There's a lot of good needle to be found here, especially from floor 20 onward - sadly the first few floors are forgettable, the visuals and the music are lackluster, and there's a couple painful platform jumps along the way that make it grindier than I would have preferred. There's also a fair amount of full jumps, which I don't particularly mind but it's worth noting.
Would recommend to veterans and players with courage and determination.

The visuals and atmosphere are great, and 90% of the rooms range from good to great, I especially enjoyed the minigames and cycle-based rooms
The trap room sucks, mostly because the jumps are too precise, especially the drop into the penalty room, and the penalty room itself should warp you back to the save you were on, not the beginning. The ending troll is also rather mean.
Overall would recommend, but not to complete beginners!

There's a couple platform jumps that feel very out of place, but the rest of the game is pretty solid - fun jumps, good usage of vines and water and platforms, visuals are nice on the eyes, and well balanced saves. Keep in mind the 2-block drop setup for the final screen!

The good parts: great pathing, nice visuals, most saves are fun and balanced.
The not so good parts: The music grated on me after a while, and some jumps are a significant difficulty spike, most notably a FTFA-like jump in the middle of a save and several vine jumps into a tbone (one of them in a save with an underwater dplane on top of that!)
It is a well-known tenet that restrictions breed creativity, but if you restrict yourself too much then that doesn't work too well, and sadly with 32px grid needle I feel one can only do so much without either going into FTFA territory (which is not bad per se, but not my cup of tea) or spamming named jumps (challenge: count all the tbones in screenshot 1/3)
It's still a decent needle game, and I'm glad I cleared it despite being outside my comfort zone. Looking forward to seeing what AlexBrogan can do in a less restrictive context.

The backgrounds are too cluttered to my taste, with excess decorations that makes it harder to read than necessary - except the third stage, which is very pleasant to look at. The gameplay and pathing are very good - a solid recommendation for beginners.
