surprised no review mentions the obvious catharsis influence here. its a pretty short needle game, consisting of 3 stages, although its only about 9 or 10 saves total. The aesthetic is nice and there was obviously a vision from the creator here, at least aesthetically. The low production value hampers the experience after the first stage, but the music picks were mostly on point. The needle leaves a lot to be desired, and the slope-needle rooms come off as annoying rather than unique.
It's the first game from this creator, so I won't leave any harsh rating, because despite the shortcomings I see a lot of potential here, and I think with more gamemaker experience and more time spent designing needle and learning what works, we could easily see a masterpiece from this creator.
If you intend on playing this, just know the overall diff rating is not accurate at all, and that the first screen (especially save 3) is by far the hardest part.

For: YoYoYo Engine (RBN Edition)
I have mostly used the older version of RBN engine so some of what I say here may not be 100% accurate, but I think the general sentiment still applies. Feel free to correct anything incorrect here.
RBN engine is somewhere between NANE and YoYoYo studio, being a feature heavy engine with lots of pre-made gimmicks and assets. I think the main edge this engine has is the lack of resource tree clutter; it's far easier to find an object I need compared to NANE, where every non-YoYoYo gimmick is stuffed into a cluttered 'new' folder. as others have pointed out, the trigger system is a huge improvement over YoYoYo, and honestly the best trigger system I have seen, although I would have preferred the init being inside a universally usable script, so any object could be activated by triggers out of the box, rather than needing to use trigger spikes and do object-parent shenanigans for anything else. Another great addition is the new god-mode in debug, which has a visual and auditory indicator for when you would have died, which makes testing far more streamlined and its probably my most loved part of this engine. It seriously makes testing so much easier.
It still comes with its quirks, though. The sprite skin system uses a script to draw the spike/fruit/etc sprites for each room which can make simpler visuals easier to achieve if you have a very standard stage-based game. This comes at the cost of being able to easily implement more advanced/varied visuals within a room, and also familiarity. For the average person making a simple needle game, this isn't a real issue.
The biggest issue with the engine, for me, is how much of a headache it can be to change any engine-default assets. The blame isn't entirely on RBN engine here, a lot of it is on YoYoYo engine (5 seperate objects just to handle the title screen + menus, why?), but it still comes into play if you use this engine. Lots of small inconsistencies here and there that make any bigger project somewhat of a pain to manage.
Overall, if you want to make gimmick needle, this is the better place to start over NANE or YoYoYo, but if you
already have a good grasp on gamemaker and want to do something bigger, or maybe just want to learn to use gamemaker better through programming stuff yourself, try a more barebones engine.
no rating because I don't want engines in my ratings, but I'd give it an 8.5/10
