This is a fangame based on Yumenikki, but the content has almost nothing to do with Yumenikki.
It's an old game, but aside from a few stages (especially that baffling green stage), most stages were pretty fun.
The extra stage featured unusually precise needle jumps you rarely see in standard needle games, and I struggled quite a bit.
Still, I don't think it's that bad.

very interesting and old adventure game. something I really like about this game is its very unique and never-before-seen platforming, along with some standard bosses with equally good ideas thrown in
the game's generally yume nikki-styled, so some weird stuff is to be expected. the way you even access any of the stages in the game is to go to sleep until its nighttime, then go through the door at the top. most stages have secret items and a boss, where the stage outweighs the boss in difficulty pretty much every time. this game's difficulty is derived from like two main stages (purple and red trap-heavy areas) which both have the hardest platforming in the game not counting the last stage. the rainbowloid 9hp boss is my favorite, as it has quite a unique gimmick to it. it's something you'd expect to see in a game like Emperor (partially since Emperor has a boss that is rather similar to this - Reimu). the other bosses all have unique ideas or unique execution. a unique idea would be the bomb boss, while unique execution would be the wolf boss. what other bosses do you know of that shoot WWF logos at you and have two phases, of which the second is accessed by physically dropping down to the room below where the next phase begins. see what I mean?
there's also some weird doll room you can access by sleeping too much. it's just a jpg of a closeup of a hollow-eyed doll that slowly approaches you and kills you. I found that quite memorable for some reason, it kinda freaked me out when I first got to it by accident
overall good game, has some rough patches but is generally fun. recommended

As with all of Azure's games, Dieary is very creative and strange, it's largely based around the platforming because the bosses have a very small presence, they aren't very hard at all and are often quite short, although some of them are pretty funny or have a cool concept. There's a lot of really cool screens in this game, I'm sure everyone is aware of the K2 screen, but there's a stage with black spikes you can shoot to move, a trigger stage with some pretty interesting movements, secrets like a shooting accuracy test and a weird rhythm game bit, there's a lot of different sections throughout this relatively short game making for an experience with a lot of variety that feels quite densely packed. The final stage is a little weird, a precision needle stage that's alright followed by a really anticlimactic final boss, especially since it was foreshadowed at the start of the game, but I still think as a whole the game is quite good and really impressive for it's time.

Dieary is a game where for every 3-4 things it does really well, it does one thing absolutely terribly. Your mileage may vary but for me I found myself enjoying it overall despite what I would consider pretty rough patches. If it seems interesting to you, you should play it!
