A harder needle game where your objective is to lap around.
Have fun, maybe.

Probably the most fun, creative and challenging needle I've played. The gameplay flows very well and the jumps are interesting and satisfying to perform which is impressive considering it's all on a 32px grid. Unlike most FTFA-likes the saves are relatively short, usually 5-7 jumps each, which makes it not tedious to grind while still being very difficult, since almost all of the jumps are extremely precise. If you want to challenge yourself and test your consistency I would highly recommend this game.

The only drawback I've experienced in this game is that it can make your hands hurt pretty easily because it has a lot of fulljumps and some of the more annoying jumps require you to do 2 fulljumps in quick succession, such as raised diamonds and the raised leehe jump on one of the saves.

extremely fun and well-designed FTFA-like that spawned its own subgenre of needle games. it’s safe to say it’s one of the most influential, if not the most influential FTFA-like ever made. having a darker theme and sleeker, objectively nicer looking visuals than FTFA, it excels in many ways over the original. similarly, it’s also considered much harder than FTFA, having jumps that are more precise and require more technical knowledge. this only extends to certain align grabs which happen to be more intricate than FTFA’s. you can extend this idea of ‘additional intricacy’ to some valign tricks and more complex setups.

about the jumps themselves, there are often forced high framecount jumps (i.e. forced 20f 18f from the right pixel) which are quite difficult. saves which require several of these are considered the hardest. the ones that come to mind are save 8 and 17. they’re the least fun parts of the game since most of the time you can’t really intuitvely tell what you did wrong. the jumps can feel a bit RNG-based, where you either get them or you don’t. this is merely a skill issue and I feel if I had more needle skill this wouldn’t be an issue. there aren’t any 1fs or cancels unless you want to use them to make very specific sections easier. a very useful cancel in particular is used in save 14 after the ledge to give you a larger frame window (about 2 frames) to doublejump through the diagonal. other than that, cancels and other similar needle tech aren’t useful here

every jump is crafted in a surprisingly unique way, where no two jumps play quite the same. considering the game’s notable length (18 saves), this is very impressive. it has its own style without sticking to a formula which is an important distinction to make. it’s stylistic, not formulaic. this detail is beautiful and I truly noticed how well-made this game was when I first noticed it. the theming of this game is also very nice and sleek: no crazy visuals, black blocks, white spikes; and something not often seen up until this game’s release - the inclusion of white shoes to help with setups. these truly do you a lot of good, you’ll really notice when you’re playing another FTFA-like and they’re gone

overall a fantastic game, but unfortunately the last two saves are balanced pretty horribly and are really unfun. it leaves a bit of a sour taste at the end. the game isn’t poorly balanced at all up until the very end. perhaps poorly is a strong word, I just have strong negative feelings about the last two saves

highly recommended!!

This needle has probably best flow, you can imagine for hard 32px-oriented needle. Jumps are satisfying to do, formations are interesting and always catch your sight in the sense of "wtf, this looks so native, but also so complicated, and how da fuck i never saw that before"; almost all saves balanced in a way you can build up great consistency and had very fun times while doing that. Some saves require very mindfucking maneuveres, which made game shine even more in my eyes. I'm not big fan of saves 11 and 14 tho, that are shorter than rest of the saves and almost falls in too much of precision pit, but they were still okay. Other than that, it's really a perfection. Probably perfect needle grind to anyone who wanna sharp their skills in straight needle. It's definitely not a journey for everyone, but the ones who can appreciate this, will not leave unsatisfied

Very fun 32px needle game, the main appeal of the game is just how satisfying the jumps are to execute, most of them can become very consistent with enough effort which makes you feel real progression even if you haven't beaten the save yet. My main complaint is there are a few jumps which are sort of annoying, and some saves have absolutely ridiculous jumps near the end which can be a little annoying to deal with, but for the most part this is a REALLY solid simple needle game, one of my favorites for sure and a great evolution of a game like FTFA.
