Here we are! The 10th game of the series - certain milestone indeed!
Now, this is the 5th and last game made on 22/12/2012. Here is the timeline for all 10 games so far (using my local timezone):
Game 1: 08/12/2012 20:09
Game 2: 21/12/2012 17:28
Game 3: 21/12/2012 19:11
Game 4: 21/12/2012 22:43
Game 5: 21/12/2012 22:59
Game 6: 22/12/2012 15:19
Game 7: 22/12/2012 15:44
Game 8: 22/12/2012 16:04
Game 9: 22/12/2012 16:25
Game 10: 22/12/2012 17:14
As you can see, 9 out of 10 games were made in the span of less than 24 hours.
10th game feels like a celebratory game for the whole series, since this is one of the games that has completely different genre and some other differences.
Usually Betty made some needle games. This time we have a boss fight game, and more interestingly - we once again are having the same aesthetics as for the 3rd game. We have 'I wanna enjoy the game' written in the game window, and the game's title screen says 'かるいなにか', which means 'something easy'. Also final screen is in the gray filters rather than the usual colourful ones.
However, there is something different here, that I did not realize immediately. You have same difficulty selection as in 3rd game, but there is a text this time saying '全難易度変わります'. I translated it after I have beaten the Medium and Hard modes of the game. This means 'All difficulty settings will change'. Yes, unlike the 3rd part where the difficulty does not change, this time we are first time having 4 difficulty options.
The funny thing is that Hard mode is not much more difficult than the Medium and you might actually not notice any changes. But Very Hard and Impossible mode changes are more noticeable indeed.
Here is how I would rate difficulty wise:
Medium: 11
Hard: 12
Very Hard: 18
Impossible: 28
It is hard to compare with other games in the series, but I am pretty certain that the Impossible mode here is the hardest thing in the whole series so far. And probably even the hardest needle so far (Hard mode of 7th part) is on par with the Very Hard mode.
Quality wise I initially wanted to give 2.3, since the Medium mode is a bit boring. But I did higher up the rating after beating all 4 modes.
The design here is that you need to beat 2 bosses in the same time from the left and right. One boss shoots at you aiming red fruits and other shoots RNG orbs. The harder difficulty the faster projectiles are. The hardest thing is to control Red Fruits and on last 2 difficulties it will be more obvious. However, it is pretty cool playing all the difficulty settings. You do have a variety, and I do appreciate that. It does make the experience longer than it is.
The music is the standard Guy Rock. Meh.
Anyway, this is still pretty raw for a game. It is definitely one of the best games in these series, but the standard is pretty low. I will still rate this lower than the 3rd part, but this is still better than your average needle game in these series.
Entertainment is pretty short lived, so there is not much more to say. Still lacking as a game on its own. However, if you do play, then probably better to play on the higher difficulty settings, and this is why I am leaving rating specifically for the Impossible mode.
Realistically I Would not recommend.
