A really interesting twist on needle. The entire premise revolves around figuring out how to use different type of gimmick vines to reach the exit of each room. In this regard, there is a bit of a puzzle element to the needle. There's a few stages that get progressively harder. Visuals are great, there's a few segments that I thought were difficulty spikes for me, may not be the case for others. This is the type of creative design we need to see more of in fangames.

Jungle Adventure kicks off with a bang using Toto's Africa as the stage music, setting a high standard for the rest of the game as the vocals of David Paich carry the player forth on their needle adventure. Thankfully, the game does a really good job of keeping that high standard with Piece's creative design.
Vines are one of my favourite standard needle gimmicks because there's a whole lot of cool stuff you can do with them. This takes things one step further though with a whole variety of different vine-related gimmicks, such as vines that flip your gravity, vines that speed your horizontal speed up until you touch the floor, and even ol' slip and slide. Some of the saves had me scratching my head a bit figuring out what to do, making the payoff all that more rewarding.
A couple of the saves got a little frustrating at times which was primarily those involving gravity flipping vines, but this leans more towards my usual discomfort with gravity flipping. I also experienced a weird bug where I could walk on air and float off temporarily back to the Kid's home planet, which I'm glad Piece chose not to fix because well, it's a good bug.
Play this if you want some vine needle that breaks the mould and tries some cool new things. Would recommend!

I'm usually not a big fan of vines but god this game. Beautiful, Very creative and pleasant to play, and excepting a few very precise jumps, I enjoyed everything. I would have loved to see a boss where every type of vines is used but that's really asking for more where you already have everything.
Would highly recommend.

Explores a set of vine gimmicks very well, has great music, and great visuals. Hardest screens are around the start of stage 3/5 for some reason.

Really well made and a lot of fun. There's a lot of different types of vines which makes this unique and challenging. Not for beginners though. Vine-adept people should check it out.

Pretty fun game based on gimmicky vines. Eases you into it by only introducing one or two new kinds each stage, making stuff more complex and puzzley as it goes. Unfortunately, the last two stages had a bunch of stuff that I found annoying, and lowered my enjoyment overall. Still, vines are great and so is this game. Give it a go for sure.

I find vines annoying. However, this game was so well designed that it was fun anyway.
Creative application and expansion of the basic concept with constant changeups in the platforming style made it an excellent gameplay experience combined with great production and polished executio. The overall package makes this worth playing for anyone looking to improve at or enjoy vine needle.
