Compared to some other games in this series, I think this one is relatively weak, lots of jumps I found uncomfortable or unnecessarily precise, especially in the final 10 floors. The bits before that weren't my favorite either. Nothing downright bad exists in this game but I just think it's weak in some places.

Unfortunately, I think this winds up being one of the weaker neon games. Of course, that's a high standard so it's still a decent game. The needle winds up using way too many uncomfortable maneuvers, such as several awful platform under block jumps. The dotkid is used worse than in other entries in the series, but was still a welcome break. I wish it was around for a more sizeable amount of the game. Overall, the needle is pretty good for the most part, but with a high number of bad jumps that drag down way too many saves.

It's fun and it has that neon charm but it shows its age in some spots for sure, not to mention it has a couple of pretty obvious skips. There's definitely some questionable shit towards the end Reveal Spoiler.

Come on now, if you've gone this far with fangames, you either know nader makes great games, or you don't like his games. This one doesn't necessarily rise above its brethren, but that is not a knock against it.

An almost satisfactory experience. Every review of a neon game by Thenader2 will almost always contain the same terms:
-Creative jumps
-Appealing visual design
-Excellent, pumped-up soundtrack (this is my favorite after I Wanna Be The Neon)
-DotKid sections
The latter point is a detriment to the rating, since I have never liked that gimmick, but at least there are 5 screens out of 50 in total containing it, and the screens weren't so bad, so nice move there.
I must highlight the difficulty. Even if there are only 50 screens, the curve is quite merciless. I didn't suffer as much as in Neonize the Needle (that little bastard gave me exactly 10,000 deaths during my first playthrough) and here I didn't even have the third part of that amount, but the game felt lengthy due to its difficulty. Particularly memorable for me were screens 45 and 49. 50 not so much. There is that infamous section where you must fall off a platform from the right and quickly sidetrack a pink pyramid through the left. The solution is simple: you just need to align yourself with the upper green wall and you're good to go, because timing will be less challenging.
Overall, it is in the Top 3 of his standalone games. Screens and jumps are memorable, and the song during screens 21 to 30 was my favorite! I will be listening to that quite often: best music choice since Alloud for I Wanna Be The Neon.
