Chill Needle Two is another needle/gimmick/venture game I've made. It has a few different stages each with their own gimmicks (including but not limited to vvvkid) and the game even has bosses! Hope you enjoy ( •ᴗ•)ψ

Extremely fun gimmick needle game with consistently comfortable design and very friendly save placement. Normally I hate gimmicks that involve managing jumping and shooting at the same time, but everything was tuned just right here - none of the saves felt like they were needlessly long or overly precise, and it all just kind of clicked for me.

This designer really understands how to balance both gimmicks and basic needle platforming, making for a very smooth and accessible experience overall, but without feeling like anything is trivial or "dumbed down," for lack of a better term. He also seems to really enjoy using VVVVVV gimmicks, but I like VVVVVV gimmicks so that's fine by me...

The bosses are a bit superfluous if I have to criticize something. They round out the experience but as individual challenges they're just kinda there and could have been buffed a bit. Not a big issue but still.

Way better than the first one, honestly just pure fun. My personal areas would go like: left < right < top. Great bosses, although the last boss could be more difficult, especially the last attack. Definitely recommended, play it.

Most of the gimmicks are really common and can be found in a bunch of fangames, but where the game really shines is in their almost perfect execution all along the way. The stage structure is pretty simple: A hub, leading to three different stages introducing their main gimmick, with a boss at the end of each.

These stages feature some of the most interesting gimmick needle saves I've ever seen, reaching the same quality level as Save My Boy, by the same maker. My favorite stage, as almost everyone else, is the VVVVVV one, that's confined in a single-screen area, allowing for some incredible pathing. While the other stages are more linear, I still had a lot of fun going through them, and it's a shame the spike switch mechanic isn't that popular in fangames, since I'm particularly fond of it, so thank you so much for implementing it!

As for the bosses, they clearly aren't as innovative as the needle, but they offer some diversity to the gameplay, which can't be a bad thing. However, I truly found them way less challenging compared to the needle's overall difficulty, and even first tried some of them. This difficulty balance between needle and bosses is honestly the only relevant issue that came to mind, but it really isn't such a big deal compared to everything else the game has to offer.
Highly recommend it.

Probably my least favorite of the arzztt games post NAVG. It is unquestionably still good but you could tell arzztt was still trying to find his groove as a maker without using vkid as a crutch, and those rough spots are pretty noticable. Still recommended though.

Really fun, great use of gimmicks (especially the v6 kid) and well balanced saves overall. I only wish the bosses were a bit more challenging, but they do fit really well within their stages. Arzztt somehow manages to make everything flow so well you finish the game and look back and say, wait, did I just beat a 60 diff game?
