For: I wanna be Assaulted
Assaulted is a short collab between Tsuta and Dagger, which if you're familiar with any of their other games might give you a good idea of what to expect here. It features a mix of traps, standard platforming, avoidances and some shaky gimmicks here and there, but overall it's a fairly fun game if you're open to all of the above.
The left path features a retro-game style platforming section by Tsuta, which is kinda interesting. You chase a blue car around whilst being chased by red cars and picking up flags to extend your phase time. The design is actually kinda fun, although it definitely leads itself to a bit of frustration. This is followed up by a short platforming segment by Dagger which is okay until the spotlight gimmick sets in, where it becomes more annoying than interesting. This path is concluded with a Dagger avoidance, set to a very nice song and pretty visuals. The difficulty is lower than that of the other route too and none of the patterns are too intense to learn.
The right path starts with a trap segment by Dagger. There are some pretty amusing traps and clever workarounds to them, which is also rounded off by a very...unique boss. If you're a Cirno fan then you might have a good time. From here, the most iconic part of Assaulted makes its appearance with Tsuta's trap stage, featuring some 5000 IQ traps and the most iconic penalty room out there. The path is then concluded with Tsuta's avoidance, which feels very reminiscent to one in Permanence 2 in both song and style. This one feels a bit harder than Dagger's on the left route, and some attacks may take a couple of attempts to find a good strat for, although nothing gets too rough or frustrating.
Starting with the left path feels like the better flow for the game in terms of difficulty curve, although if you're only interested in parts of it then the gist of it is that the left path is more gimmick/platforming based, and the right path is trap based. There's some mixed stuff, but I had a good time.

Interesting adventure game with 3 stages, each themed around a separate anime and consisting of some platforming and a boss. Each stage brought something a little different, and made for a fun experience.
The left stage (Mekakucity Actors) is based primarily on needle platforming and triggers, which features some pretty interesting manoeuvres and segments. Some parts felt less creative needlewise, with some saves feeling reliant on 16px's and diagonals but they're usually enhanced by the triggers to the point where it doesn't get frustrating. The boss of the area is an avoidance which is designed very nicely and never feels too overwhelming or unfair.
The middle stage (No Game No Life) is based on games! There are a selection of mini-games of sorts, based off retro arcade games. They're fairly fun and don't overstay their welcome, although the real highlight of this stage was the needle which felt very creatively designed throughout. The boss of the area has one attack that causes some issue (the Jibril section), although I felt rushing it and optimizing damage as best I could trivialized it greatly.
The right stage (Haiyore! Nyaruko-San) is a little more puzzle-platforming based, and caused some unplanned galaxy brain moments for me as well as overwhelming confusion on one particular save (which turned out to be rather simple in the end). It also features my favourite boss in the game, akin to a Destination-style boss., which had very fun attacks to read and dodge.
There are also secret in the game which unlock an extra. Whilst I collected the secrets, I didn't opt to do extra so I can't comment on it. I hear it's unfinished and won't be completed. The save sound is also a little frustrating to hear over and over again, but I ended up tuning it out after a while. Overall a fun game though, definitely worth a shot.

Probably the hardest Uhuhu clone I've played.
There is one screen of absolutely atrocious design in this game that is among the worst shit I have ever done in fangames (the screen with the spikes popping in and out of the ceiling/floor, especially the way it transitions into the next screen), which really brought the game down, but the rest of it was actually pretty fun; both of the long single save screens at the end felt satisfying to beat in particular.
If you like Uhuhu/Dandy style design and are looking for something with a bit more bite to it, this might be worth checking out. Just beware of the screen I mentioned...

I agree with everything Piece said in his review. Also, the final stage was the worst part of the game for me; it has a ton of mash-heavy mini-bosses and ends with a mash-heavy final boss. You're gonna have a really tough time if you cannot mash well.
Additionally, don't bother with the extra content because some of the secret areas were a little irritating, and the extra stage is insanely hard to a point of being unfair. Pretty fun game overall, though!
Would probably recommend.

Very RNG heavy game where you have to outrun a wall of spiderbros with objects that spawn at random with different behaviors and to top it all off, you have to do this with a flashlight effect.
