second save and it starts with a very difficult and painful vine jump that doesn't makee me want to continue. Effects are also disturbing both in the main stage and in extra.
Overall, it's a good game with some ups and downs. You will certainly find something you like and because most of the main game is around 60-65, it's accessible for most people (skull and egg areas being the reasons why my rating is so high). I will update it if I manage to do egg and inf area.
If I had to rank them, I would say:
-main game : arzztt > inf > watson > nader > egg > skull
-extra : watson > arzztt > nader > skull
EDIT : I recently wanted to finally complete this game, and choose to start it from the beginning and my tolerence to trash might have lowered through years but egg normal stage was way way worse than in my memories and full of shits that shouldn't have passed testing including : dick spikes, jumps involving 2 screens, saves that play like cramped corridor needle from 2012, stupidely tight drop, choke jumps. I won't lower my rating because on the contrary I liked skull normal stage, nader normal stage and egg extra more than in my first playthrough, but it really tanked my enjoyement of the game.
