Short needle game that utilizes a few different platforming styles. Difficulty peaked in the middle of the game for me, with the rest being in the low-to-mid 50s. I think it would have been to the game's benefit if the water stage had another save on each screen. In any case, the platforming was great! There are almost no generic jumps, which I very much appreciate.

There is a luck involved attack, which is the first attack of the first chorus. Also the intro is long, and first attack is uselessly precise. Because of that I got slowly sleepy while playing this. But I don't really think this avoidance is boring. Cool old dagger avoidance with nice classic vibes. Enjoyed it.

The screen with the tall spikes towards the beginning of the game was a struggle to figure out for me, feel like the details in the visuals obscured the solution a bit but nothing too bad. Rest was super cool, a bit fulljump heavy at parts but nothing I minded much. Think a more fleshed out game in the style of this would stick with me more, but as a sampler it's exquisite.

Nice short fangame with 6 stages, the gimmick is good, and the level design its ok, the fangame its not very difficult but the stages dont have checkpoints and the last ones are a bit long. Dont use the same engine, but the jump physics are very similar, unfortunately the collisions can cause some problems.
Overall I recommended trying it.

Moments of fun gameplay, bogged down by tired gimmicks and often-annoying level design.
For a quick review: I'm a fan of the moving platforms -- I think they are fresh, and generally used to create satisfying movements. Sadly, I find toggle gimmicks boring and worn-out and so did not enjoy their usage. Some screens have really enjoyable pathing and jumps -- but more often than not I find that they include weirdly precise / unintuitive sequences, or are bookended by screens which are frustrating. Overall the experience is dampened.
People have pointed out Section 8, the homing apple screen, as being awkward and unejoyable. I agree, however, a screen I find more representative of the game's quality is Section 15. At the beginning you have to hit a switch while moving up, full double jump, and then hit the switch moving down -- it's uninteresting, precise and annoying. The rest of the room after this is trivial compared to the rooms that have come before it -- probably as a concession to how the player will feel after beating the first part. The rest of the room is also *fun*, but it was hard to enjoy after the opening section.
All in all, I felt the same way about Gokoku's last game. Looks great, but the gameplay isn't there for me.

Of all the unfinished fangames on Delfruit this might actually be the most impressive one in my eyes, if it was complete it would be a solid contender for one of the best Adventure games out there.
Terazone is a collection of various game-themed worlds that have an incredible amount of variance and excitement for the player. At one point you'll be using the mouse to place down fellas in a World of Goo stage that is beautiful and enjoyable, later you'll need to free your friends in a stage of Oddworld. There's a dungeon from Zelda LTTP to play, a really cool metal gear themed facility, and a great IB stage. Each of these have their own bosses, some are a bit lesser in quality probably due to being unfinished, but some are pretty awesome. Of course one of the stages, based on Kinoko, is severely flawed to the point I can't recommend playing it. Everything else in the game though is quite amazing and I hope this one day will be finished. Additional cool factors come from a rather simple but neat Hub, as well as the game having a titlescreen that changes as you beat more stages, and an achievement system.
I really do hope to see this game finished one day, it has so much potential that it's insane. For now though, I got almost three hours of play out of it so it's still worth your time.
