This game reminded me a lot of Rukimin, which also features great production value that fails to distract from the game being utterly unfun to play for most of it.
Stages 1 and 2 are the best part of the game, solidly executed trap stages with some real scamp moments. The bit with the Minecraft enemies in stage 2 is a bit dumb, but nothing too bad.
The first boss is a very basic fruit boss, with the "gimmick" of the visuals becoming crap as you go. Basically a sudoku boss.
The second boss is the best boss in the game, which is saying EXTREMELY little, but it is genuinely pretty cool. It destroys the blocks you're standing on gradually, so you have to work around that and kill it before you lose your footing entirely.
My feelings on everything beyond this point all fall between mild frustration and seething hatred. The latter is the case for stage 3, which requires you to use the mouse to spawn blocks and later on draw platforms. This is one of the worst things I've ever played in a fangame. The problem is that most of the sections are timed or force mouse use mid-jump, necessitating either a third hand or a massively awkward control setup. The last screen is the worst part, but the entire stage before that already made me question my life choices. The boss is also a bad idea made worse by barely functional mechanics. The entire stage stands as a shining example of putting something in because you could without considering whether you should.
Stage 4 gets back to trap game basics, but with some visuals that, while pretty, make some of the platforms kind of confusing. It also bumps up the difficulty by adding stuff like squished gates, forced 2-frames and really long saves (at least on the recommended hard mode), which really doesn't feel like it belongs in this type of game. The boss is a rhythm minigame that is just pure tedious memorization. Lovely.
Stage 5 is vastly longer than all the other stages, and mostly revolves around cycle-based platforming. It's better than the previous two stages, but still suffers from a few overly precise jumps and some real headscratchers like having to hit a button through a tiny offscreen gap and a dumb conveyor room. The final boss has four attacks (plus a final phase super move), one of which is just a huge timewaster that you can't do damage during and one of which has a hard to learn timing that you need to get very consistent at if you want to live through it at all because he always does it four times in a row. It's not good. There's an extra stage (just platforming) if you collect a secret in each stage, but I had no idea these existed till the last stage, so...no.
I don't really understand the praise I've seen for this game. The last few stages get too bogged down by the increase in needle difficulty for it to be an amusing trap game, there's really only one particularly unique stage and it's the worst part of the game, and the bosses are nearly all terrible. Give this one a miss.

Very fun adventure game with some really cool mechanics like dice roll platforming, red coin collecting, gravity/control changing, and spike hitboxes being misaligned from their sprites which makes for some gBrain platforming and traps. For an explanation behind how the pink and green spikes work, pink spike hitboxes are shifted 4 blocks to the left, and green spike hitboxes are shifted 4 blocks to the right. The bosses are okay, nothing special, except for 1 avoidance which was simple yet enjoyable.
Would recommend! Really don't understand what's up with all the joke reviews because this is honestly a very good game overall.

You get 20hp for a short avoidance. Cleared first try, not that hard.

You might as well just click the clear box for this one. Geo and Shoe summed it up perfectly. It's bad.
If you want to get the clear screen, jump to the left on the first stage, and jump up the text to the top-left corner.
Also, the clear screen is really laggy. Not sure about that.

It's not that good. The bosses are dumb, the gameplay is dumb, and there's no music, not even guy rock.
At least it's kinda cute.
