It is a fun avoidance game.As long as you can get the needle through, evasion is possible with effort. The difficulty level is about 65 for the needle and 70 for avoidance, based on current standards.
I recommend it.

Oldschool fangame consisting of two short needle stages that can be played in any order followed by an avoidance. The needle is harmless, but bland, somewhat generic and not very fun in my book. The last saves of both stages are appropriately harder than the rest, but not by an overwhelming margin.
The avoidance, on the other hand, is pretty good in my book, even by today’s standards. It alternates between super fast and super dense attacks to create a pretty challenging experience whose difficulty stays consistent throughout. It’s engaging, intense and even kinda creative, with some of those half-a-second-long attacks that have become popular in modern avoidances (Shoutouts to the forced lag rain, it’s way more interesting than it sounds). To top it off, I’m going to go against the flow and say that the luck factor in this game is pretty small. I mean, walls exist, but they are rare in most attacks except for the blue spray after Lag Rain. Most often, the game will give you tough, but dodgeable RNG.
I liked this game. I mean, I liked the avoidance, and the needle feels like an afterthought in comparison. Would recommend.

A pretty old needle/avoidance collab. Unfortunately, neither seem to have aged all that well, with the needle, while not being "generic" and having some fun jumps sometimes, suffering from a lot of the jumps being precise in uncomfortable way, and the avoidance, while having a good song, decent visuals and a few fun attacks, suffering a lot from RNG issues all the way throughout especially on the final attack, which just feels outright luck-based to an extent. The lovetrap attack right before final is also pretty annoying to learn and execute.
Overall, while it's still decently fun, I wouldn't really recommend it, especially over a lot of the more modern and better-balanced needle and avoidance games.

A short game with two different needle warps that must be cleared in order to get to a difficult avoidance fight.
You play this game for the avoidance, it is fast-paced, difficult, has a good song and is overall entertaining and exciting. The needle stages had good design but the lengths of each leave a lot to be desired.
