I made ooparts 3 because 1 and 2 sucked, and now I made this because o3 didn't age well.

I've been watching gmtk videos, playthrough of modern fangames and such to study level designs and it seems I still have lots of room for improvements, especially for needles.

Also, while I did taken extra stages seriously this time(unlike o3), I'll admit I went a little overboard with the extra boss. Sorry about that.

I saw this game on Delfruit and felt compelled to fire up a fangame for the first time in ages. Respect to the maker, as I have enjoyed their previous games, and this one met the bar as well. This is a very well put together game. I really enjoyed the platforming, difficulty was reasonable and the rooms were interesting. There were a few secrets that were questionable in terms of accessing them, and some bosses with some questionable moments, but enjoyed the exploring all the game had to offer. The extra final boss is a bit much for me, but it is extra after all, so not going to get too upset over it.

Everyone else coming out of retirement to play the new big needle game, me coming out to play OOPARTS4...glad to see the maker is still going.

Rating based on true clear. Had a lot of fun, platforming has some genuinely great gimmicks, and bosses are simple, but fun to dodge. An easy recommendation from me. Only minus point I noticed is that the needle is a bit generic, even though the creator said that he tried to make the platforming modern-ish.

Based on 100 % clear. Well-maded adventure, platforming was honestly entirely fun and great to play - gimmicks are intuitive and varied, none of the saves felt out of difficulty curve. Bosses were also pretty enjoyable, some of them are very cool, some of them more faded, but they are still all very interesting

Secrets were harder to find than in OOPARTS III, but it's not a bad thing, since the way they hidden is good and i had a lot of fun with exploration part. EX stage, which is rewarding for obtaining secrets, is big improvement over OOPARTS III - here it's great stage with callbacks to all gimmicks - fun stuff. And EX final boss is hardest thing in the game, it's similar in design and difficulty to OOPARTS III EX final boss. I had some grips with pacing of this boss, but it was still pretty worthwhile and nice challenge

All in all, very strong adventure. It might be on simple side in terms of design, but honestly, why not? While many makers trying to pushing limit with some crazy stuff, which oftenly goes quite not great imo, Haegoe just mastering his own style and this game is coronet among his other games. You must definitely not miss this if you like adventures with old-school vibe, but in modern package

very good game, i had a lot of fun. some gimmicks are very well use, my personal highlight is level 6, and is not all corridor needle (there are some corridors still) but is a huge progress

some things that not affect my rating: the bosses sprites has to be like milanesas, the bigger the better, okay seriously some bosses like the third one are so small they're cute.

and things that affect my rating: stage 9 could have a better use of the timer triggers, they only activate a spike in front and that's it... there is a lot (okay not a lot, but there are many) odd jumps, random diamonds, random corners at the end of the saves only to make things harder, nd personally i'm not a big big fan of the "do half screen to activate a trigger or collect all keys to unlock a door at the start"


Overall, a big improvement over the other games. There are some parts that are "ugh", but it's a good game.






here is how to get the secrets:

secret 1: screen 1-2... after activate the last trigger, try to jump close to the cherry next to the trigger
secret 2: screen 2-3... do a lap
secret 3: screen 3-2... shoot the random spike top left, next to the camera
secret 4: screen 4-1... in the drop to the warp, keep holding left until you find fake blocks.
secret 5: screen 5-4... do the screen normally, and at the end one trigger top left switches
secret 6: After boss... after defeat the boss, you will find a red dot in the screen, interact pressing UP
secret 7: screen 7-5... collect all the blue skulls
secret 8: screen 8-5... at the start, do the sideways gate
secret 9: screen 9-8... after get the last save, jump down
secret 10: after boss... "watch the credits"
