Long platfoming-based game with 11 stages and 5(?) secrets. I enjoyed pretty much all of it. Every stage is different in its own way and the secrets are well thought out. I loved the final area, especially the music (which I may or may not have used in cultured 2)

Rating includes no secrets. (Will update once extra stage is complete)
Loved this game and is one of the best 100 floor games ever made in my opinion. Got many gimmicks that are used throughout and even though the game is hard, it is doable without having to farm saves for ages which is always good. If you like gimmick games, especially long ones, definitely play this!

In a lot of ways this game feels NANG inspired, with it's short single save rooms centralized around an overarching gimmick for a stage. A lot of it is really enjoyable too, I think the difficulty hikes a significant amount towards the which might be a lot for some players, but there's no real bad stages. If I had to list a weak point, I didn't entirely click with the 10th stage, but the rest was super cool, the extra stage was a big highlight so I recommend getting the secrets!

Very enjoyable and downright impressive for gm8. Only thing I didn't enjoy was the extra stage. The gimmick of the shootable boosters was pretty frustrating, especially on screen 4.

A cute little needle game with stages focused on basic gimmicks. The needle is pretty cool, and feels very chill. Definitely ahead of its time in some ways. From a modern standpoint, it doesn't innovate too much, but that's not necessarily a negative, as it makes fun stuff by playing it safe. The secrets are a bit more out there, and I think are definitely the highlight of the game. The extra stage kinda perfects the formula, using its gimmick to create some really fun jumps.

A very fun 100 floor game with some great gimmicks like the jump+shoot gimmick and a neat soundtrack. A few saves are somewhat annoying, but nothing to really ruin the experience. Give it a go if you can handle the gimmicks.

This review is based on a 100% completion of the game.
Fairly decent game for its time. I really like the aesthetic of being nostalgic retro.
Save balancing in this game is okay for the most part, but the saves get questionable in balancing towards the end. The extra stage also falls into this problem of having some saves being decent while some are not consistent.
I am giving this a higher score mainly because of the feeling, music, and visuals of the game.

This was very good for the time in which it was released. Some parts are still good; I think stage 4—the catharsis-esque visuals—contains some high-quality screens. For people who enjoy the jump+shoot gimmick, stage 8 has held up well overall, though I personally despise it.
The platforming is of questionable quality. Most of it is gates, diagonals, and f-jump variants. It's never outright bad, but, particularly in later stages, they're placed late in a save in such a way that they kind of suck to do. It's not fun dying to a diagonal at the end of a long save.
Save placement is okay for the most part, but sometimes it doesn't make sense in conjunction with the platforming. Stages 8 and 10 are the most egregious offenders here.
The visuals are generally fine, though it can be hard to see which spikes are active in stage 8.
Overall, there's a good but not great experience to be had from this game for the right player.

For its time I find this needle game very impressive, and it really feels like it gets better as the game progresses, peaking in the EX stage if you go for all secrets. It starts getting quirkier with the platforming and the gimmicks are used in really smooth and fun ways.
