Very competent 32px Chinese needle game with Touhou music. If this sort of game isn't your cup of tea, it probably won't change your mind, but I found it really fun, with a lot of interesting jumps and neat pathing through screens.
The only real problem I had with the game overall is that the difficulty level fluctuates wildly at times. One of the needle trials screens is *way* harder than anything else in the game (and requires a very specific setup that newer players might not be able to discern), and some of the longer saves felt like they would shoot up and down in difficulty too. Since the game is mostly a smooth experience otherwise, these instances of imbalanced difficulty do stick out.
Also, the last stage has some kind of dumb stuff involving screen transitions. I don't really mind it myself, but you will definitely die once or twice simply due to not knowing what's up ahead. There's also an extremely controller-unfriendly vine jump in this stage, but I don't use a controller so whatever!!!!

The screen transitions on the last stage bring down what is otherwise an excellent 32-pixel needle game.

Really chill 32 pixel needle. Always appreciate games where the path isn't obvious. Had a couple spots where I had to do movements through screen transitions which I appreciate less.

As unbalanced as it is interesting.(Especially 2nd stage)
and I really couldn't enjoy the last needle.
The last stage is one long screen, so player cannot expect next screen until see it.
player need to remember the next screen.
it interrupts player so much.
