Great needle game. Needle style is fluid and precise, heavily using jtool gimmicks. The game starts up hard and keeps being consistently hard, peaking at the last save which is quite challenging. Recommended for experienced players.

I don't give it a 10 due to last jump of save 4, wish there were more games like this.

Extremely difficult needle game, the second hardest I've beaten, hardest being discord makers. I would say this was harder than any single area in that game, but also much more fun to grind.
There are many things I really like about this game. The visuals are really nice, music choice is fine, although I ended up listening to my own after 10 hours or so.
What I find most imortant is the level design though, which is absolutely outstanding, pretty much exactly what I would want from a needle game. There is only one jump I don't like (3rd screen first save vine), which is really amazing for such a hard game. It is mostly made up of long jump sequences with water, platform jumps and a few vines. The difficulty curve is good too, starts out very hard and keeps getting harder, with the exception of one easy(er) save. The last save is the hardest by a lot, and if you choke a lot like me, most of your time will be spent on it. Beating any save in this game feels really satisfying, especially the final one.
The biggest problem with the game is the extreme difficulty rendering it unplayable to most people.
Also I wish it had a more serious\better sounding title. At one point there is a pretty dumb align troll, but in the grand scheme of things, it doesn't really matter.
I would recommend this only to very confident needle players. It is one of my personal favorites, but definitely isn't for most people.
