Difficulty based on a specific save near the end - rest of game is 3-5 points easier
Overall pretty cool game, with nice visuals and interesting jumps and water usage, and a smooth difficulty curve, with harder saves at the end of each stage - with the exception of *that* save, of which I have nothing nice to say, so I'll say nothing
Would still recommend to anyone who enjoys good needle with a dash of water, triggers and moving stuff.

This is a mostly fantastic game, that manage to truly feel like an adventure in a way most adventure fangames don't. With items, health, metroidvania aspects, a shop, and more, this feels like a game you played on your Nintendo DS when you were a kid. The gimmicks are cool, the items are fun, and the graphics are phenomenal.
Unfortunately, this game is dragged down severely by the final boss. The other bosses are weak points, but are simply unmemorable. The final boss however, is actively unpleasant and infuriating to play against. The boss can only be damaged on the face, except the hitbox is nonsense and half of the face randomly doesn't take damage. Sometimes two attacks that felt like they hit the exact same spot would have different outcomes. Most of the fight requires using the axe item, which has a horrible limitation of only having one on screen at a time. Sometimes you'd throw an axe that would phase straight through her face, and then you couldn't attack until the axe took seconds to arc up and fall down off the screen. Some attacks have opportunities to use your sword, which does way more damage and makes the fight way faster. However, the only spot you can hit with the sword is where the bullets are spawning, so you get punished just for trying. Furthermore, the boss's attacks have wild uncontrollable knockback, and you get like one i-frame, so a single projectile will often hit you 2 or even 3 times, halving your health instantly. This bossfight is one of the most unenjoyable fights I've ever played, especially in a game where everything else is of such high caliber.

An extremely high production value minigame collection. Worth playing even if you don't know Japanese, as most of the games are intuitive (but not all). The games are all interesting and unique, and there are a lot of original ideas. Difficulty is based on getting a clear, which is extremely forgiving. I don't have much else to say, just give this a try.

Classic style trap game, with all the nonsense that implies. Very little is memorable about this game, but it's a decent experience. The mario area was interesting, I like the coin gimmick. But the traps continue to be more annoying than humorous.

This is a pretty cool beginner floor game. The first 75 floors are pretty trivial for an experienced player, making it a bit boring, but they're still high quality, and the later stages are interesting. I particularly enjoyed the red light green light gimmick. However, the final boss is stupid and annoying, and then you have to fight the exact same boss again in the boss rush. This is just such an unenjoyable feature that it soured my experience with the rest of the game.

A game with some cool ideas that is made much worse by unnecessary length. The first loop is quite fun, although health pickups make it pretty trivial. The gimmicks are cool and each area feels unique. However, the second loop is boring and pointless, as your health and powerups let you just rush through the areas without having to play the game. The final area sucks, and even with full health the saves are too precise. The final boss is way too tanky, and at the end the attacks are nigh undodgeble, especially since you need to deal damage.

Interesting surrealist floor game. If you've played GENKI you'll definitely see the similarities. At times, the game drags on a bit long, but the aesthetics make it worthwhile. The final gimmicks are really cool too, I quite like the water bubbles you can move with your gun. Overall, the thought provoking atmosphere isn't always enough to hold your attention, but the game is still pretty fun, and a good beginner recommendation.

Really funny trap game that exemplifies how far the genre is come. Supremely high production value makes a lot of traps uproariously funny. The game features several punishment rooms and they're all some of the funniest traps. The different areas all have their own charm, and the game never feels stale. my favorite room is the California screen, which has several hilarious jokes. My big complaints with the game are the number of flying spikes, and the poop spikes/fart noises. The first one is personal preference, but to me those traps are not really funny compared to everything else. For the second, the gross out humor with the poop spikes just felt out of place in a game like this, and like it was trying too hard to be funny when it's just "haha poop". The fart sound effects, and the other frequent sound effects, are way too common, and often drown out the banger soundtrack that's the point of the game. However, these complaints didn't detract too much from the game, and as you can see by my rating I still found this a very memorable experience that I'd wholeheartedly recommend.
