Ridiculously sandbagged difficulty rating. Garbage, overly precise platforming combined with long saves and cheap deaths. Hated every second of it.

A short gimmick needle game with an interesting take/expansion on screen wrapping. However, a good idea was sadly taken hostage by questionable design across the board and mediocre implementation.
Its interesting enough to take a look at perhaps as a concept, but hard to recommend it as worth the time to play.

Extremely cool concept that was not exactly explored to its fullest potential, due to how short the game is in actuality. The needle found within these screens can also be quite annoying unfortunately, which really hampered with the games ability to shine. Great concept, okay execution.

Really cool needle game that's centered around a gimmick that changes the size of your screen, combined with screenwrap. This makes for some really interesting screen design, and the game really shines in seeing how these screens evolve over time to develop a path to the warp. The needle is more precision focused, but not to an extreme. None of the jumps felt overly precise, although a couple spots were pushing it. One complaint is that there's a screen that starts immediately with a shift, making you sit through an animation every attempt, which is slightly annoying. Overall, just a really neat experience with a cool gimmick and decent, but flawed, platforming. I'd love to see this gimmick used for a more puzzle focused experience, although that's obviously outside of the scope of this game so it's not something that affects my rating.
