Old fangame with some interesting gimmicks and bosses.
Though my favorite stages were the needle ones. Well... minus one certain screen.
The gimmicks are very creative and though not my favorite stages they were also very good.
Unfortunately the bosses were very hit or miss for me, luckily the final boss was great!
All in all, it's a good game with some flaws, but still very much worth playing!
Also There are two jumpscares, the one behind the wall in the clear screen scared me to death

For: I wanna series Mixture relay 6
The 6th entry in the Series Mixture Relay series. This features a mix of interesting little gimmicks, a few puzzles segments and a handful of bosses to keep you entertained. There's a fair share of fun stuff in here and although I ended up feeling quite divisive about it, it's still a pretty solid little game.
The strength of the game for me lied in the platforming, which had some fun gimmicks such as a variety of enemies in the first stage which exploded into bullet patterns upon dying. This made for some fun little segments where you had to plan your safespots whilst taking the platforming hazards into account. I also enjoyed the chain reaction explosives in the later stage in combination with the kill-all-the-robot rooms. A couple did get a little frustrating due to the high number of enemies placed, but there weren't many cases of this.
There are a few bosses too, one of which has Carnival's signature style put into the visuals which is nice to see. Having said that, whilst I enjoyed the visual presentation and production I didn't actually have that much fun playing it which was unfortunate. It felt just sort of dull, particularly the mechanical segment where it just swaps sides and aims bullets at you and, that's sort of it until the next segment.
There's also a true final stage which you can access by checking your game directory after beating the game for the password. It's pretty fun platforming-wise, although the boss just felt like a mess despite the interesting time-stop mechanic. I had a hard time getting good at it and made lots of frustrating and silly mistakes, but even putting that aside I just wasn't a big fan of how it played. I'm sure a great deal of people would like it, but this along with the previous boss just really weren't enjoyable for me.
The self-made visuals are nice and there's some fun segments weighed down by some questionable parts, which will probably make it a little divisive. Still, it's a memorable game for sure and more than likely worth a try to see which side you'll go with.

Chloris is a pretty enjoyable adventure, lasting a few stages with a good mix of bosses and gimmicks to keep things fresh. Some parts feel reminiscent of older adventure in terms of trap-heavy segments, but with some more smooth surprises in store for later.
The traps are quite abundant but never felt too overkill, although if you're not a fan of traps in general then you might want to look elsewhere, as this is very much a key feature from this maker. I particularly enjoyed the final stage platforming, most notable a bounce-related gimmick which whilst rather simple was fun to play around. Saves often feel very different and not repetitive in design which keeps the game feeling new. Bosses are mostly done well, although a couple of attacks on the final boss in combination with the random spawn location can definitely cause some trouble.
The game also has extra, although I can't comment having not tried it out yet. It seems like more of the same thing though so if you enjoyed the adventure then you'll have even more bonus stuff to try out afterwards.
Worth a play if you're looking for a charming little adventure game and don't mind getting faceplanted by traps here and there.

For: I wanna be the Krypton

Krypton is a 36-room needle game, alternating saves between the two makers. It features a couple of extra gimmicks beyond just standard needle, such as dotkid and speed changing, as well as a handful of easter eggs thrown in for good measure.
The game flows very nicely and no saves stick out as badly designed or unbalanced, making for a very pleasant needle experience. The difference between Inferno's and Nader's styles is noticeable, but not jarring and makes for a good combination. I particularly liked the usage of dotkid and speed which made the platforming feel more fresh and interesting. I would've liked to see them perhaps elaborated on more for the final few screens, maybe a big combination of the gimmicks on a larger screen to reach the final warp, as I was left caught off-guard when the game had ended.
Overall a very solid needle game, as to be expected from two great needle makers.
Edit: Zwanzig informed me that he doesn't remember any speed-changing gimmicks in the game, and honestly neither do I. Still, I'll leave that in the review as a reminder to not wait long periods before reviewing games as your memory may deteriorate to dangerous levels by the time it comes around.
