Sugar is an interesting game, filled with unique ideas that stand the test of time on their own, but not so much the execution that accompanies them.
The game follows the usual classic adventure game system of hub with a stage select, with a boss on the end of them. It also has secrets, and boy are they secret. I found a couple by complete accident, but I would have never been able to find some of the more, uh... colorful ones in some of the stages. Use a guide, basically.
Sugar mostly eschews strict movement based gimmicks outside of one stage, which I'm personally a fan of. It's mostly different types of platforming that you'll interact with, and the one movement based stage is actually really cool. It restricts movement based on color, but not too much, just a direction. It makes for some very cute traps and brain fuckery.
What I think holds Sugar back is that... the game is really tedious. I feel like every single save in this game is either in the air, seconds away from any real platforming, or both. The secret keys never have a save in them, so god forbid you die and have to do half or all of a given screen to reach it again. Luckily the game isn't too hard, but every death feels like its worth hundreds because the game seeks to waste your time at every moment. Most of the secret warps are screens worth of backtracking after finishing something already aswell.
This comes to a head at the last stage of the game, which is >>16<< straight screens of rather easy platforming that is designed to make you hate your life should you die. I have no real idea why anyone would think this is a good idea. It's not really satisfying to do, but horrible to fail at.
And honestly, despite the praise I give it, most of the platforming in the game both doesn't last very long and is kind of forgetable at the end of the day. I can barely remember a lot of the screens from the earlier stages aswell, just that dreary feeling of retrying a secret. While varied, there's just not a lot that sticks with you or goes very far with any idea. Sadly, it's just... not very fun most of the time, outside of about 3 stages.
So, yeah. I thought the EX Boss was really cool, but I couldn't really bring myself to do the avoidance. The game just wasn't worth it at that point.
If you're more patient than I am or find more fun in sheer variety than execution, then you'll probably get more out of this than I did. But I found it to be kind of a let down.

As the name suggests, it's just one screen of simple, easy needle, complete with guyrock and the standard brown blocks.
The game will be finished quicker than the download.
