A pretty tricky 3x3 room needle game with wrapping paths and interesting manoeuvres, reminiscent of the QoQoQo style. The game comes complete with a map in the game directory which is nice when finding the way forward gets a bit confusing.

AsTatine's visual style is pretty simple which makes for a non-intrusive platforming experience. Nothing gets visually noisy or distracting which is nice, and the music create a pretty chill atmosphere which is always appreciate in this kind of needle game.

A couple of segments stung a bit in difficulty. There are quite a few saves that feel weirdly short, usually accompanied with a very long drop, only to be followed by a hefty gauntlet with a ton of pretty tricky jumps which made for quite a bumpy playthrough. Three seperate saves in particular probably cost me the majority of my time, so perhaps some overall nerfs would've made it a bit smoother.

All around though a pretty solid needle game. Worth playing if you're into the whole looping paths kinda needle style and don't mind a bit of difficulty alongside it.

One very large screen, comes with an image file that shows the route.

While the pathing is intricate, the gameplay suffers from it. Lots of blind screen transition jumps, uncomfortable maneuvers and questionable save balance.

decently well-made and a fitting sequel to PromethiuM. unfortunately, it capitalizes on PromethiuM's issues a bit too much - there's difficult offscreen jumps and various choke jumps which are more egregious than in PromethiuM due to the notably higher difficulty. save balance is slightly all over the place - some saves took 10-20 minutes while others I first-tried without thinking much of them. I like the visual style, music, sprites and overall idea of the game. to me, it's quite memorable and worth playing even if it isn't really your thing

PromethiuM-likes should be more of a thing, as I think various other makers could pull off the idea of a 3x3 room needle game with interesting pathing quite well

rating based on a studio port. really enjoyable maze. there's a few bruh jumps and saves, and some places you'd want to look at the route, but it didn't kill the fun at all.
