I've made this game open-source: https://mega.nz/file/OMQQkLTA#bU8477DAAVm2ye_QGXnQQRBI4mR5KXPkjE35Ih--69A

Update 1.01: added gmsched and fixed an easy skip in Z.

This is the game made for FM2020's Blind Needle Race. We all put in an exceptional amount of work to make this game as good as possible, so we hope you all enjoy!

A link to a YouTube playlist with the game's music is included in the ReadMe.

Quite insane game, it starts as jtool needle and gradually turn very gimmicky. The concept of the game is that rooms aren't marked with a number like all the x-floors game but by a letter. Most of the work was made by chatran, egg, pat and skull, the others have only one screen in the game but all the rooms are wonderful even if a few have some hard spots, I really loved what the game has to offer. It's also visually super polished, I can only recommend it to everyone who's good enough to play it.

Definitely the best collab i've played yet.
There are many twists on existing gimmicks and some new ones and they're executed great. The only real criticism i have is that the final room just felt like any other and i didn't like the gimmick.
The game is on the more difficult side, but i recommend playing it for sure.

A fantastically presented needle game with a wide variety of styles and gimmicks, down to the diverse and talented makers that took part in providing screens and stages for it. Alphazetica gives the player a lot to work with, be it stark changes in needle style or unusual and quirky gimmicks, never overstaying their welcome or getting too stale.

The final stage particularly stood out to me, as it felt almost like a museum of different gimmicks that you only experience for a single screen before they're whooshed away. It left me wanting more after I finished each screen, and it was fun thinking about the creative possibilities that you could achieve with these gimmicks that really only play a small role in the game. Any of these could be taken away and form full expansive stages in other games, and it's something I'd love to see happen! It's a great source of creative inspiration, and is a very good indicator of how much even just a simple gimmick can really widen the possibilities you have as a maker, and as a player.

This sets a very high standard for future blind needle race games, and continues to shine a light on the evergrowing possibilities and creative freedom that needle games have been exploring into lately. Big recommend.
