A cute little trap game. Everything is pretty basic, however I still had some fun. The traps are nothing you haven't seen before, but they're used well, and I found myself chuckling and getting outplayed a few times. The platforming likewise is pretty typical, but it's enjoyable for what it is. There's a boss at the end, but it's pretty nothingburger.
Overall, this game is worth a quick play if you want a silly trap game.

Catharsis is a pretty legendary game at this point. It is a progenitor of artistic fangames, while also being pretty influential in terms of pure needle design (a popular gimmick is named after it)! Compared to some modern needle, it could be considered quite rough around the edges, but given its age it holds up surprisingly well. The majority of the game is quite enjoyable, bouncing between more precision focused sections and longer saves. One of the interesting hallmarks of this game is for screens to have several possible paths. It enhances the experience quite a bit, adding some player agency by allowing you to choose what you want to do.
The highlight of the game is definitely the audiovisual experience. It is masterful, evoking emotion, creating vibes, and inspiring deeper thought in away very few fangames have managed even in the many years after Catharsis. The game is haunting and beautiful, and both times I've played it I've been left thinking about it for some time.
Overall, I consider this a must play game. While the gameplay gets a bit unpleasant at times (looking at the infamous platform room), it's still mostly really fun, and the artistic value of the game makes the gameplay take second seat anyways. This is one of the most thought-provoking experiences in fangames, and anyone with artistic inclinations should do themselves a favor and play it.

An incredible needle game that knows how to make simple fun, and also knows when to step a little bit away from simple. The basic platforming flows really well, using jtool gimmicks in fun ways, and augmenting them with triggers to make the movement through the screen a bit more unique. The game eventually starts incorporating small cycles, that range from the simple to the chaotic. These make it stand out a lot more, and create saves that are more interesting than they would be otherwise.
Overall, a definite recommendation for pretty much any needle player. It's of an appropriate difficulty that I imagine an intermediate player could get through it with some struggle.

The game opens strong with Inferno and Wolfie's stage, which are really good and I would definitely recommend them. Then is Sunlaoqq, which I found to be pretty unpleasant long saves. I enjoyed Lucien, it's more short save/precision focused, so definitely not for everyone. After this, the game takes a major step down. FailJGuy stage is abhorrent, it's the hardest part of the game and I wouldn't recommend a single save of it. Ghost stage picks it back up a bit, it was a decent stage even if it had some pretty weird difficulty balance and some "seriously?" saves (e.g. a bunch of apple ledges in a row). This stage would be good on its own, but is certainly not worth playing through the precious one.
Overall, I would recommend the first two stages, maybe the first four. But FailJGuy stage is so bad can't recommend finishing this game.

Cookie Temptation is perhaps the best vanilla needle game I've played. It uses jtool gimmicks in super interesting ways, creating novel jumps and cool pathing rarely seen in games this easy. Despite each room being in a small section, the game never feels constrained. Instead, the cramped rooms are used to create fun shortish saves. The saves mostly feel very different, with each one using different gimmicks or concepts.
Overall, I enjoyed this game just as much on a replay as I did when I first played it a few years ago. It's absolutely a must play, and on top of my recommendations list for intermediate players.
