For the most part a fun needle game, with some nice movements and pretty fun design. Each stage incorporates some small gimmicks, and I ultimately think limiting these to a single stage is to the game's detriment. The trigger usage in stage 2 is probably the highlight of the game, I wish they had existed in the subsequent stages.
The difficulty balance is a bit whack, especially in the final stage, where it becomes almost unbearable. Shoutouts to the penultimate save, which is frankly awful. It's far more precise than anything else, it manifests in a sequence of really unpleasant jumps.
Overall, this game is a tentative recommendation, although with the exception of a few saves in final stage it would be a full recommendation. Your call if you want to put up with that.

As one might expect from a game with so many creators making one floor each, Competitive Tower Climbing is a huge mixed bag. There are a lot of good floors in here, but they're dragged down by some unpleasant ones, with a few really annoying jumps mixed in. The game shines at the end, the screens that break out of the tower are cool visually, and feature some creative layouts.
The biggest detractor from the game is the difficulty balance. I found myself on multiple occasions taking several minutes on a screen only to beat the next in a few tries. Even within screens a lot of saves feel wildly different in terms of difficulty. I think a large balance pass and reordering of screens would've helped this game a lot.
Overall, a decent game that I would recommend, but it certainly has it's low points.

The one thing I have to say about this style of needle, it really makes you feel like a god. At least to me, this game feels much easier than it looks. That's not to say it's easy, but at times I was breezing through stuff that looked like it should be challenging!
Other than that, the game's really nothing special, it's a good deal of generic jumps. However, I would say that the room design does a pretty good job of making each save feel unique, despite said genericness. It's still not super standout, but it does make the game feel a bit more unique than you might expect.
Honestly, the highlight of the game is the long screen at the end of stage one, it felt like a cool break from the pace, and I wish something similar happened at the end of stage two.
Overall, a pretty fun game that I would say is worth playing. Although, I should qualify that by saying this is the kind of game that shines when you're above this skill level. A player who's right at this level might have a worse time, as this kind of design relies on experience.

Fun little needle game with some cool beginner-friendly screen length saves. I quite like the visuals, the first stage has some cool spike formations and good use of minispikes, the second is a neat line needle stage.

A fine little needle game, with some interesting jumps. I appreciate the aesthetics, I'm always a sucker for spike patterns. Ultimately though, not super memorable, and the presence of some interesting jumps doesn't change that. Also, one save starts off with an abysmally precise and annoying jump, that's significantly harder than the rest of the game.
