Short needle game with longish saves centered around vine use. Surprisingly, there is none of the platform or water use so commonly seen with vine game design these days. While I appreciate the "pure" approach taken the vine experience, the design suffers from repeated use of some of the more annoying things you can do with vines. Vine jumping up into awkward 32px gaps, forcing the player to fall from a long distance on to a vine, surrounding a vine with spikes (especially putting spikes right under the vine), etc. Vines interact with the Kid's movement in a really funky manner, and using tricks like these to increase the precision requirements just doesn't work well. It doesn't create a fun or rewarding experience. Still, it's a decent enough game outside of these occasional annoying vine interactions, especially during some of the more kinetic multi-vine sequence.

Fairly fun vine needle. Has a few awkward jumps and sometimes harder jumps near the end of a save.

Save 2 of screen 2 wasn't really enjoyable but the rest was a solid short vine needle, especially the last screens.
