Current version: V1.2.09.07
This game is a rather long Adventure (or perhaps more accurately Needleventure) game using a variety of mostly standard gimmicks, with a couple of weird ones thrown in there. There is a story/narrative to the game, but you can opt to play without it if you so choose.
There are optional secrets, and obtaining them all unlocks some Extra content.

This project was a long time in the making, and I'm grateful to anyone that helped out or encouraged me along the way.

UPDATE: October 23rd: Made what I hope to be the final patch of the game - mostly minor fixes but also added some persistence to the Chapter 5a gimmick which should reduce some annoyance there.

UPDATE: September 27th: Some further changes made, mostly focused around the final boss.

UPDATE: September 20th: New update released with various balance changes. Details in included text file. Also fixed crashes introduced by patch

UPDATE: September 15th: Small update to fix some softlocks and an accidentally impossible route in 1 place. Larger balance fixes and overall adjustment coming later on.

...

UPDATE: September 7th 2024: Recent delfruit downtime made a long-standing bug clear where if this site goes down the game is unplayable, oops. That bug fix was the only intentional change in this release. It's honestly humbling that people are still playing this game to this day. Thank you!

A long adventure game with stages centred around needle-based platforming. Each stage typically focuses on one gimmick, including vines, traps, and puzzles involving light rays and mirrors to name a few. Each stage concludes with a boss which include both traditional boss fights as well as avoidances.

The platforming feels great, each section seems like it was designed very carefully and it's usually very clear what you have to do and how you do it. The difficulty is of each section is reasonable and aside from a few obstacles that I feel didn't add much, it never felt like a section was made overly difficult for the sake of inflating the death count. While I the bosses didn't feel spectacular, each one was enjoyable in their own right, and while I don't typically like avoidances, the ones in this game were much more tolerable than most I've encountered. Overall, this game has a lot of variety that I think most fangamers will enjoy, aside from being a tad too difficult for new players.

I didn't finish the game yet. But what I played of it so far (up to the colour switch avoidance) was amazing and I would recommend it to anyone, a lot of love and care has been put into this game and it shines throughout.
