Rating includes the extra stage & avoidance.
When I booted up the game I had high hopes for this game. The presentation was good, traps were somewhat limited but tolerable and the gimmicks overall were cool. I had that feeling up until I got to stage 3, where that hope quickly crumbled into pieces.
PomuRin normally makes very good stuff like he showed off in Conscience but here it's very lacking. Cool and intuitive gimmicks have to make place for awful needle setups, annoying traps and something that turned into a grindfest. The difficulty is all over the place, some saves took me ~10-15 minutes to beat and most of the time the next one takes me within less than 2 minutes.
Stage 3 had some alright gimmicks and most of the platforming was okay, but the entrance and exit into the secret of this stage can be very annoying. The last screen just screams why. It gives you the invisibility gimmick but with precise 1 block jumps all over and spikes that raise out of the ground. Spamming Z helps a little but even then it's still very hard to beat the save.
Stage 4's stage again once again was very intuitive, but this time the second half of the stage turns way harder than it should be. The save where you have to backtrack a bit and eventually move right with a spike wall chasing you was atrocious. For me the water felt like it was against me and made jumps a lot more harder than they normally are. This stage introduces a gimmick where you can shoot various switches scattered around the stage to move the tide of the water, and you use this to move to places you can't normally access to. Unfortunately this part of the stage starts at the second half, so all my issues I had above apply here. The secret is also pretty cryptic, where you have to hit a certain ceiling in order to go up to where the secret room is. This could easily be overlooked if you don't know where it is.
The extra stage had some really unenjoyable platforming starting at the 2 platform saves. It takes a very long time to go from save to save because of the spinning spikes that have very uncomfortable hitboxes. The tide gimmick of the previous stage also returns for this stage but this time instead of hopping onto boxes you hop on boats this time. I feel like this time it showed off it's capabilities really well but once again the sheer precision you have to execute on every jump became very tiring.
The extra avoidance was somewhat fun actually! It isn't too complicated aside for a few attacks that are a bit meh but they all have strats that once you figure them out they should rarely if not at all bother you anymore. There's the iconic K2 attack where everything homes in on you which might take you the longest if you don't know how to do it successfully yet, but when you do you'll beat it in no time.
I just can't seem to agree with other people's reviews for this game. The needle in this game is very lacking and the game experience overall was just subpar. There's just too much bad stuff that unfortunately consists of the majority of the game, and even some of the good moments like stage 1, stage 2 and the extra avoidances won't justify making game look any better.
Not recommended.

For: I wanna be the rainbow MIKU
For: I wanna be the rainbow MIKU
Rating includes all secrets and the extra Miku avoidance.
A pretty old fangame featuring 7 stages based on the colors of the rainbow. Each stage may vary a bit, one features a ton of traps while the other features water needle or just pure needle. Every ending of a stage features an Miku avoidance. You need to beat each of them to beat the game. There is also a secret in every stage, which is required to access the final Miku avoidance at the end. The Miku's also vary a bit in what they have to offer, but all of them contain a mix of RNG and pattern. They all manage to be unique in their own right and I appreciate that.
There are a couple of moments which I didn't like at all. The blue stage has water physics which feel very heavy, thus making simple movements quite a bit harder than they should be. The reason I'm mentioning is that to access the secret in the stage you'll have to backtrack back and forth and the save features a couple of gates which felt very obnoxious to pull of everytime.
A few avoidances also had moments where getting lucky RNG is key to beating them. In the green Miku fight early one there is an attack where a bunch of pink fruits spawn on the screen and bounce around through the entire field, and when that attack ends all of the fruits launch directly towards you. It can be unpredictable the first time but once you know it exists it's just a matter of not getting closed in by the fruits that bounce around, or else you'll get shot to death in notime.
The final avoidance is veeeeeeery boring. It's an almost 7 minute long avoidance with long attacks and painfully awful RNG-heavy attacks. 90% of the time it felt like it wasn't even my fault, since I had nowhere else to go right before I died. Near the end of the avoidance there is an attack where a flower spins around and enlarges more and more until it leaves the screen. It can be a bit annoying to learn, especially because that attack happens around ~6 minutes in. It's way too random to be enjoyable and unfortunately lowered my rating a bit.
It's an oldschool game with classic avoidances and basic but enjoyable needle. Most of them fail in the fairness department, but if you can overlook that there are some neat avoidances for you to beat.
Would probably recommend it.

a weird micro chasm of 2000s internet culture. its obviously quite dated, but it can be pretty fun. also one of the secrets requires you to use the mouse which is kinda dumb ngl. game is pretty easy for the most part, until you get to extra (which is required if you want to finish the game). there’s a reason k2 nerfed the big kid fight.

35 precise/technical jumps. Requires especially cancels and bunnyhops. I recognised a bunch of jumps from other games.

6 stages each with 1 item at the end of the stage and 1 secret item, hence the game title. You need the secrets to beat it
