This game is a carefully crafted masterpiece.
Each stage has a needle segment, then you get the choice between one screen of needle or a boss/avoidance (you can, and should, do both).
The needle is ungeneric and inventive, with a well-used 16px grid. The only possible complaint would be the slightly awkward water physics, but they don't ruin the experience.
The bosses and avoidances are visually appealing with neat patterns, fun stuff.
The game has a steady difficulty curve, going from easy (but not boring) to challenging (in the pleasant way).
The stages have very neat graphics with a distinct feel to every segment. The "storyline" makes no sense, but is hilarious, and it's not aiming to be story-driven but rather gameplay-focused.
Overall, a fantastic game for a fun experience!

wonderful
The needle stays interesting and feels fresh most of the way through the game due to the use of mini-spikes and using more than just the 32, and even more than just the 16px grid at times. You will see some jumps you've never seen before.
The saves flow very well for the most part. The visuals are usually great, and the music is fantastic throughout - all the tracks set a great mood.
My biggest complaints are:
The backgrounds on some stages are very dark, and make the player's footing hard to see, which isn't good for a needle game.
There were a number saves that had an annoying/meat-grinding first jump, which made the rest of the save less enjoyable.
While I enjoyed most of the gimmicks, the use of water here wasn't very good.
Overall: Excellent game. The level design is great throughout. bmxbandit brings variety by making sure the stages don't drag on too long, and he really knows how to set the tone with his visuals and music.
I also very much appreciate the fact that you can skip bosses, since I'm not a boss player. This is something I really love and wish showed up more often.
