I love experimental needle, and with it's only up spike needle, Untitled40 certainly qualifies. The jumps are all interesting, and the spike limitation creates a great constraint on movement. The author has to do different things to enforce familiar maneuvers, and it's really cool to see. The jumps themselves are very heavy on bonk jumps, and on don't-bonk jumps. This makes it feel very unique to play, as most games use these jumps in limitation. Sometimes its a bit awkward, and lends itself to saves whos difficulty hinges on one jump. However, the uniquity of the game makes it much more memorable, and I think it should be played by anyone who seeks unique experiences.

Really fun needle game with three stages, each using monochrome sprites. There's a cool visual effect at the screen edges, but most of the aesthetic beauty comes from spike patterns. Something I love in fangames is that you can create beautiful looking screens with just spikes and the fill tool, and this game exemplifies that. The screens use pseudo-symmetry very well to create interesting paths through Rorschach test images. The platforming itself is really fun, with unique usage of jumps and fun movements taking advantage of the cool spike patterns. The game uses water and triple jump really well, and combined with the focus on spike patterns, makes this reminiscent of Phonotransmitter in a lot of ways. Phonotransmitter is one of my favorite needle games, so that's a huge compliment. Something about the combination of water and triple jump makes awesome segments, and I can only hope more games follow that path.

A fun jtool needle game. Despite being solely jtool needle, each stage feels unique. The game uses a lot of vstring setups which I like, though it seems to use them less as the game progresses.

Visually appealing needle game with three stages. The intro is really easy, and nothing special. Then there's a hub, the left warp is shorter precision focused saves, while the right is more normal needle. The left warp felt a bit more unique, but neither of them are super creative. However it's still competent needle with nice visuals so it's a decent recommend.

This game is definitely not for beginners. Platforming isn't hard, but bosses would be.

Pretty fun needle game with several long stages. The cutscenes are cute, and add some fangame humor to the game, which is moderately rare in needle game. The mario powerup gimmicks are really cool, with some fun hitbox changing and minor puzzle elements. Unfortunately, the last stage is kinda unfun. The conveyors are too fast, and only used for unpleasant jumps. However, overall the game is pretty good and decently recommended.

Very solid needle game with decent variety in styles. Aside from a few saves, the main problem with the game was visibility in certain areas where it was difficult to see water or even blocks at times, but it wasn't enough to really bother me.

Six short jtool needle stages. The ones involving gravity arrows have some neat pathing but the game is otherwise... uninteresting. Not bad, just kinda there.
