A game aimed at beginners. Not exceptionally good at any particular thing, although it does succeed at being beginner friendly. Needle is easy but there are some tricky coins you can collect, presumably to unlock another boss at the end of the game. Each stage has a theme, which can sometimes be fun, although I believe the creator should reconsider the intensity of the gimmicks he used.
I stopped at the puzzle in the final screenshot provided, because I came to play a fangame, not a sliding block puzzle, but someone else might enjoy that. The physics can be a little janky at times, presumably because of an old engine. Things like getting stuck in walls can happen.
Not sure I would recommend to anyone.
+The game succeeds in what it set out to do: be beginner friendly.
-Repeating music.
-Extreme and seemingly random use of a particular gimmick: super zoom in??
-Traps are lame and unoriginal.
-Music is sometimes not too great.
-Bosses feel like a hassle.
-Most levels are an eyesore.

I completed the game in Basic mode up to the acquisition of the hidden items, but the review is based on Beginner mode only.
The game consists of featureless platforms and a few slightly interesting gimmicks.
Overall, I think the game is correctly oriented toward “Beginner” in terms of difficulty, but I was a little concerned about the difficulty inflation in the later stages.
There is little difficulty as a Needle game, and many moving objects such as cherries and lifts are placed.
Hidden items are extremely difficult and not at all beginner-friendly.
If you just want to clear the Beginner mode, I should be able to recommend this game for beginners, but there is no need to get the hidden items at all.
