I'll update this when I 100% Clear it, so for now the review applies to the bad ending without the use of any TNT (for non-spoilers, it's not 100%)

I do think it's an amazing game overall, it's incredibly high quality and has so much charm to it, I also think all the positives have already been well-stated by other reviewers, but it is a great amount of fun with so many good gimmicks that have been well used and is very funny aswell.

my only real complaint is that there is no pause menu, at first admittedly i was hesitant on pressing esc incase i had to re-launch the whole game again, and this might be schizophrenia, but i swear, when i was perfectly safe sometimes i would be afk and die when not looking at the screen after a while... maybe this game is just haunted though (this didn't change my rating given ofc dont worry)

otherwise, i did think screens 170-180 were too difficult or just inconsistent, i found room 180 to be possibly the easiest aswell other than the last jump before the 2nd save, and many of the other rooms were somewhat demotivating to play due to having very quick inputs back to back, atleast i found it that my keyboard did not want to co-operate sometimes, and in general i think they are such a difficulty spike, the rest of the game is like ~40-50 diff needle gameplay if you have a base understanding of each gimmick, and then i found those 10 rooms to be ~60 diff, i also think it's a big of a weird state for new players, because i could see those 10 rooms to be incredibly infuriating for players who would have to spend a considerable amount of time on them, but overall, i didn't find it too be much of an issue, certainly not enough to lower the rating much, and i'd still recommend it.

overall, game is amazing, love it, would highly recommend, will be going for the 100% clear soon after i finish some other things aswell!

Rating based on true end. Personally I don't like the conveyor and the gravity stage but everything else is great.

this game was quite the jump in difficulty from my previous hardest (iwbtg hard mode and some rather difficult iwm levels), but i dont regret a thing. its pretty much perfect from start to finish, besides a few minor issues.

those issues being:
* i didnt like the automatic savepoints, especially how you cant even save manually by shooting them.
* the first few stages felt rather boring.
* the lack of volume and music sliders.

besides those three things, youve made a great game, thenewgeezer.
