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.

One of the best needle games I have played. I was not a fan of needle with mixed vine/water/platform/+1jump gimmicks, but I really enjoyed it. Would recommend.

This is a 50 floor needle game that definitely has that Crimson Needle style vibe to it. While it's not as hard, it's still well above average difficulty. The level designs are jumps are pretty good all around for the majority of the game. The last few floors annoyed me a bit for various reasons, but I think most people would enjoy the game regardless.
Production wise, you get a new tileset and music every 5 floors to give a nice feeling of progression. The visuals are pretty good and most of the music choices were solid. There's enough content here to give any needle player a lot to chew on.
