An all-around pretty terrible experience. While I can appreciate the historical context of this game being more ambitious than the needle games that came before it, as well as the tributes to other fangames through the different tilesets, and this being Kale's first fangame, the end result is not very fun to play through. I struggle to find any positive things about my playthrough of this game besides the abruptly ending music and wacky difficulty balancing sometimes making me laugh. In addition to being largely uninteresting and unbalanced, there are numerous jumps that feel horrible to execute. The final floor alone encapsulates this, having one precise hard jump and the rest of the jumps being basic needle jumps to choke on.

I would not recommend playing this, but if for whatever reason you insist on playing it I would recommend playing the speedrun version (which I did not play) which nerfs a few things, although most of the nerfs are pretty minor (except for floor 92) and a lot of the issues of the main game are still present.

It was my first serious needle challenge, so i has some special relations with this game. It was pretty hard and torturing sometimes, but for the most part the game give me a lot of fun, so i can't complain about it too much. The only two saves in the game that i heavily dislike are save 2 on F82 and F92, first one is just balls hard and unfun to execute, and second one is... it's sure is. The rest of the saves varies from very fun to okay, even tho F78 and F100 are also not good. On the other side floors like F63, F64-65, F71, F73 are pretty awesome and memorable

All in all, after second playthrough i still like this game. Sequel definitely did some work on mistakes, but this one is still playable. Considering how old this is, it's nice ambigious attempt at making big chungus needle and it could be ended up being much worse

This is game is a marathon of medium-very hard needle. Its pretty relaxing to just turn it on and spam shift/R in a half-hour session.

I have sinked in many hours in this game and the only downside I have experienced so far are the music choices which are not my taste. I didn't really mind and just pressed Ctrl+M to play my own.

If you are going to play this game. Please keep in mind that the difficulty is a complete rollercoaster. All in all, this game is extremely long, has a lot of variety in spikejumps and is extremely hard in the later parts.

I'm not a big fan of all the hype (why is a speedrun version even a thing?) but this game is something you should have played if you are an experienced plattformer.
