Absolutely beautiful game. Nice short saves so that nothing is too frustrating. Yeah, the bosses are meh, but not hard, so it didn't really sour my opinion.

Very, very fun needle game with a superb visual style, coupled with middling difficulty platforming and fairly simple bosses. After you clear the game, there's a hub world with each individual level in the game for you to play.

I highly recommend this to any player for fun, and to any novice or intermediate players looking to improve their needle skills.

Minimal is a really great looking (and sounding) game with good production all around.

The platforming is enjoyable and original. It takes an artistic approach to needle layouts. A lot of levels are almost entirely vertical or horizontal, use symmetry, strange spike sizes and configurations, and require you to move in unconventional ways. Not a huge difficulty curve from beginning to end.

The bosses are very simple but fun. Like the rest of the game, they look good and are accompanied by great music.

The level designs are really pleasing to the eye, with a lot of intricate designs weaved in, out and around the platforming. Ironically, this may be the most noteworthy aspect of the game, which is not minimal at all. More in line with the theme suggested by the title, sprites are solid colors, which gives a nice aesthetic.

Attention was paid to sound as well. The music is relaxing and will draw you in to the abstract levels. There is an alternate, fitting death sound, the save points make a great noise, and a handful of other details throughout.

Well-conceived and maybe one of the more cohesive 'experiences' that I've had with a needle game. Everyone should play this.

A great needle game, with excellent platforming that is one-of-a-kind. A fangame great for sharpening platforming skills and seeing some interesting jumps.

Coming from an entry level player, I would definitely say you should have a decent skillset to be able to fully complete this game, as it can be difficult for beginners.

One issue that I disliked was the two bosses, which were simple and RNG-filled. However the simplicity of them made it somewhat bearable, although in my personal opinion they were unnecessary.
