I've been playing this fangame on/off for the last few months and I've enjoyed it more and more as I got better at it. I hope I'll finish it one day. Difficulty is based on the bad ending.

A timeless classic, with mostly stellar gameplay design, even for gimmicks I'm not a fan of, like Reveal Spoiler . I'm extra impressed by the fact that most rooms hold well, with minimal modifications, after Reveal Spoiler . That being said, I'm happy I waited until now to aim for the true ending, because 2022 voracious would have found it very frustrating!
I'd definitely recommend the any% ending for anyone, even beginners, since NANG is a game that lends itself well to revisit after your skills increase, and true ending for more experienced fangamers. Overall I enjoyed it, it never became boring despite its length, and even the more frustrating floors were worth grinding for the satisfaction of the clear.

This was my first fangame I ever finished (other than vine tutorial but ignore that) and I can't say I'm disappointed at all. This is definitely one of the most polished fangames out there, and the gameplay doesn't indicate otherwise. Each stage has its own unique mechanic which is explored well throughout each floor within the stage. There were no real sudden difficulty spikes, except for maybe Reveal Spoiler , so it felt mostly smooth there out. Spoilers for some of the game, but I must say Reveal Spoiler That's the only part of the game I remember heavily disliking, but everything else is at worst mediocre, with its highs being some of the best in the whole fangame business.
I would recommend this to any player, and although beginners probably shouldn't start with it, it should be definitely within their highly prioritized games to play. I do believe the difficulty is a little higher than it should be, which can easily scare off some newer players, so maybe don't wait too long as the struggle only makes it better.

Based on True Ending clear. Huge game, definitely worth it's fame, one of the best needle in terms of production and design

Visuals are good (amazing in some parts, especially some cool looking effects, but some parts look pretty bland), music choices are amazing, and the story/humor as an added element works very well.
As for the gameplay, it's a very comprehensive needle game. Unfortunately, in it's comprehensiveness, you'll probably have some gimmicks that you don't like, even though they're used pretty well.
The balance is good for the first half, but in the second half the balance is pretty poor: some screens are almost free, while others are the hardest screens in the game.
It's decently difficult, but because a lot of the difficulty comes from having to learn the gimmicks, it's still pretty approachable for beginners. Difficulty rating is for bad ending, true ending is around a 67, and 100% achievements I'd estimate to be around 80 (i didn't do them).
