Heya, we updated the game. The purpose of this update was initially to make the game a little smoother to speedrun but none of the changes me and Zero have done alters the game in a way we think is detrimental to the experience for anyone, thus we decided this should be the official version and public for everyone.
I won't go over all the changes, noteworthy ones include: new character, slight boss changes, new sprites (in a few places), an option to turn off the respawn fade effect, skipable credits, less dishwashing, platforming improvements throughout (primarily in the second half) and bug fixes.

What an incredible challenge this game was. When I first saw videos of Crimson Needle 2, I thought it was way too difficult to beat for my skill level. But I decided to man up and try anyway.
As a player who hasn't played very many fangames, I didn't feel all that confident trying to complete a 90+ difficulty game. However, I knew the challenge would be fun, rewarding and worth it. I became surprised by how quickly I was beating some of the later floors in the game, like 50-70. I realized that I can beat the entire game as long as I stay determined, and thankfully I did. This is by far the most rewarding fangame experience I've had.
As for when the game gets truly difficult, I actually did not really have any long grinds (3 hours or longer) until floor 98 and above, and that's what really surprised me the most. I thought I would start struggling to even get to floor 30.
The final boss is incredibly fun and not really as difficult as you might think. It may seem a little unreasonable at first, but after you come up with a good strategy, it's really not that bad. It took me 10 hours, which is not that long for a hard fangame boss. I'd say it is about as challenging as Kamilia 2's final boss.
And of course, what makes this needle game better than most is how it does not rely on spamming corners and diagonals to be difficult. There are a ton of really interesting, unique, challenging and fun jumps. Also, the visuals and music make the already good gameplay experience even better.
Overall, Crimson Needle 2 is my favourite fangame (for now at least) that is definitely worth playing.

I played through most of this game again recently and wasn't really as impressed with it as I was the first time. While the pathing is consistently interesting, many individual jumps feel repetitive or uninspired, and there are some design elements that get reused to an obnoxious degree (diagonals and apple ledges, for example). It's a good game overall, but feels a lot less polished than it could be.

The completion of the game was only possible through divine correspondence. The maker closed his eyes, and in deep meditation saw a vision of four perfect screens in complete detail. In the background 'Islands (Instrumental Edit)' by King Crimson played. Thus floor 100 was conceived.

I never finished floor 100 but IMO this game is extremely overrated and the difficulty spike around ~85 is way too sudden. then after that there's too many "oh there could be 2 saves here but we'll just remove one" consistency saves that aren't fun at all. I did get blue kid skin tho
