80% of the screens are really fun, but I can't stand the reverse gravity gimmick. Overall there is a wide range of platforming designs along with some interesting gimmicks.

Rating based on normal difficulty.

Definitely a classic, I respect the artistic vision, and most of it has aged pretty well, but the saves I disliked, I really disliked because they felt like meatgrinders. Still a solid recommend if you appreciate the dark atmospheric games it inspired, and have a bit of patience.

It just... wasn't that fun. The atmosphere is perfect, though.

I still think to this day that the atmosphere in this game is unmatched. This game has some of the most memorable screens in fangames. While i rate this game very high; it has a major downfall, that being the needle. Some stages like the first and the alternating spikes are great, however others, like the second stage and some individual screens are very mediocre. Having the atmosphere be this great does hide it well sometimes, that's why it only changes my rating a little bit.
