A modern take on the good old Rukito-like genre, with 5 stages and 2 bosses made by Razzor. Enjoy!

Very well designed, well executed hybridization of a more old-school style of a Rukito game with more modern style gimmick needle. Definitely leaning more towards the latter, it still retains hints of the former. This worked really well for me personally, as it incorporates the tinge of whimsy and adds bosses, both things I can definitely appreciate, while maintaining a much more fluid platforming style that reflects more of the present style.
The game's difficulty holds pretty steady, which means that you tend to know roughly what you're in for from the beginning with a focus on making the platforming more elaborate with more mechanics rather than more precise.
I'd definitely recommend this more towards those who prefer modern gimmick needle style than these looking for a Rukito like, but if you happen to be a major fan of both, it definitely has something for both.

Very good Rukito-inspired game--at this point "Rukito-likes" don't exist as the games have most certainly taken a life of their own. Top notch design from Skull here, with a lot of wacky ideas thrown into it to spice things up along the way. There were a couple of segments that made me a bit salty (and the traps felt a bit unrelenting), and the pathing at points is also kind of hard to figure out, but it's nothing too out there. Comes with 2 bosses made by Razzor, both of which are pretty good, though I personally found a couple attacks in the final boss to be incredibly hard to read and would almost warrant a visual challenge tag.

Amazing game, I already really love Rukito's style of needle so seeing a more modernized and personal spin on it is an absolute delight. It helps that the game is consistently very high quality and has no major bad spots or anything like that, it's just a consistently fun needle game, with some cute bosses to spice things up, bosses that are much better designed than what you'd find in a typical Rukito game. Absolutely great work here, I really really love this game, and it's just really fun and cool to see. Big recommendation.
