It a needle game that sort of follows in the visual style of Minimal. The visuals look pretty good, and I like the fact that the final stage introduces a triple jump mechanic to spice things up. My only real issue is the save balance is a little wonky at times, really easy segments into hard ones, and back again at times. Still worth playing if you enjoy needle.

Absolutely adore this game, the gameplay is pristine and there are no unfun saves. The only reason why this isn't a 10 is because of wacky difficulty balancing. Near perfect needle, would heavily recommend.

The symmetry is nice, but that's about it. The platforming consists of mostly fluff, with a hard jump at the start and end of each save. The sequel to this is a million times better.

My first fangame over 50, going through FSR Needle silver and played this one when I was getting used to 35s. Incredibly difficult for me but has some really fun stuff. Very minimal in style and looks great as a result, little to no visual clutter. The fade on the sides of the screens looks really nice and complements the design quite a bit. The jumps feel original and don't take incredibly long to beat but some are more difficult than others. There were a few saves that were much easier than others, a couple giving me a ton of trouble while others were many less deaths. Highly recommend if you have a good amount of experience with fangames, can probably clear this relatively quickly.

Really fun needle game with three stages, each using monochrome sprites. There's a cool visual effect at the screen edges, but most of the aesthetic beauty comes from spike patterns. Something I love in fangames is that you can create beautiful looking screens with just spikes and the fill tool, and this game exemplifies that. The screens use pseudo-symmetry very well to create interesting paths through Rorschach test images. The platforming itself is really fun, with unique usage of jumps and fun movements taking advantage of the cool spike patterns. The game uses water and triple jump really well, and combined with the focus on spike patterns, makes this reminiscent of Phonotransmitter in a lot of ways. Phonotransmitter is one of my favorite needle games, so that's a huge compliment. Something about the combination of water and triple jump makes awesome segments, and I can only hope more games follow that path.
