A fun and hard needle game, featuring a great song list and cool graphical effects, some courtesy of me.
Level design is consistently fun, the theming is great, and even with a bad keyboard I felt rewarded for making it through each save.
I recommend it to any advanced needle player!

A little late to rate this game, especially since I played it years ago. Basically: Don't play this, unless you either want to experience the strange anti-charm of this game for yourself or you have lots of people around to dampen the flawedness of it all.
It's a medley game, but interestingly it only takes the aesthetics and loose design ideas from the games it "copies", not actual screens. The aspect ratio is super weird, almost like they didn't know they could resize rooms. This game falls victim to almost all the common fangame tropes of the day, and there's not much to be said in terms of the mostly subpar needle and boss design.
This fangame is quite the learning experience as a maker, though. If you want to know what you should avoid in designing your fangame, just take notes from this fangame. You might be able to take a lot of them, too; despite having some really unapproachable flaws, the game is surprisingly possible. I managed to see it through to the end in about an hour, and it's obvious that some semblance of heart was put into making this game exist. If this doesn't sound like your cup of tea, though, that's OK. Not all games are meant to be played. Some more than others.

A pretty neat avoidance which, while being surely possible, is also really hard. I did help test this and balanced out the attacks a bit. It's really fun to grind because there's a bunch of different attacks which require different types of reading, and there's even the dot mode for if your dodges are a little sloppy. I'd recommend this to anyone who's good with avoidance. (It also looks and sounds cool! I dig the music.)

A large collection of different needle games, many of which have pretty kicking graphics. One of my favoritse, XIFT, has a great graphic style and effect as well. It's pretty freaking hard, so I recommend to good grinders/needle players.

A terrifying and hard game to beat, featuring the three worst things possible ONLY because they are put together: A time limit (featuring good but incredibly stressful music), no R to restart (there's deaths which spend a lot of time which makes the timer even worse), and screen effects that, while they ARE good-looking, are sometimes very distracting from your needle ability. I'd say that taking away any of the factors in a way that makes the game good in production value while still managing to make the game less stressful would be very good, as the needle design is still decent to some respect and the graphics are damn fine. Only recommended to people who have a lot of time to spend.
