Has interesting jumps, but the save balance is definitely not great

Played on medium. Hard and above indeed add spikes, but the save placement is so awful you don't want to play them anyway.
Pretty mediocre needle game with weird save balance and no real sense of cohesion, wouldn't recommend.

Needle game that mixes interesting jumps with a few more generic ones. Nice visuals, nice music, no death sound. The issue with this game is that quite a few of its saves place their hardest jumps at their end, with quite a few filler jumps before you can get to them, which is never a good thing. If you can look past that, you could maybe enjoy it, but I see it as a clear sign of bad design, and due to the amount of saves that are designed like that, I personally wouldn't recommend it.

This review is based on the Hard difficulty, which adds additional spikes according to the readme.
This is a fairly short needle game, maybe 8-10 screens. There are quite a few unusual jumps, but these typically end up being more annoying than interesting - lots of irritating frame perfect inputs required. The final screen is especially tiresome. It's possible that the Medium difficulty is a much smoother playing experience (though it would probably be pretty easy if it removes the irksome jumps).
This game also has extremely poor save placement. None of the saves are close to the first jump that needs to be made, and many require traversing the entire screen, or even transitioning to another screen, before making any meaningful jumps. This of course makes the game even more annoying to play.
Ultimately this is a playable, but annoying needle game. I can't recommend it.
