This game can only be described as a "wasted potential". There are many moments that you think "wow, I really like this, this is neat", but there are 10 times more moments "Game, WHY are you like this".

This is a collection of "neat" ideas disguised as a game. There is no sense of progression of any sorts, no great feats to achieve, only generic jumps and generic traps placed everywhere, so you are only left with hopes that the game soon ends. There is even a moment when you hear some non-restarting music and get some legit hard jumps, thinking "wow, this must be the final stage, it will finally be over", but then you get one more stage, which has a "neat" idea of reverse spotlight, how convenient.

The game has some charming and cozy vibes to it, the ideas are in fact cool, shame that they drown in generic traps and uninventive gameplay.

Very fun and pretty easy trap game with some good 2023 memes!
For a secret Santa submission made in one month it is a great game

Medley of maker's previous works. It's supposed to show the yang's progress and their growth as a maker, but so far only things i see are that the lack of playtesting remains lack of playtesting, lack of production value remains lack of production value and annoying gameplay remains annoying gameplay. Some screens were changed from their original, some additional spikes here and there. Perhaps visuals get progressively more complicated, but can visuals really make mediocre game enjoyable? Absolutely no.


There is a secret item, in a usual korean medley fashion, requiring you to do a pretty long backtrack. But getting it is annoying and it doesn't do anything. The item itself looks like a gun, so probably it was supposed to be autofire. Which would have actually come in handy for the boss. So much fun mashing shoot button for few minutes.

Another atrocious moment is that the last screen doesn't give you savepoint at the start nor there is autosave and there is a cannon that aims at you and shoots bullets, and you are pretty much dead if you didn't react in time. Very fun replaying previous screen again.


EDIT: I have decided to reduce hate in this review. Simply I didn't like this and my expectations are not met. I would love to see this maker getting better with needle design and actually get playtesters.

This game was made during IWC's Secret Santa 2022 event for me (shaperones), so here i write my thoughts about this game.

Difficulty: 51
Recommended needle skill: 60+

This game is a short adventure with needle and riddle puzzle elements. Puzzles are pretty chill and solvable without much problem, but one does require some slightly obscure knowledge, that being names of blocks in tetris. Also you might have to travel around the same needle screens several times, so I really recommend you to screenshot the riddles as you see them, as well as rooms themselves. Could have really used some sort of a shortcut but luckily the platforming is not annoying to play through 2-3 times. Overall I enjoyed this experience.
