100 floors of non-1f precision needle? Sure, why not. I like idea of this game very strong, and there was a lot of interesting jumps through. Balance is all over the place, but it didn't ruined experience. Probably best precision needle i've ever played

A precision needle game which goes on for 100 floors, the premise is a little questionable inherently because precision needle games are often good because of their interesting ideas or concepts which are both cool visually and fun to execute. Making a good precision needle screen is pretty difficult because you need to have enough ideas for one to make it good. This game having 100 screens is pretty bold, and unfortunately it's immense hubris does nothing positive for the experience. In this 100 floor precision game, you will see enough interesting jumps to make maybe one decent screen of precision needle. 99% of this game is a huge nothing burger, jumps which aren't interesting conceptually or to pull off, it just a very long game of going through the motions. The game also just doesn't feel very well thought out, the difficulty balance is literally non-existent and the align markers make no sense, you get an align indicator for basically every corner in the game, but you don't get align indicators for jumps where the correct align is ambiguous or not even on the save, which on two occasions led to me wasting my time attempting a "hard jump" which is free with the right align. There's also an align indicator for a Super F which isn't even align dependent, it's very jarring. The game is just so mindless and uninteresting, there's not nearly enough interesting stuff to justify this game being as long as it is. There's obviously a reason people like it, but in my opinion this game very blatantly misses the mark in so many key areas.

Fun precision needle game with 100 floors
Most of the game is pretty chill and even the harder saves aren't too bad

Very cool 100F game entirely focused around short saves and relatively precise jump sequences. Most harder needle games end up testing the player's willingness to grind, but Kantoku stands out for testing one's pure needle ability and basically nothing else. There's no pathing to learn, nor are there any long saves complicated by one or two jumps that you need to grind out muscle memory for. It's also not as technically demanding as L games or Hades-likes, while still remaining challenging and generally avoiding generic needle configurations.

I can understand why someone would dislike or be underwhelmed by this game, because it does get somewhat repetitive after 100 floors of similar design, but I had a lot of fun with it and found it quite satisfying in the context of just challenging myself with different jumps again and again.

The balance is abysmal but the concept is fun enough.

I deeply appreciate the quantity of content and the idea of putting precision needle screens into 100-floor game, though part of the game is lacking quality.

easy precision 100f game. difficulty balance is a flat line, pretty much half of the entire game is made up of first-try-able saves if you know what you are doing, but theres a couple meat grinder saves.

Interesting 100f where the concept is that you basically have a save every jump, so the game is really focused on semi precision needle rather than grinding long things. Most of the game is enjoyable even if there are multiple instances of saves being just named jumps. What could be a problem for some people is the very volatile difficulty, some saves are just free while some others are really precise especially near the end.
It was surprisingly relaxing because any annoying save doesn't last for long, it's kinda a unique experience, would recommend even if it can be a bit repetitive.
