Vandal is a needle/gimmick game with some small adventure elements. I wanted to make something a little bigger than my previous solo projects, inspired by a few other releases and makers. I estimated it to be somewhere between 60-70 difficulty but on average I think it has ended up a little higher than planned.

I poured a lot of time into this over the last couple months and ended up with a platforming experience I'm pretty happy with, and I'd love to see other people enjoy it as well. Best of luck on becoming The Vandal!

Wolfiexe's magnum opus.
Easily one of the best needle games out there, 9.3 average rating with 100+ reviews is there for a reason. Wolfi's needle style is famous for being fun yet challenging, and this game is the best example of that. It contains all sorts of different gimmicks that feel so good to be executed in a row. The amount of effort and passion that was put in this game is insane, it is polished so well that you can almost taste the production value. Wolfi, thank you for one of the best needle experiences that I and many other players have ever experienced.

A very well polished game overall, great platforming coupled with solid aesthetics and good music picks (except maybe a couple ones that are too ayaya loud for my taste). There's plenty of longer reviews that explain in detail why Vandal is a classic, so I'll highlight just one thing - how the overarching connection between the rooms and the sprinkled touches of humor, diversions and changes of pace make the game feel as greater than the sum of its parts, more than a linear sequence of gimmick needle stages.

100% recommended for any veteran fangamer than can withstand the challenge, and even for those who might look at the 70 difficulty like a bit out of their reach - the difficulty curve starts lower and increases smoothly, and it's a great game to slowly progress through and push your limits.

Pretty good needle game with some very cool gimmicks and a great story. First half is just fine but kinda boring. But after the first break, it becomes an amazing game with some great platforming that shines through in the end to make one amazing experience. I liked the game overall and I highly recommend you play this.

A game with very good needle design. The NPCs and the big map added more fun to the game. However, many timing spots are hard to pass when met for the first time and that can be a bit annoying. All in all, it's a great needle game. Strongly recommended.
