Butterscotch Dandy is a needle game heavily inspired by the Uhuhu Spike series, and similarly-styled needle games. I challenged myself to create a different type of needle than usual in that style, and attempted to keep a steady difficulty throughout, although I feel I spiked it in a few saves with some overly precise jumps. In retrospect I would've also liked to have done more with the trigger switches, as well as unsure if the game should've been cut down by a few screens, but ultimately I was happy with the finished result. Have a dandy time!

A fun needle game with some really pretty visualz!!
There were a few saves that are preventing from rating this a little higher… But other than that, the game was fun!! and i would recommend.

An homage to the Uhuhu games in terms of its 'pulses with the music' neon aesthetic, bouncy anime medley music, and unorthodox spike shapes. This one falls short of the mark for me compared to Peppermint Dandy specifically due to the (in my mind) glaring overusage of 16 pixel landings and jumps. It seems like at a certain point almost every other jump, or sometimes many in a row, involve 16px maneuvering, and while I find that can be enjoyable in small doses, it felt really exhausting over the course of a whole game with quite a few screens. In addition, the anime medley didn't do it for me—it sticks to the same instrument voice for every melody for almost the entire duration, and the snippets are so short that even the one or two songs I recognized were gone before I had a chance to enjoy them. A lot of the 'unorthodox' jumps boil down either to modified gates or 16px. And the drops in general are hard, but quite rewarding most of the time. There's almost always a way to shorten them in some fashion.
A fun-ish vanilla needle overall, but I'd recommend the originals or Galvanized Peppermint Dandy before this one.
