A 50 floor needle game using the visuals of the associated stages in Cultured 2. It also adapts and reimages the bosses with drawn visuals, though relative to their counterparts they're pretty easy as you have something like 10 hp for all them, so its really just about the needle. There's minimal gimmick usage, so its mostly pure needle the whole way through.
The design is pretty solid, especially in the earlier stages. It generally focuses on somewhat shorter saves, with pretty much every screen having atleast 3. Unfortunately, and this is probably the weak point of the game, later on this means that in order to keep the difficulty rising some of the later parts get kinda meh. There's a fair bit of repeated formations and a ton of annoyingly precise setup jumps. Still, there's a lot of good parts in the later stages, and the earlier parts flow very well.
Its a very good needle game that starts fairly reasonable (maybe 40ish) and ends up in the 75 range, so consider accordingly for your skill level. Its recommended if that feels like the difficulty range you're looking for though, as the majority of the needle is good and the bosses are a nice touch and pace change-up.

Really enjoyable Crimson-Inspired Needle Game featuring Screens from the famous C2. The Bosses in this Game were a brilliant throwback to the Original Cultured and over all it was just a pleasure to play!

Fun 50 floor needle game with visuals taken from the rooms of the first five stages in cultured 2. Starts off pretty easy but gets pretty challenging at the end. There were a few rough spots in the difficulty curve but overall it was alright. Each stage ends in a memeified version of the corresponding c2 boss. Aside from a few spots, I had a good time, would recommend.

Very long and challenging needle game suitable for experienced players. It consists of five stages of ten screens each, with each screen taking the tileset of a game featured in Cultured 2. Each stage ends with a (very easy) boss based on Cultured 2 as well. Generally I find bosses in needle games obnoxious, but they were reasonable enough here that they served as a nice change of pace from the platforming.
Overall I liked like this more than Crimson Collab, but I have to dock a few points for two reasons:
1) The final stage is *substantially* more difficult than the rest of the game and can become quite grueling if you're not prepared for it. I went into it with 4647 deaths and finished the game with 8882, so it nearly doubled my death count by itself. Makes it hard to evaluate the game as a whole when the difficulty is so concentrated in the last 1/5th like this.
2) It is rather easy to crash the game after beating a boss; if you're hit after your HP bar disappears, the game will crash, no questions asked. It's particularly easy to have this happen on the stage 4 boss, which is fairly long and rather annoying to have to fight again. This really should have been caught in testing.
I enjoyed this game overall, but I'm not sure how much I can recommend it due to the extreme difficulty spike in stage 5. Tread carefully.
