The style is a continuation of Crimson Collab, but heavier and without the presence of screens with one save. Screens borrowed from other games often remind you of the jumping style of them, and really bring you back there. Most often you are given from 3 to 5 saves, if not I’m mistaken, only one screen in the initial stages goes without saving. There are a total of 5 stages in the game, 10 screens each, at the end of the stage a boss awaits you. To defeat the boss you are given something like HP, you don’t die on the first hit, your health bar is reduced, about 10 mistakes are allowed before you die. All bosses are quite easy, and as was said earlier, they are a pleasant addition and a break from the needle.
The first 2 stages are quite simple, starting from 3 the difficulty increases, and for me personally the peak of difficulty was on some screens 4 stages with very accurate jumps and the beginning of stage 5, which was the most difficult part of the game. From screen 45 the game seems to give you a rest and by the end becomes easier. The music in the game is pleasant, and learning precise jumps is not stressful. Good game

Fun needle game even if it started to become more annoying near the end. There are bosses from c2 every 10 rooms where you have hp so they are much easier (and drawn under ms paint).

Crimsoned 2 is a very solid 50-floor needle game, using the visuals/flow of Cultured 2 alongside Piece's creative needle style making for a pretty challenging but enjoyable experience.
Throughout the 50 floors, there's a very noticeable difficulty increase which feels mostly well done, with only a few sore spots in difficulty being noticeable. The needle stays mostly vanilla although there's the odd usage of vines, water and perhaps some other traditional gimmicks on rare occasions. A couple parts near the start of stage 5 feel a bit bumpy in comparison to the end of the stage, which seems to have been caused by nerfing some early-version hard spots. It never felt designed in an unpleasant or unfun sort of way, so I enjoyed it regardless.
Despite each screen making use of a background/tileset from Cultured 2, the actual needle doesn't appear to be influenced with perhaps the exception of a couple screens here and there. It would've been cool to see things like the SSR2 screen have Rukito-esque triggers or the Forehead screen have the jump-changers, although that would stray away from a needle game and moreso a custom-medley-of-sorts, but it's an interesting what-if.
Each stage is also capped off with the appropriate boss from Cultured 2, only with HP. They make for a nice break and the HP ensures you won't be stumped for too long. Oh, and the boss visuals (and all screen titlecards) are custom-drawn by Piece which is a pretty cool addition. I imagine a fair amount of time went into Crimsoned-ifying all the graphics and it just makes for a nice finishing touch.
Overall a solid needle game that definitely picks up the challenge towards the end. Would recommend.
