Fun short adventure game with some needle elements. I really like the expanding/contracting screen gimmick in the last stage, wouldn't mind seeing a full needle game based around that.

Also, any game that uses Rewrite music is good in my book.

Most of the gimmicks were really fun and unique, with some good examples being the rising water part and the final section with the screen expanding gimmick. However, the thorns gimmick was a bit annoying, with many of the routes to pass those stages feeling less creative and more awkward. It also could've been more clear what you were supposed to do with the items.

Overall, I would recommend this to anyone who's looking for a short but sweet gimmick needle.

It's always great to see a good beginner fangame, and this is no exception. Fun gimmicks, nice atmosphere, everything that makes a good fangame at a difficulty level anyone can enjoy. It's great to see and the perfect example of short and sweet.

a very standard adventure game with some basic gimmicks and simplistic design. the visuals are nice and sleek, giving the game a polished look. the pathing can be a bit confusing at times - I found myself accidentally replaying a particular stage due to a confusing screen transition. this isn't a problem of any sort really, I was just slightly confused. the game is very short and can be completed in one sitting

I wanna spread my wings by Koslyn is such a charming fangame from start to finish. There's so many elements within the design that remind me of other platforming games I love to play such as Celeste and Super Mario World; I mostly got reminded of these two from Stage 1-B as well as Stage 2. Everything about this fangame is so interesting to me ranging from the various locations that our Kid explores through to all the little gimmicks that we're challenged to used in the different stages no matter how little they may be. The gameplay in this fangame is also fantastic due to how fair it is while still remaining somewhat challenging for beginner players. It's still challenging than most other beginner fangames below it, but it's not hard enough to where it's going to cause you to rage or give up playing. If you're a beginner such as myself and looking for a bit of challenge, I absolutely need to recommend that you play I wanna spread my wings; get out there and help Kid soar the skies above, I'm sure they would appreciate it.

This was made for the first Shortventure contest back in 2017 and like a bunch of other games from that contest, this one is solid! I didn't particularly care for the right path and the hub needle, mainly because it doesn't really do a lot to separate itself from any needle of the time. The left path however is an enjoyable puzzle stage that's short but more than welcome as someone who loves puzzles.

After the beginning paths the game reveals that it has a deeper bag of tricks than it initially let on, and gets significantly more interesting.The final stage in particular stands out in my mind even 6 years after I first saw it, and I've yet to really see someone attempt the concept and succeed quite as well as this game. Would recommend for the last stage alone.

this felt like a fever dream, felt bad for the kid in the end. first few sections of the game were mediocre, while the cloud section was a bit upsetting. The last stage made up for it with cool little gimmicks. Overall I enjoyed it.

Phenomenal needleventure game with superb gimmicks and well styled graphics. Consists of a hub with 2 areas, then 2 more areas in a linear order. The left area is a forest stage with a really unique gimmick in which you much step on every grass block, however this makes thorns grow on top of it. This area was really clever, but a couple spots felt inordinately precise. The right area is an underground factory. This is the simplest area, just using moving spikes, however it's made interesting by an escape sequence in which the factory fills with water. The third area is in the sky, and uses a bouncy cloud gimmick. This is used really well, and there's some fun platforming here. Finally, the last area is a psychedelic rainbow dreamscape where the walls grow and shrink on you. This area looks incredible, and uses a really fun and creative gimmick to create really cool screens. Ultimately, I consider this game a must play, and one of the best beginner fangames I've played.
