This game can be separated into 2 parts: The platforming and the secret hunting.
The former is really fun, each stage has a nice variety of gimmicks which serve to complement one main gimmick and I thought they were utilized very ingeniously in general, creating some very interesting and unique movements. Each stage has a boss too, they are pretty easy and other than 1 not really noteworthy. There are many secrets sprinkled throughout the screens which are usually fairly easy to find but hidden enough to make it satisfying when you find them. They take the form of moleYos (which actually play a critical role in the lore of the game) and fangame trading cards, which are probably the most adorable collectibles I've ever seen in a fangame.
You get an ending after beating the main stages, and if you don't care about secret hunting you might as well quit here because you don't really get much more gameplay after it. The secrets basically consist of a set of cryptic images that hint you at different places in the stages where you can obtain the keys to the true ending. It feels kinda hopeless at first but it feels very satisfying as you slowly make progress into all the different puzzles. You can also warp between saves, making it not annoying to revisit the stages.
I definitely was not expecting spending more time secret hunting than actually playing fun gimmick needle when going into this game, but it sure happened and I really enjoyed it. Definitely recommend this game for gimmick needle enjoyers, and if you are up for a few extra hours of head scratching after that going for the true end will surely be worth your time.

One of the best puzzle games and with some of the coolest gimmicks I've seen. This was a pleasure to play. Do wish there was more to the bosses, as they lack some of the creativity that the needle has.

Absolutely insane gimmick needle game. Some of these gimmicks are actually really clever and cool, especially the 3rd dimension gimmick. I had a really fun time playing through this.

Rating and difficulty for 100% and partial 101%. There is nothing I can write that can get across how captivating this game is. From the execution of its ideas to the unravelling that IS the manor. This game has it all. I loved spending 9 hours on the big miku minesweeper, still haven't done the harder-er minesweeper but alas, its too hard.
