TL;DR: I played this because I've heard this was pretty bad and thought it looked decently fun, with the reputation being exaggerated and the game itself mediocre at worst. I was wrong.
Dadu needle is a 50f jtool needle game. Visuals and needle style (and presumably maker) changes every 5 floors. None of the visuals are particularly appealing or ugly, and I had the game muted so I wouldn't know if the music changes too.
As far as the progression goes, the first 20 floors are completely inoffensive if unmemorable and mostly serve to ease you in. The rest is a mixed bag, both in regards to style, jtool gimmicks used (with most stages being pure needle), and quality, with 2 particular stages later on that stand out unfavorably. In the first, the design constraints movement in a way that can be best described to as "minimalist modern FTFA-like", forcing the player to make long horizontal jumps without hitting spikes that restrict their height. The other gave me the worst hand pain I've ever experienced while playing needle through the worst vine usage I've ever played, requiring precise positioning on vines to clear extremely cramped sections, with the jumps themselves being either fulljumps, low jumps off of vines, or just holding the jump button for 20 seconds trying to frantically hop from vine to vine using the precise spot where it works.
As far as the general needle design, the game has a tendency of randomly throwing jumps at you that are far more precise than you'd expect. There are only 3-4 stages mostly exempt from this after the first 10 floors, including the two mentioned above where all the jumps are equally obnoxiously precise (although at least the first of those has some short save screens). It is painfully obvious that this game was insufficiently tested (with only 1 tester credited in the readme).
All in all, I feel as though the current reviews understate how bad this game gets at its worst, to the point I came into it with low expectations and morbid curiosity yet still managed to be left disappointed and frustrated. While I will note that I have not played needle in quite a while prior to it and was a bit rusty, I do not think it was a significant factor in my experience. Would absolutely recommend to avoid playing this.
