Well, I meant to review this 6 months ago, but I figured I'd wait until I got all of the achievements (some of which took quite a lot of time.)
This is a needle game and it is as good as it gets, from the atmosphere, to the production value, to the pretty much anything you can think of that may constitute a good needle game. Even though it is a bit challenging, even new players can most likely get at least the bad ending with a bit of patience and won't regret doing so. Even if needle isn't your thing, I'd still recommend checking this out.
Difficulty based off of the bad ending....true ending would lie at about a 75 in my opinion.

The volume of the game is vast.
The difficulty is well-balanced(mostly).
All the Gimmicks are unique and well-executed.
The musics are awesome.
I never got so passionate by playing a needle game. I think this is the needle game at its best.

Perfect needle fangame, nice gimmicks, funny comments and jokes in every single room. (well, ,,Floor x begin", rly...? Kappa) Well designed, balanced, jumps are used in intelligent way often leaving first-time player thinking, GENIUS way of telling player where secret could be, secrets themselves very challenging compared to the stages they're in, many endings, lots of achievements (oboy they are hard to get), and speedrunning potential.
Water stage was my favorite, the water sound makes me Kreygasm and this is best water you can get in fangames - gives DJump back, and jumping out of it is like DJump height.
Geezer is one of best, if not the best fangame creator of all time, knows a lot about the GM and his style is my favorite when it comes to needle, clever jumps that make player think. Hopefully one day I'll be able to put enough effort into game to be as good as NANG in terms of gameplay, but the production value I'll be dreamin' of. ;)

I'll update this when I 100% Clear it, so for now the review applies to the bad ending without the use of any TNT (for non-spoilers, it's not 100%)
I do think it's an amazing game overall, it's incredibly high quality and has so much charm to it, I also think all the positives have already been well-stated by other reviewers, but it is a great amount of fun with so many good gimmicks that have been well used and is very funny aswell.
my only real complaint is that there is no pause menu, at first admittedly i was hesitant on pressing esc incase i had to re-launch the whole game again, and this might be schizophrenia, but i swear, when i was perfectly safe sometimes i would be afk and die when not looking at the screen after a while... maybe this game is just haunted though (this didn't change my rating given ofc dont worry)
otherwise, i did think screens 170-180 were too difficult or just inconsistent, i found room 180 to be possibly the easiest aswell other than the last jump before the 2nd save, and many of the other rooms were somewhat demotivating to play due to having very quick inputs back to back, atleast i found it that my keyboard did not want to co-operate sometimes, and in general i think they are such a difficulty spike, the rest of the game is like ~40-50 diff needle gameplay if you have a base understanding of each gimmick, and then i found those 10 rooms to be ~60 diff, i also think it's a big of a weird state for new players, because i could see those 10 rooms to be incredibly infuriating for players who would have to spend a considerable amount of time on them, but overall, i didn't find it too be much of an issue, certainly not enough to lower the rating much, and i'd still recommend it.
overall, game is amazing, love it, would highly recommend, will be going for the 100% clear soon after i finish some other things aswell!
