Based on Normal mode. Starts off as a neat beginner game with platforming designed accordingly. Introduces basic player-adjusting gimmicks like NANG stage 8, jump refreshers, and triggers. Only issue is that the background for the black areas doesn't contrast well with the tileset. However, from the gray brick area on, the game's quality goes downhill. In the former, there's not only a ton of unnecessary traps, but one particular save Reveal Spoiler . This ended up souring the game for me, and the final area's bland needle didn't help with that. It's ok.

Note: this review is copy-pasted from a reply on the forum thread of this game, with some extra details and thoughts.
Pros:
- Overall great soundtrack
- Nice graphics (minus one area which I'll talk about later)
- Pretty well designed levels
- Decent save balance
Cons:
- Extremely annoying trolls
- Certain sounds (breaking blocks and fake blocks) are really loud
- Z saves that are commonly either a few blocks away from the first jump, or in the air (personal pet peeve, probably doesn't bother that many people)
As far as graphics go, there are only two complaints I really have to say. Reveal Spoiler
One thing I didn't particularly enjoy were the trolls. They seemed very out of place in this game, and just frustrated me more than anything. However, Reveal Spoiler . Towards the end especially, the trolls got extremely frustrating. One screen in particular were filled with triggers and fake blocks, it felt so out of place, and nothing but frustrate me.
The difficulty in the last two screens is insane compared to the difficulty before, but it's overall balanced fairly well. That said, the placement of a lot of the saves is pretty annoying. A lot of them are a either a few blocks away, or in the air for no reason. If they were just slightly adjusted, a lot of saves would be extremely less frustrating.
Beyond those few issues, the game is pretty good. Would recommend. Hopefully this review offers some help to players, and the developer.

Short fun needle game with good music and good visuals. Gets progressively harder, still about average difficulty.
