This is a pretty lengthy and solid needle game. 100 floors and a difficulty curve that doesn't make it painful until you are near the end.
Once you get up to around 75, the game really starts to change in a lot of ways. The difficulty starts to ramp up much more at this point, and you also unfortunately start to see way too many corner jumps shoved into the segment in the last dozen floors. I found this to be somewhat disappointing because for the first 3/4 of the game, the level design and platforming were interesting and not too generic.
The visuals though most of the game are pretty decent, they change every 5 floors along with new music which keeps the flow going at a good pace. There's a handful of stages where the visuals are just horrid, not enough to be a major problem, but there some moments where its very jarring. A few stages with black backgrounds make it hard to see the kids feet, and I think the game would have benefited with the option to toggle the kid's sprite like in Crimson Needle so on these stages you contrast better with the visuals.
The save points are shoot saves, but you need to be standing right on them for it to work. In most cases it's fine, but in some its very annoying because the saves are placed not close enough to the jumps. Standard saves with bullet blockers would alleviate some of the frustration in a few places.
It's a pretty good game with a lot of content, mostly good designs, and production value. It's worth playing if you like needle, but the direction of the latter part of the game made me glad it ended and maybe not soon enough.

fantastic 100f with nice visuals, somewhat inspired by sunspike, that being a good thing or not. fairly easy until the last 20 floors.

Solid 100 floor game, as many other reviews point out the game does shift drastically towards the end which in some places works well and in others can feel a bit messy, but the majority of the game is pretty good and I would even say there's really nothing bad in the game, it just also doesn't have anything I was super amazed by. It is impressive to maintain consistent quality for over 100 rooms though, so I definitely respect this game for that.

Game kinda gets spicy in the second half in not the best way, but this was still very enjoyable to the end
