Here's what Witch's Tower did right relative to the Witch's Needle:
- Feels much more cohesive and like a real game as opposed to a bunch of screens glued together haphazardly. This has been done through improving the visuals and using logical screen transitions in lieu of warps. Plus, some screens are literally connected (in a way that is later done to utter perfection in Vandal), further enhancing the feeling of genuine progression.
- Platforming is MUCH better, making it much more evident that this is by the same person who made Vandal. Nearly everything feels beautiful to pull off and smooth in such a way that reminds one of their bottom as a baby (my Lord, what a dumb phrase that was). Not only is the platforming better to play, though, it's also much more inventive and unique. Gone are the days of platform spike jumps copy-pasted throughout ever screen, now you'd be hard-pressed to find any repeated jumps within five screens of each other at least.

The fuck you looking for? This shit is a direct upgrade.
Really, I take no issue with this game at all. There were a couple saves that were more grindy than others, but I wouldn't say they were worse than other saves in terms of quality. On the topic of difficulty, the difficulty scaling is excellent and feels really natural. From beginning to end, you will find almost no spikes in difficulty aside from those previously-mentioned grindy saves (which were mostly located in the final two stages). The best stage is the last one, naturally, but every stage was excellent.
Highly recommended if you enjoy needle to any degree.

Overall, I had a great time with this game. Most stages ranged from pretty good to excellent and rarely did I find myself wholly unhappy with a stage aside from Zebbe94 and Dlaston's stage (the latter due to the over-usage of generic traps and the former because the boos were extremely irritating to deal with. Otherwise, I'd recommend every stage here to some degree. The production value is insane and the variety alone is more than enough to keep the player occupied for the duration of the game.
The ??? stage is overall far too long and far too much of a mixed bag. Nothing here is bad outright, though the heart section comes a bit close, but I was tired of it by the second-to-last section. If the thwomp and heart section were cut out, I'd have liked this bit a lot more. The final section is the best, but mostly because of the music; otherwise, Dribix's section (the one which has Megalovania) is the best.

For: I wanna Weave Through the Witch's Needle
For a first game, this is an excellent game. Otherwise, this is just an alright game. The platforming is for the most part enjoyable and feels good to pull off, but as the game progressed and the difficulty ramped up, that feeling of satisfaction started to fall away from the experience. Indeed, the last stage is the least enjoyable one in the game, and the 4th stage is not far behind. There were very few jumps that I was really happy to pull off; for the most part, I wasn't having that good of a time for the duration of the last two stages. There were even a few irritating sections here and there. The game became a grind in a negative way, I'm sad to say.
Perhaps that negative grind experience comes with the fact that the game felt rather disjointed. The only glue to keep each stage together was the stage cards for each and the similar aesthetics. Witch's Needle felt like an under-10 screen needle game stretched over 30 screens, and by the end I was rather tired of the experience.
Just play his later games, honestly. Only recommended if you've gone through Wolfi's games and are desperate for more or if you want to see Wolfi's progression as a fangame maker.

This is the progenitor of I Wanna be the Kaleidoscope, another great game from Habluka. Vidro is a bit easier and much shorter than Kaleidoscope, though, and is inferior in essentially every way; however, I still quite liked the game. I love the chill and peaceful experienced offered in games like this or Kaleidoscope.
The needle is not outrageously good or anything, and the last screen is a tad bit irritating (though not hard). Thus, the avoidance is the highlight here, but it is too short to make a lasting impression. Nonetheless, I heavily recommend this for a ten minute promenade.

I will not give this an actual rating as it's essentially not even a game. There are three screens: the title, the platforming, and the clear room. This game is obviously meant to be a joke, as evidenced by the readme and the lack of anything in the game. Surprisingly enough, the visuals are actually pretty good. I'd like to see them in an actual game.
