Yet another excellent game from Habluka. The more I play their games, the more I realize just how good of a maker they are. Each save feels great to pull off and nothing felt too grindy to me. The difficulty was also very well balanced throughout with no one jump standing out as much harder than another. The creativity of the needle relies on utilizing named jumps in really interesting ways, the most commonly used named jumps being diagonals, corners, and planes. Every single implementation of these jumps, however, felt novel and great to actually pull off. The music is excellent and the visuals pretty good, and though there was nothing alone that blew me away (aside from the screen transition save, that was incredible), the sum total of the game does knock me off my feet.
Though this was a tough game, it also felt fairly accessible. Nothing looked frightening to me as someone who, though with some experience, mostly hasn't tackled these sorts of games. Everything felt manageable and I found myself excited for the next save to see what else was in store for me. If you enjoy precise needle to any degree, then you've got to try this one out; if you don't like precise needle, maybe try this one out anyways, though.
The final jump was probably the one I struggled the most with, but it was a really cool jump so I didn't mind.
