ADOFAI but small radius

When Small Really Means "Oh God Why"

Okay so you know how in normal ADOFAI you have this little planet that dances along a path? Yeah, forget that. In this version, someone decided to shrink the thing down to like... pixel size. I'm not kidding. Playing ADOFAI but small radius feels less like guiding a planet and more like trying to thread a needle while the needle is having a seizure on a rollercoaster.

I tried this with my arcade button setup—you know, the big satisfying clicky one—thinking it would help. Nope. The victory dance that's just you spinning in your chair once, silently? That happened after I finally cleared the first ten tiles. The shared wavelength when you watch a player whose style perfectly matches yours? I haven't found that person yet, because I think we're all just suffering in different time zones.

This mod is the purest form of "challenge player imposing self-restrictions." It's for when "one key" wasn't hard enough, so you need "one key AND you can barely see the thing you're controlling." The beginner's euphoria of early progress is real though—when you finally get a section down, the improvement feels massive. But then the player's guilt from neglecting other games hits hard. Like, I should be finishing that RPG, but no, I'm here trying to make a microscopic ball hit geometric shapes in rhythm.

If you're coming from something visually clean like osu!mania, this will mess with your head. ADOFAI's visuals are already kind of liars, but with a small radius, the lies are... sharper? More concentrated? It's like the game is whispering "you missed" in a smaller, more annoying font.

Random things I wondered while playing:
- How does ADOFAI's reputation in the broader gaming community affect mods like this?
- What are strategies for maintaining mental freshness when the visual target is so tiny?
- What is the average BPM range of official ADOFAI levels, and does a small radius make high BPM impossible?

Anyway, if you're looking for levels that match a specific aesthetic taste, this ain't it. The aesthetic here is "painfully small." But as a tour guide of suffering, I can say it's a sight to behold. Try it if you dare. Or don't. I'm not your mom.
