There are two versions: the original 2020 version (where the dl link goes to), and a 2.0 version with vastly more technical jumps due to enhanced know-how from my part.
About original version:
I realized I could take two letters out of Lap Around and still have a sensible name, so I made it.
Basically Lap Around turned into the best genre, short save precision.
Not very impressive technically, as my knowledge was subpar.
About 2.0:
Changed 80% of the game so it's up to my current needle knowledge standards.

This version also includes the original as a difficulty option.
The versions are basically different games, but I can't be bothered to care about DF pages whatsoever.

This review is based on a clear of the 2.0 version of the game.
Very impressive and fun game which I would recommend to anyone who wants to get better with cactusing, since that's the primary skill you'll need to beat the game. There's a lot of super interesting and fun jumps and for a game of this length, a lot of variety considering it's all working with a 32 pixel grid. It makes for a fascinating game that's also incredibly enjoyable. The difficulty is kinda all over the place, a lot of the hardest saves are thrown in a sea of relatively easy ones, and sometimes there's multiple hard saves in a row. There was one save I found to be way, way harder than any of the others, but I don't know if other people would have the same issues with it. Still the game is a lot of fun and I think it's one of the most impressive needle games I've ever seen.

Buffed lap around, requires plenty of needle tech. Save balance is weird and a lot of saves are free while others are really hard. (update: the new version is harder and theres very little free saves, the needle is also more interesting)
