One of the things I enjoy about dotkid needle is how you're able to pull off all sorts of scary looking jumps and feel like you're better at needle than you actually are, and I think I could say that about the whole game and most of Nader's needle: scary and a bit claustrophobic at first sight, but smooth and satisfying to clear. Okay, maybe some of the gravity saves are a bit cramped, and there's a couple saves here and there with an annoying first jump (not that I'm free of sin...) My favorite stage is definitely the shoot refresher stage, I love shoot gimmicks, but all stages were uniformly good.
I can't say much on whether the CN3 floor 31 homage hits the right notes, since I haven't played CN3 myself, but in hindsight that might be a good thing, since I went into it with no preconceptions and enjoyed it. As the saying goes, comparison is the death of joy!
Overall a terrific gimmick needle game, highly recommended for any needle/gimmick enjoyers - don't be scared by the difficulty rating!

Builds up to become one of the smoothest needle games I have ever played; the gimmicks introduced are very nice variants of previously seen gimmicks, and nader used them to create new and cool setups.

After completing the first two neon games back to back, I didn't expect much from this one, but man was I surprised. I should clarify: I didn't play those games back in 2014, maybe that could've affected how I see I wanna be the Neon and Neon 2 today: If they were good at the time, then they both aged like milk.
I wanna be the Neon 3 offers something fresh despite following the same formula established by previous games. It feels way more polished seeing a better usage of gimmicks that have been seen before, fantastic music choices and overall, much more fun to play. So fun I didn't care about the difficulty at all. There are some awkward saves occasionally but that's only a small portion of everything the game has to offer.
I highly recommend this fangame to those who are looking for a challenge as well as those who are looking to strengthen their skill. Don't feel intimidated by the difficulty rating I'm giving as it's more oriented towards the length of the game.
