This review is based on a 100% clear, although it doesn't affect the rating.
Super underrated in my opinion, I think this game is really charming and cute and despite the simple presentation, is very varied and creative. It wears it's inspirations very clearly but still managed to feel distinct due to the central mechanic, collecting cute like orb characters to make progress. It's very obtuse at times but it's really fun! I would definitely check it out.
Update for 100%:
Some of the secret stuff is honestly really sick, I think it's at least worth doing all the stuff besides the lottery. Under the simple exterior is some really cool stages and platforming.

Very weird and sorta disjointed adventure game with lots of variety, so might as well talk about everything in chronological order. The first two stages are trap based adventure stages, I'm really not too big on them because I think they have a few too many traps, which I wouldn't mind if most of them weren't just killing you without really any interesting, throughout the game there's a few good ones but I'm not really big on this kind of trap gameplay. There's also two easy bosses which are kinda cute. The third stage of platforming ramps things up before the namesake of the game, the Bingo avoidance, which tripled my playtime (it took less than 40 minutes to reach and by the time I was done, I was nearly at 2 hours.) It's a decent avoidance, some of the patterns are kinda silly and instagibby and the RNG interlude in the middle is super annoying, but it's pretty alright.
So the game continues after this surprisingly, and the fourth stage is very odd. It starts with a stage which probably has the best traps in the game but again has too many for my taste especially since these saves are really long. After this comes a... really hard line needle thing? Like there's no gimmicks here it's just high 60s low 70s difficulty needle that's alright, I don't love it, especially that Indigo precision needle screen, but it's fine. The final avoidance is mostly good, but it has a lot of this one type of attack I can only explain by describing, where it's a basic barrage from the center, however it's pattern so while you can read it like RNG, it makes little attempts to pseudo-wall you, so you are better off memorizing visual cues which makes it kinda repetitive, it appears in a lot of older avoidances and like dagger/tsuta stuff. Besides that it's good, just a few minor complaints, which is how I describe the whole game. It's overall good but there's just a few things which hold it back in my opinion, and over an entire game those few things start to add up. It's still far from bad however, just not great.

Interesting game, there's one main gimmick holding everything together, the character swap mechanic, and the game uses it quite well. It makes for a very interesting game especially in the platforming department, but unfortunately the game loses this quality in the bosses which tend to be long, tedious, and annoying. They take up a pretty small part of playtime, so it's not a huge deal, but they definitely tank my rating a bit. Some of the saves are great, and there two puzzly areas which aren't my favorite thing in the world, I'm not a big fan of puzzle needle saves, but also the puzzles aren't that hard so it's not a huge deal, and I'm sure others will like them way more than me. Cool game, I like it a lot.

This review is based on the normal version without the speedrun friendly nerfs.
What a magnificent disaster of a game, I mean it seriously when I say this is by far the worst needle game I've played as of writing this review, but unlike crimson needle 2 which feels like an endless void of blandness and mild annoyance, this game feels like a train that crashed into a train which had already crashed into a 4 way train intersection. It's just such an incredible mess that it's almost admirable because at it's core you can find a game which deep down, has potential, and would bloom into far better games, but WOW was the execution wrong here. This game just Gish gallops the player with the most heinous and horrendous jumps you could find, ridiculously unbalanced saves, a disgusting amount of low double jumps for a game which disables numpad, and grindy jumps at the start of saves. Everything you can find in needle that I personally dislike can be found in spades in this game, and once you reach the 40s, all the cards are on the table. It's honestly impressive at times, it almost feels like an art piece, an exhibition of what needle can be like when you don't hold yourself back at all and throw everything at the wall to see what sticks. Not only is this my choice for the hardest CN game, it's also my vote for the worst. It's absolutely horrendous in the most beautiful way possible.

Considering this game has very few gimmicks throughout, and the ones it does have are a bit simplistic, it's absolutely jaw dropping that this game feels so creative in spite of that. So many unique jumps throughout this game give it a totally distinct feeling which has so much charm and passion that it can be felt throughout each and every save. Now not everything is a hit, there's a handful of annoying jumps and the difficulty balance is all over the place, but these minor negative points are easily offset by a game which radiates such a wonderfully unique atmosphere in both it's gameplay, music, and visuals. A masterpiece, albeit not a perfect one.
