A masterpiece. The needle in this game is so smooth, and has been a huge inspiration for my needle style

Come to think of it, this game has made me who I am
I just felt things with the overall mood of the game, tilesets and all that. This game is pure excellence. This game is the reason why I chose to do the things that I did, and I don't think that even though some saves made me mald, it was still an enlightening experience. Truly the 10/10 game that I needed.
Cry is a game that mixes slight precision with long saves and flow, creating the most unique standard needle experience that you will ever see. It's just so perfect, every single save is crafted meticulously with moving any single spike ruining it. I don't think a single game will be better than this to me.
Here is a quick overview of the stages and how i felt about them.
Stage 1 - downwards tower, with typical jtool objects that are used. It's mostly a skillcheck, and just something to show you how good the game is going to get. It's already really fun.
Stage 2 - I guess you can call this hell? but its not hell, but its a fun stage. Trigger needle, but every trigger forces a cool movement onto you, and it flows incredibly nicely if you "speedrun" it.
Stage 3 - The gimmick stage that apparently ruined it all? nah. not buying that, this stage was so much fun, not as good as stage 2, but better than stage 1 imo. The momentum water and align refreshers can create some interesting movements that you can force upon the player, and it's fun learning it.
Stage 4 - The BEST needle I have EVER played. There is no exception. It flowed incredibly, each movement was intricate and calculated. Despite malding on the first save, I had an extreme amount of fun here. This is Cheyri at his best.
Stage 5 - An upwards tower, i guess to contrast with the downwards tower. Each save here is lengthy, and feels like regular needle, and just feels like the climax of the whole game. The game shows its true difficulty here, with many of the saves taking me 50 minutes or more, compared to the 20 to 30 average in other stages.
In my personal opinion, the best stages from best to not the best (theyre all really goooood) are 4,5,2,3,1
EDIT:
on my third replay, I was breezing through saves like nothing, but i couldn't help but see a shadow of myself, a person who was young, still learning, and wanting to find satisfaction in skill. I remembered the struggle that I went through to clear stage 1, stage 2, stage 4, and stage 5. Everything is coming back to me now. Thank you Chyeri. I love you.
I wish i could give this game an 11/10.

Exceptionally well designed needle game with a great emphasis on good flow. Visuals are pleasant and the atmosphere is built well. I would recommend this to anyone who enjoys intricate maneuvers in their platforming and long saves.

*it's ok*
Very hard needle game, had 5 stages.
my favourites are S4 and S5, they give a great sense of atmosphere.
The music of the game is almost perfect.

One of the greatest needle games I've ever played. Almost everything is delicately made, including aesthetic design. Although most saves are pretty long, you got more consistent after every attempt, so you won't find it unfair or unbalanced at all.
Would definitely recommend.

Great game but almost every single jump is a wallhug which gets boring after a while.
