Regardless of how you feel about the gameplay, you have to admit that Candy is an incredibly unique avoidance which really stands out even among other high intensity difficult avoidances with just how strange it is. It opens pretty relaxed but then throws some really strange attacks at you with crazy visual effects, before a super minimalistic segment with silly patterns and then a super high energy bit which again feels different from the rest, and it just keeps going like this for it's entire 4 minute duration. It makes for quite the spectacle, one which is exhilarating to play at it's peaks and mildly frustrating and it's low moments.
This avoidance has a good mix of pattern attacks and RNG, it's actually a rare case (for me at least) where more things are pattern than I thought, although that's partially because the game was updated to make the more unreasonable stuff not random anymore. The patterns are really nice, tricky at times especially the pattern at the start of the chorus and the dropping pattern during the intermission, but they are all really consistent and fun, in particular that pattern at the start of the chorus is awesome in my opinion, feels amazing to get through and is satisfying every single time. The RNG is the more troubling part of the fight, a lot of the random attacks are really fun, but it's undeniable this avoidance suffers from balance issues, which leads to my one complaint. The intro segment before the black background part can feel really unfair and be really annoying to get stuck on, I wouldn't call it bad but these moments were by far the most annoying parts of playing this game, I minded the other bits like the absolutely brutal RNG all around the gradient background segment a lot less, although it's still a bit of an issue even if it's often extremely funny to see the absolute bullshit that can be thrown at you sometimes.
The ending of the avoidance is a bit odd, the game comes with practice for it which is interesting, I'll never know if I'd prefer it with or without practice but being able to learn all the patterns in this bit beforehand is nice, makes the game less grindy without resorting to making the ending a bunch of basic barrage attacks, although it is still less complex than the rest of the fight. I don't think the practice is objectively good but it has it's merits and is convenient. Overall I love this game, definitely recommend it if you got the skills, just be ready to get absolutely destroyed from time to time.

A game with a decent number of fun ideas, although not many are executed particularly well and some are just not very fun, in particular the bosses were a sour spot, with avoidances that are entirely memory without much of interest and two tedious cherry bosses, the other bosses were alright though, the 11 in particular was a fun concept. The platforming is okay, questionable at times but stuff like the rotating cherry circle stage was really fun in my opinion. Mizudori definitely has stronger games but this is not terrible by any means.

An absolutely insane avoidance, one which underneath a flashy and overwhelming exterior is brilliantly designed nearly everywhere you look. This game is primarily a pattern avoidance with sprinkles of randomness thrown about, there's a pretty big variety in attacks here with nearly every section offering it's own unique challenge, culminating in an over the top ending which is sure to leave an impression on any player.
This game is very learning heavy but it's surprisingly manageable for a few reasons, one of the biggest being the shield the game gives you which allows you to get past parts you might be struggling with so you can spend more time familiarizing yourself with these patterns. On top of that the patterns are surprisingly doable themselves, there's definitely a lot of visual information but you can break them down into a few simple motions that get very consistent with time. It's not easy to learn them, there were a few I was stuck on for over an hour of attempts before understanding, but you always have the feeling you are making progress.
The random attacks are also pretty fun to play, they too have a learning element in a lot of cases, some of them can be really really mean at times but the avoidance is mostly fair and almost every death to RNG is gonna be because you made a misread, which is really really easy to do at times. I also think the pacing of this fight is stellar, the intro is really high intensity but also the easiest part of the whole fight, which means you always have something to do during the beginning without getting stuck because you aren't paying attention right from the get go. There's also very brief moments where you get a tiny break, which work really well as a quick mental refresh before hopping right back in the action. It's little things like this which really make the game special, along with some cute easter eggs and of course an incredibly distinct personality. I think if you would be into this kind of avoidance, it is an absolute must play. This is truly a masterpiece.

Calling this an FTFA-like is maybe a little misleading, because fundamentally it plays quite a bit differently from that game, I think it's more accurate to say this game is somewhere between Lap Around and Lap Backwards, but even then it's a very unique game that manages to be some of the most enjoyable 32px needle I've played. There's a lot of really strange but cool and satisfying jumps strewn throughout the game, often requiring some weird jump heights or a kinda strange motion. It's difficult for sure but I found that everything in the game could be made consistent with enough time, which made clearing even the easier saves massively satisfying. There's a handful of jumps which are maybe a little annoying but for the most part I was having a blast the whole time. I think the game starts with it's weakest save, save 1 has a kinda annoying plane early on and the rest isn't that interesting, but after that I had a blast, with my favorite saves probably being save 8 which is a really sick one screen save, and the final save which had some really cool and fun jumps. It's also worth noting the difficulty balance is a bit strange, saves 1, 2, and 5 are a lot harder than most of the other saves in the game until the final one, so note that it's definitely gonna be a bumpy start. Once I got into it I just started liking it more and more, would definitely recommend giving this a shot.

There's a lot of cool jump ideas and fun maneuvers throughout this game, but nearly every save suffers from the same issue, that being there's a handful of jumps which are very very inconsistent and awkward that don't feel particularly good to play, and ultimately make saves feel like grinding to get past these jumps, like the first jump of save 6, or the horrible drop at the end of save 4. Stuff like that makes the game super grindy and it feels like most of your time is focused on these jumps rather than the actually fun ones. This taints the entire experience with a general lack of satisfaction, I never felt accomplished after beating a save in this game, more so relieved that it was done with, especially with how many saves put their hardest and most inconsistent jumps towards the end, it just got really tiring. Again, this game has good elements, but I left it thinking it was overall very weak and not worth the effort it took to clear.
