For: I wanna Lazy Needle 2
It's kinda hard to write a review when kale himself just kinda sums up everything I could say. So basically read his review. It's a competently made needle game with alot of interweaving screens.
I think the way forward could be a >bit< more obvious at a glance, but I think that's because I myself am extraordinarily directionally challenged, so maybe not. The final save and the save right before it felt way WAY harder than the majority of the saves in the game, honestly, but it wasn't in a bad way... minus the opening water segment in the last save. Either way, good needle game with the most simple of aesthetics. Bring your own music!

A brief stint in some rather hard but short save-focused needle and a barrage avoidance.
The needle (which you need to hit ESC to start properly when you get to the uh, very obvious troll room) starts off with a... puzzle segment? It almost feels like a demo for a gimmick for a different game entirely. It only lasts a few screens before it disappears entirely, but it was cool. I kinda wish that was what you got instead of the normal needle, to be honest.
The normal needle is very C/O/S/M/O inspired, as other have mentioned, but the average save is quite a deal shorter. There's some platform shenanigans, but.. honestly it's all kinda mneh. I really don't like platforms flat against blocks, and most of the platform uses itself outside of that were just more frustrating than interesting. The short saves make it so nothing is too heavy on requirements, but it didn't feel all that fun.
The avoidance is a shortish (around 2 minutes) barrage. It's pretty fun! Nothing too hard here, but a couple nitpicks.
- Final feels like it can be kind of a clown fiesta. It's probably fine since it's a moderate avoidance so you can expect to retry it quite a few times even if it happens, but it feels like it could be a bit rude.
- The final part of the 'box' attack in the middle feels way harder than anything else in the fight. No idea how intended that was, but it was like being teleported to a different avoidance. Not a bad attack though.
- The third attack, the curving arrows. I really, REALLY wish they started to 'curve' earlier than they do. It's a complaint I have with a lot of various curving attacks in avoidances; People really underestimate how wonky curving is to read and don't give you enough time to see the arc. Be careful with this.
But yeah. Fun stuff, well paced and a banger song. I'm not big into barrage, honestly, but this was a good time, even considering those things.

Honestly, outside of the brief stint in Marathon, I don't think until now I have ever seen this gimmick used well. It's always just 'do a bunch of 16px', forever, with the occasional screen wrap for pazazz.
And now we have Arzztts contribution to the mix. And it's definitely the best of the gimmick I have seen in an I wanna as of writing.
Most of what I can say has been said already, unfortunately, so this'll be a bit of a short review. But there's a lot of creativity in individual levels and how you get towards the goal: The platforming in the game compliments the routing and hazard navigating rather than interfering or hindering it. Nothing is pushed too far in terms of precision, and there's a few different gimmicks or hindrances per stage to keep things from ever getting samey.
Beyond just being able to nag on individual segments and whatever that nobody really wants to see, the only thing I can really put as a negative is that I felt that there could have been more 'raw' VVVVVV platforming. It feels like as you can you 'turn' blue, you switch off of it within a few jumps, but not vice versa. Would have been interested to see a little more just straight VVVVVV type of style from this.
But yeah, honestly I think whenever I see this gimmick in a fangame I will immediately turn to this and be sad it isn't this. Mighta killed the gimmick for me tbh. Great work.

