You've made your point, 卑劣な人 ("Scumbag"). Very funny.
Points for the title being "scrolling grid".

For: I wanna be the Catharsis
Catharsis is one of the few fangames I've played with a fully realized artistic vision. The game oozes a dark, oppressive atmosphere, with meticulously chosen music and backgrounds (did you recognize the black and white photo of a nuclear test? because it's there). Hiddow has a masterful eye for spike placement, and some levels are works of art in their own right. Even while working almost exclusively in monochrome, there's a haunted beauty to most of these screens.
The level design itself starts off with a fairly reasonable difficulty curve, which later becomes somewhat arbitrary, oscillating between trivial and very difficult. Not all screens are perfect, either - I'm looking at you, moving platform screen - and the artistry becomes a bit more hit-or-miss as the difficulty increases.
Still, this is one of the few games that stuck with me for so long after playing it purely for its artistic value, and I'd recommend it to anyone (assuming you like fairly challenging needle).

A short and easy needle game with nice visuals. The music, however, is pretty bad and does not fit the game at all.

A challenging needle game with original level design. My only gripe with it are the visuals in the first part of the game (black background with white wire mesh tiles), which I found difficult to stare at after a short while. Besides that, I had fun with this one.

One of the first needle games I've beaten. Unfortunately, the majority of the game's difficulty lies in the drop on the second screen. The rest of the game is not as challenging.

There's a few stages, some with gimmicks (underwater, inverted controls, infinite jump, etc.) and a boss at the end of each. It has a story, apparently, with anime/touhou characters all over the place. The intro is pretty cool.
Everything is very easy, including bosses, there's avoidance too, and a very special and unique final boss.

Needle game with really small rooms with 1 jump in each of them. Difficulty curve is all over the place, and some of the jumps are repetitive "squished" style jumps. If you collect the item you get a bonus room with a double invert...lucky you.

One of my favorite Kyir games. It's fairly short, but fairly fun, and the Super Meat Boy sprites are cool. The musics are also great, and the boss is...Well, it's somewhat good. Not too hard overall. Would recommend.

Nice fangame. Has some nice gimmicks, and the stages are mostly well-designed (Although I can't stand the speed+ gimmick). I actually find the RNG platforms to be overhyped. Sure, they're annoying, pretty much pointless, and it takes around 10 minutes to get a decent RNG. But they're not impossible as many claim. There are plenty of harder parts in the game. The boss at the end is a avoidance that takes around 15 seconds. Nothing too rough, although the attacks are fast, and the way it ends is funny. Would recommend.

Being this an avoidance made by Kyir, I guess most people will easily guess what gimmick is featured at this avoidance. Yes, jump refreshers. You have to dodge stuff while carefully using the jump refreshers that will fall from the top of the screen, so that you won't end falling in the spikes below. It's fairly hard, but not too long, and there isn't much RNG, so most of it is just about learning the pattern. Not sure if I would recommend, but if you like jump refreshers, go ahead.
