There's little to be said about Crimson that hasn't already said, but I like the sound of my own voice so here I go.
Crimson is a game that is most certainly not for everyone, but even still I don't think it deserves the constant lambasting it gets these days. Even as an enjoyer of the game, it's far from perfect. There are a lot of annoying flying spikes, poor needle choices, and one secret that seems impossible to find without a guide (gravity castle). However, there's also a lot of fun platforming mixed in. It's not great needle by modern standards, but given the release date I was pleasantly surprised. I find myself enjoying the classic style of needle more these days, and this game executes it well enough of the time I found it on average good. The secret hunting is mostly fun if you like these types of secrets, but I know most people loathe them. Overall, the platforming is a mixed bag, with some stuff that's pretty awful, but a lot of stuff that's really enjoyable if you're the kind of person who likes old needle.
Onto the bosses. The bat boss is horrible, vile, and despicable. The final boss however is one of the best fights I've played, and the reason my rating is so high. Some notes on my playstyle: I was extremely reckless in the first half, maximizing damage and inviting some crazy dodges. I also didn't avoid hitting blue, so I would get water about halfway through. Personally, this made the fight really interesting. The water has some annoying bugs sure, but they're pretty rare, and in the end I think the water adds an extra dimension to the gameplay that is really fun to solve. The boss is a test of willpower and focus as much as anything, and I personally think the length is to its benefit. By it's nature, all the threats are really simple, but there are so many of them at once you find your attention split. It's a pleasure trying to figure out how to deal with all the attacks, and mastering all the different things you have to consider when fighting it. The boss involves a lot of strategy, and much of my progress felt like learning rather than improving execution, which is a great thing in my opinion. The fight took me about 8 hours, and yet I was having fun the whole time. It's an excellent fight that is a masterclass in using simple attacks to create a complex fight.
Ultimately, this game probably isn't for most people in the modern fangame ecosystem. However, it has its niche, and is well deserving of classic status. If you're skilled enough for it, I'd say this game might be worth playing through just for the final boss. Despite some serious lows, most of this game was a good enough experience I couldn't stay unhappy for long. I know I'm in the minority in this, but I think Crimson is a great game.

I feel like this is a gimmick that would work best as a puzzle game. A lot of the floors here just turn out to be normal platforming but with a spike at the end. The puzzly screens were the most interesting part, and I wish it had been taken further. Despite the novelty, the game is a bit of a mixed bag, with a few bits that really bring it down, like the autoscroller and the button boss. The avoidance at the end is also way too tight, and would benefit greatly from having a more lenient requirement. Overall, the game is worth playing, but expect some bumps, and a concept that isn't used to its fullest.

This game had some good ideas, but nothing really worked out well. The platforming is the best part, with some cool gimmicks, but it's painfully short, up until a final stage that's pretty generic needle. Unfortunately, it's brought down by some annoying traps, and brought down further by the bosses. The cross attack boss is not fun to learn, and annoyingly precise. The Pokemon stage has a number of minibosses, often with learny attacks and placed at the end of long trap filled saves, which makes them a chore. The Cirno avoidance is the worst offender, with several insta-gibs including one right at the end. It's also just learny and luck filled, and wasn't a pleasant experience. Ultimately, there's some clever ideas, but it never really pans out, so I can't recommend this game.
There's a hold right section that stumped me for a bit, here's the solution if you're stuck: You just keep holding right after dying, you eventually come back to life.

Racic has quickly risen to be one of the preeminent trap/sudoku makers. This game is a short romp through some hilarious gags, with some really special music choices. There are a few traps that are a bit too precise and awkward to dodge, especially for a game of this difficulty. However, the game is still an enjoyable and funny experience. Well worth playing for sudoku fans.

Straight up, one of the best trap games I've played. This game finds new ways to be hilarious every time, and the low difficulty means it was never annoying. The references are on point, and the gags had me laughing out loud. This is a fantastic recommendation for anyone, but especially for beginners who are looking to try their first trap game.