For: I wanna love the Miku
god i hecking love miku
So, this is a multi avoidance game with some different needle by various creators thrown in. The avoidances vary in length and difficulty, as does the needle, but the avoidances more noticeably. Strangely, miku only actually shows up in 1 of them. What the hell tho?
To give a quick note about the needle: It's... alright. Nothing offensive, decent filler between bosses. Except Q's stage, which is just one enormous room with some gravity flipping where it's more of a challenge to find the exit. It's not a bad effort but if you're trying to do it blind I find the way forward to be... not the most intuitive thing in the world. Wouldn't recommend.
So, let's be real: You're playing a game LITERALLY called "love the miku." You know what you're here for.
Unfortunately, I can't say the avoidances are all that great. A big problem is that they're all sort of in the same style of each other: Shape based fruit patterns that overlap into tight gaps, for 4 minutes. (With the last boss being light orbs. (And one boss is 2 minutes.)) There's not a lot of originality between the avoidances. It's just some different aesthetics and timings.
I think a large problem comes into that the pattern style of "shapes on shapes" just wasn't really satisfying to learn, since the movement of said shapes is almost entirely the same: Center or corner bursting out. You pretty much know what you did wrong the second you press the jump button. It's just not satisfying or movement intensive pattern.
For some specifics on each avoidance:
Nekomimi Switch (fail stages avoidance) (also the song is about Miku putting on cat ears and then having a scifi hallucination, worth mentioning) is the first one I did so it sticks in my mind a bit more than the others. It's not bad, and there's some arena changing (and it's the only avoidance where Miku shows up), but it kinda comes and goes.
Irony, Q's stages avoidance, I honestly think... might be my favorite? The very simple background and aesthetics remind me of balloon, and I think the shape pattern style seems to work better in an easier avoidance. This is the easiest of the bunch by alot, and it doesn't do a whole lot different, but I think the attacks being timed to the vocals is the most crisp here, and very little isn't reactable.
It is worth noting that this one would have gotten FAR older far quicker if I had died to it more, I imagine, since it's long as SHIT (the entire song, a bit over 4 minutes) and there's not a lot of relevant RNG. (The song is amazing though and fits with the aesthetics quite well.)
Ren'ai Saiban, Sheeps stage, unfortunately I think falls into the reverse. It's not really easy enough to be a chill grind and it's not really hard enough or different enough from the rest of them. Every attack you'll see in all of them is here, just tighter gaps, except there's one corridor part where you just... kind of run back and forth. It's like the easiest locus attack ever made. The song is good, and so is the timing, but the gameplay is... ehhh. It's nothing spectacular, and in an awkward difficulty range.
And finally, Tsuki Kage Mai Ka, Sunblas stages avoidance. Production wise it's definitely the best, and apples get traded for orbs here as mentioned before. It's the hardest of the bunch, but not all that grindy. There's a couple center rng attacks... I think? I honestly couldn't figure it out when some attacks were concerned. It's basically 'tight shape gap' the fight, but there's a bit more creativity with overlappings here than in the previous ones. But it does carry a lot of the same problems that the other ones have, and unfortunately I did this one as the last avoidance, so I was quite tired of it all by this point. This is another 4 minute monster, but there's quite a bit of dead time in some of them (theres almost a solid 25 second transition into the final attack) so it's not quite as busy. I did manage to one try the final section/attack, but it did feel like the most different attack in all the avoidances and was pretty fun, at least!
If you're really hankering for a bit of needle and a bit of miku to bite into without committing to anything, it's worth a shot for sure. The music choices are good, and nothing is too hard to wall an experienced player. But it's a bit lacking in most departments, imo.

I liked this game. It's a good game.
I'm kind of inexperienced in Infernos needle, but i'm quite familiar with Naders, so this was an interesting experience. I was worried that the alternating saves would result in some whiplash, but it ended up being a fun flavor rather than something distracting. Infernos needle felt a lot more wide open, with more jump sequences taking you over a large breadth of space, with Naders being more claustrophobic and tight. It helped keep the needle fresh.
I think there didn't need to be 2 stages straight of dotkid needle, mind, since dotkid needle feels more like a spectacle than an actual platforming challenge. You can't really push it very far without it getting silly, so it all kinda blends together. But with the last stage being what it is, it makes sense why there's a decent bit of focus on it. Speaking of, I thought the last stage was a really cool usage of dotkid. Would have liked to see a bit more mid-jump transformations, there's a lot of design space for that i think.
Anyway, a comfy needle game that will probably only last most people an hour or two, but it's very well made from top to bottom. I like neon aesthetics aswell, and the music. So that's always a plus. Go play it.
