Way better than I expected, this is a short-ish needle game that you could describe as "uhuhu spike with a triple jump". Nothing excessively hard but some jumps can be a bit tricky/annoying (double drop gate...). Other than that, it's really fun and I'd recommend it in a heartbeat!

This is game is a marathon of medium-very hard needle. Its pretty relaxing to just turn it on and spam shift/R in a half-hour session.
I have sinked in many hours in this game and the only downside I have experienced so far are the music choices which are not my taste. I didn't really mind and just pressed Ctrl+M to play my own.
If you are going to play this game. Please keep in mind that the difficulty is a complete rollercoaster. All in all, this game is extremely long, has a lot of variety in spikejumps and is extremely hard in the later parts.
I'm not a big fan of all the hype (why is a speedrun version even a thing?) but this game is something you should have played if you are an experienced plattformer.

Rating is based on Zako mode, because it works as the 'medium mode' and it's the only 'reasonable' difficulty in the game.
This is a fangame that looks a lot like a 'special' fangame, and I can imagine tons of screens from this game in Sudoku/2doku. However, it's just a poorly-made fangame. A VERY poorly-made fangame. Visuals are horrible, almost all the gimmicks are bad (Exception for the invencibility star at Mario's stage, that one isn't bad, although it isn't used in the best way), there's a stage with a sorta-of-road where you can just walk off the road and nothing will happen to you, and since all the obstacles are in the road...Exactly, easy win. Restarting music, bad level design...Oh, and an error save at the beginning that forces you to reset the game (Since the save's name is "error", I believe it was made on purpose. Which is really...Awesome.)
The bosses aren't any better. Yoshi is tedious as hell, and gets really hard at the end. The "do you believe in love" avoidance...Doesn't happen in the Zako mode, the music just plays until the end and nothing happens. And the food-summoning boss is the worst of them all, she teleports as soon as you shoot and you have to corner her with bullets (Basically, mashing), while dodging her attacks. To hit her once. Smithy and the last boss are just RNG-heavy, nothing too bad compared to the other bosses. And the Balloon Cherry follows the tedious concept of getting harder as his HP is depleted. Miki is the only nice-ish one, being a fun avoidance with a couple interesting attacks and a funny second phase.
There are some good things in this game, but playing through to find them is not really worth it. Highly not recommended.

Basically an avoidance, as your gun has auto-fire and automatically locks onto the boss (but can still not quite reach at certain distances).
Anyway, it's a fun fight, with some genuinely interesting RNG - you'll rarely see the same pattern twice. There are...15+?...attacks, and there will generally be 2 going on at once. This is combined with a random movement pattern of the boss and occasional modifiers that make the bullets move up, down, left, or right like a gravity shift (you'll be able to tell because the screen changes color). The particular pattern is (I believe) indicated by the number in the top left, although I haven't spent the time to decipher precisely what it means.
Like any RNG mechanic, it'll occasionally screw you with (sometimes literal) bullet walls and shitty transitions, but I found the game pretty fun regardless, and not excessively difficult.

Short and silly needle game with 3 or 4 unbalanced save points. Level design and music are meh, graphics are alright.
Not recommended.

Pretty relaxing and easy platformer. One "puzzle" part where i could not understand what to do because it was in a foreign language so i had to look it up otherwise this game is decent.
ps. If anyone know the song played in the credits please tell me.
