horrifically and unfairly maligned, this needle and boss both kick ass. I'm actually glad this isn't part of locus because this is so so so much better than that game and that means you can just skip right to this. final boss isnt as unfair as a handful of people claim, it just takes time to learn how to approach it and react to what kind of situations it can put you in. Its like a rukito boss if it were balanced really well

needle is cramped and outdated, but the boss is absolutely incredible, very fun to learn how it works and how to adapt to the situations it puts you in, and the blisteringly fast pace of the boss keeps it entertaining long after you've learned all the attacks and what the boss can do.

extremely creative fangame with a ton of heart put into it. Clear inspiration from the earlier days of eastern fangames, with the design being focused heavily around specific ideas and concepts rather than focusing on the feel of the inputs. Basically every single save throws something entirely new at you, so you never feel like you are just doing more of the same needle dressed up in different ways. I love the attention to detail and and faithfulness not only to the style of design being explored here, but also the care put into making it fit in aesthetically as well. The overdrive Reisen on the difficulty select, the use of default assets (especially ones that have fallen out of favor nowadays like the cloud, stars, and tree), the old System font and deathtime window title—all of it comes together for an incredibly charming game. Make sure you don't miss out on this one.

easy precision 100f game. difficulty balance is a flat line, pretty much half of the entire game is made up of first-try-able saves if you know what you are doing, but theres a couple meat grinder saves.

While Fine-House felt like a shining example of how to make incredible, interesting needle at a beginner's difficulty level, this game feels like it's lacking a lot of the core components of what made Fine-House so wonderful. All of the gimmicks are gone- there's a handful of moving objects and the last stage has some triggers but its all stock engine stuff. Which is fine, the needle design here is generally pretty good (there are a handful of jumps I think are way too awkward for a game of this difficulty caliber, but otherwise nothing to complain about), but the needle is definitely lacking in identity. Obviously the game is a tribute to Wolfie's style (and Vandal especially), but I think what made Fine-House so great were the use of set-pieces and memorable gameplay ideas, rather than just a straight shot of over-smoothed needle jumps; it's the vodka of needle games.
My favorite save by no coincidence is the one with a big wheel of cherries inside of cube of water that you have to navigate around, and I wished there were more saves like that one. There's 4 stages in the game, but really only one of them makes use of it's theme. The first stage is vanilla needle, so sure, we'll give that one a pass. The second stage seems to be themed around water, although as I write this I struggle to remember any water jumps, just a couple places that had water for pathing. The third stage was themed around... cluttered spike formations? Most of this stage plays the same as stage 1 but with outline spikes forming fancy shapes and some circle killers to make the layouts of the screens look very hectic, but there's no real gameplay theme here. Funnily enough, this is the stage that actually has the water/wheel save mentioned earlier. The final stage is a trigger needle, and is probably the best overall stage. The boss at the end is fun, not really much to say about it.
I know it probably sounds like I'm complaining a lot in this review, but its a short <10 minute game without a ton to talk about, and I'm just going off the things that stuck out to me; it's still a very good game and one of the elusive few truly good beginner needle games.
TL;DR the game is great, but doesn't live up to the expectations set by Fine-House and Heavenly Host
