The game takes a noticeable dive in quality on the last five floors, which have little to none of the creative gimmick use that the rest of the game does so well (the graphics and music were also the least interesting picks). Floor 50 in particular was a really bad way to wrap the game up, being one long save full of mostly uninteresting corridor needle, however the other 45 floors were some of the most fun I've ever had playing a needle game.

Rating based on version 1.1.
Nice floor game that starts out moderately challenging and gets really tough near the end. Changes visuals and musics every 5 floors, never failing to look or sound great. Plenty of interesting jumps (And some generic jumps mixed in, but none of which feels overused at all), somewhat solid difficulty curve, varied screen layouts (Including floors consisting of a single long save, floors with multiple saves consisting of a single challenging jump each, and floors that are somewhere in-between those categories). It also makes a really nice use of vines, water, platform jumps and jump refreshers, showcasing uses for those gimmicks I'd never seen before.
All in all, it's a really hard to dislike game. It's pretty challenging, but I highly recommend it if you are willing to grind some difficult needle.

The saves were fair, the music was good and it had alot of
interesting jumps. My only complaint is the excessive
amount of diagonals, but other than that it is a solid game.

A fun romp if you don't get worn out by 50 floors of 32px needle and platform/jump refresh/vine shenanigans. It feels repetitive in places and a few of the saves later are oddly easy, but overall it's a satisfying experience to clear. I suppose it's most comparable to Wolfi's Witch games, though I personally found it quite a bit harder.
I don't know if I'm just bad at the longer saves this game loves to throw at you, but I thought the later floors (35-50) of this game became extremely difficult, far moreso than the ratings on here would suggest. If you're expecting something on the same level as games like the Witch series or Meltdown based on the difficulty ratings here, you may be in for a rude awakening - I sure was.

Really solid needle game with the traditional floor style. The visuals and production is all very solid, with a lot of interesting aesthetics and little visual touches that take it a level above the majority of the needle games.
Platforming is mostly good, with nearly every save having atleast a really cool jump incorporating the standard engine gimmicks. I wish he'd kept off the 32px grid more often though, as even on it he'd have some great jumps but to fill in the space you'd see the same generic setups over and over. Definitely got sick of the in-and-out diagonal jump by the end of the game, for instance.
Definitely a recommendation for some tough but not brutal needle.
