simple, good, effective fun. I feel it's a little overrated in terms of difficulty and underrated in terms of quality

amazing crimson needle game, massively improving on CN1. needle may be less memorable than usual, but the game sure as hell delivers on pretty much everything else. for every bad needle idea CN1 has, this game has 10 infinitely better ones. this game is so far removed from CN1 that it's somewhat difficult to tell that they're from the same series. I didn't use jtool through this entire game, as I felt it wasn't really necessary - in the spirit of a truly blind playthrough. admittedly, I hadn't seen much of this game before playing it, which I feel made it much more fun. I recommend that you don't use jtool either, unless you get stuck on something for a while.
the only issue with this game is that the needle is somewhat forgettable, as I don't even remember a lot of the tilesets I apparently spent time playing. this doesn't mean the needle is bad, but I can only remember a handful of notable screens. the needle is fantastic though, don't get me wrong. just the type of stuff I enjoy. F100 is quite rough, as the last screen is very easy to choke despite being somewhat easy on its own. in my opinion, the sum of floors F1-F99 don't equal F100's difficulty.
the final boss is a very well-designed masterpiece, and a faithful remake of The Four Gods at that. it's the best crimson fight I've ever played or likely ever will - it'll be very hard to top this one. it can be a bit tilting if you make dumb mistakes or shoot them in the wrong order. you can also get walled sometimes if you don't pay attention and that is quite infuriating when it happens. this unfortunately seems to happen somewhat often, which is my main complaint with the fight. the concept of the bosses merging after being individually killed is very unique and interesting. the whole second phase [sic] is really interesting and well thought out; having to balance out damaging both of the bosses was quite the challenge, but it was all worth it in the end. a truly timeless masterpiece that will forever stand the test of time

essentially the same as the original treasure hunter, with every boss nerfed by a substantial amount - ESPECIALLY miku, the hidden dolphin boss and the bouncing block boss. the game is 95% boss-dependant and the platforming is next to non-existant. also the game’s best enjoyed by just figuring stuff out on your own, but that’s just how I’d do it.
this game is also vaguely reminiscent of Maze, if anyone even remembers that game nowadays

fairly long needle game with a good amount of not-too-difficult but certainly different stages. definitely best enjoyed with extra, as that’s a good chunk of some of the game’s best needle. extra isn’t too far of a stretch in difficulty from the main game.
as for the individual stages, the game follows a fairly reasonable difficulty curve that makes progression steady and logical. the general needle style I’m not a huge fan of, but at this difficulty is tolerable and I’d even go as far as to say it works very well. imo when this needle gets to a certain difficulty, it just begins to feel like pure memorization. this game does approach this level of needle bullshittery near the end of the last stage, the triple jump tower. the pathing gets quite complex and annoying to figure out. this is purely a me thing, so your experience is likely going to vary. I’m a bit of a self-proclaimed “needle boomer” and I don’t like needle that’s a little too experimental for my taste.
other than that, this game’s great and easily enjoyable. would recommend!

dagger was never an avoidance maker in my book, and I’ve never seen him or thought of him as one. I didn’t expect much of this game solely because of this belief. as you probably know, going into something with the expectation that it’s not going to be good - and then it turns out it’s actually alright - often produces an a illusion of much higher quality than is actually present.
in layman terms: thinking something sucks, then when it’s even half good, it suddenly appears really good.
this avoidance isn’t bad by any means, but it isn’t anything special. there’s attacks you’ve likely already seen combined with visuals you’ve likely already seen and a song you’ve likely already heard. it isn’t generic, but definitely is right on the border. the avoidance is balanced somewhat well and overall isn’t too notable in much else. the hitboxes are kinda weird too sometimes, but that’s mostly stomachable.
don’t know if I should recommend this or not, I suppose if you’re good enough you should definitely at least try it
