A 50 floor needle game inspired by I wanna be the Crimson Needle. I attempted to re-create the original game author's style while still making original needle screens. This game turned out more difficult than I thought it would and I had to stop making it halfway through or else I wouldn't even be able to beat it myself. The soundtrack is mainly comprised of ambient music from Newgrounds but I also threw in some other tunes as well. Recommended to less advanced players who would like to improve in needle, or more skilled players who would like a chill needle game to play.

A nice 50 Floor needle game. As the name implies, the game follows the same format as the Crimson needle series where the rooms use sprites from other popular games, but the level designs are original. The game has good music and the level designs are good for a needle game since it doesn't use generic jumps. This game is not easy, but most of the segments are pretty fair even if a few are long. Highly recommended for any needle fan.

Hard and long needle game. If you're looking for a challenge like Crimson Needle I don't think you will enjoy this a lot (or maybe my expectations were a bit higher than usual when I played it). Game gets boring at some parts which are probably unnecessary and this game is more like a gimmick game than a needle game. I just felt like the creator didn't take it seriously at some parts.

Still, it's fun to play and grind and would recommend it to anyone who isn't super good at needle but wants to get better.

Decent 52-floor game with ups and downs. This game is inspired by Crimson Needle, and as such, it takes the visuals from other games (Not all of them are popular, but they aren't in the pit of the forgotten games either). The visuals change every 3 floors, and so does the level design. The game borrows more than just the visuals, taking even gimmicks from the other games. For example, at the Adventure Game floors, you'll see quite a bit of jump refreshers and gravity inversion. The level design, however, can be quite different from the original ones, and that can be for the better or for the worse.
As such, there are the normal floors, which will be more or less enjoyable according to the player, and then there are the ones that are simply unbearable, such as Adventure Game and Cultured (The jump refreshing never seems to go well in this game, moving platforms were tedious and annoying as hell, and Floor 49.9 made me want to...It was bad).
That being said, the game is well-designed, and has some interesting jumps, but the gameplay is often lacking. There's also the fact that the death sound is high enough to be a nuisance, which is a shame since the musics are quite nice and don't restart. If you're up to a long challenge, you might want to try this game out, but I'm not really sure if I would recommend it.

I think the age of this game has already passed, besides the fact that it is not the best for its time, it simply has not passed the test of time.The best part of the game is about going up to 25 floors, quite smoothly, you can play and get some semblance of pleasure.But then absolutely clumsy jumps begin almost everywhere, on every floor, and so on until the end of the game.The game is rather not complicated, but just annoying, kind of lame.The balance of complexity is uneven and unclear.Floor 49.9 is probably the most difficult thing in the game, but I will also note floor 48, in which without proper alignment one jump becomes almost impossible, for the sake of this alignment I returned and went through the entire first save without touching the walls, which was also quite strange.In general, I do not advise, the game has outlived its usefulness

Crimson ripoff is pretty dated and that is definitely felt. (Much like crimson needle 1.)
The gimmicks used are pretty annoying mostly and feel a bit awkward. The jumps are pretty standard, however i'm not sure how much so if it was compared to other games at the time of it's release. The difficulty curve was very all over the place for me with the late 20's and early 30's being the hardest, although i took a long break after so there could be increased skill.
Overall i still had some fun and can recommend this if you want some standard slightly challenging needle.
