As I finally beat this game after my third attempt at actually going through it, I found out it's just as unpleasant as I remember it being years ago. The style of needle in this game can only really be described as "claustrophobic", and I hope I never see it again as it actually feels bad to play, which is honestly hard for a needle game. Even generic 32px needle is pleasant compared to this. The only saves in the game I didn't find myself hating were a couple saves in stage 4, and maybe like the first gate in stage 1.

The bosses in this game are actually pretty alright however and are the highlights for me, most of them being pretty balanced avoidances that could be first tried without prior knowledge. The third one felt the best of them all and is by far the high point of the game, and the second one is the only one that isn't good by virtue of limited player space and just way too much brown.

Other notes about the production: Art is overall decent to good, most of the problems I had with it are with a lack of distinction sometimes between spikes and blocks (looking at you, stage 2) and it can look a little one-tone at times. I personally hate the music choices used throughout the game but that's a personal thing, so I'm not changing my rating for it. The death sound is however atrocious: it sounds like you just hit a button in some flash puzzle game or something. Other SFX were good.

It's my least favorite needle game of all time, but clearly this is not the opinion of the majority, so perhaps the reader of this review may end up enjoying the game. I'd say give it a shot, but if you reach the second stage and the needle isn't to your liking, then it's wiser to bail out.

a game consisting of small jumps. The bosses in the game are not very difficult, the needle part seemed more difficult to me. I want to note the sound of death, one of the best that I have heard, it is not annoying, the music is also on a level, like the production part

So I did 100%. This was among the most frustrating things I've experienced in the past several months, but that's pretty much entirely because of my avoidance skill, or lack thereof. The music was great, the sync was perfect, the needle was fun... Very highly recommend this game, but my god I wish I was better at avoidances to appreciate this more.
