This is overall quite a good collab game, as far as these big needly collabs go like discord makers and the such, it's definitely one of the better ones I've played. The average stage is quite pleasant, although there are some exceptions. KingSlendy's stage is kinda grindy and annoying, and Huse's stage feels all over the place in a bad way, and was probably my least favorite. There's some pretty cool ones though, the magic tower stage is a standout of course and worth playing even if you don't wanna play the rest of the game, and I also had lots of fun with JRPG, Alejo, and PlayerDash stages.
I would be remiss to not mention Skuldafn area, I do like this stage, it's got some cool gameplay mostly prioritizing long jumps across the whole screen with no safe ground, but I have some issues with it's difficulty. On the smaller scale, the difficulty of this stage is sometimes detrimental to my enjoyment of it, some movements feel so precise and intricate that it takes away from how cool or fluid the jump is, but the bigger issue is this stage is so much harder than the rest of the game, which means if you actually clear this game, this stage will overpower a lot of the rest because it just takes a lot of time, for me it was over a third of my playtime but for others it's over half. I don't think it's the worst thing in the world since you can play stages in any order and they do save progress, but I think as a whole this game would be better if the difficulty was more balanced across the whole thing, which to be fair is very hard to do, it just sticks out here because it's really just the one stage causing these issues.
I would definitely say this game is worth playing, it's got enough fun stuff I would even say it's worth clearing if you enjoy Skuldafn's stage, and the level of creativity is pretty high, the stages all feel distinct which is pretty rare for a game like this. It's quite a cool experience, consider playing it :)

This game could have been 9.0 if Skuldafn area isn't there or at least is nerfed.

Only played through the Magic Tower stage made by ElAnpepion since it was the only thing in the collab that interested me. Even if you're not going to check out the needle stages, I definitely think this one is worth downloading to play alone. It's rather short but has a couple good enemies that I like, and the logic element is not much to worry about here since I never encountered a softlock at all. I will say the meme avoidance in it was particularly unenjoyable, the cat enemy was kind of boring and long, and I wish it didn't spam the metaknights at the end since they also weren't that fun of a fight. The final boss though is once again another great way to end a Magic Tower stage and will remind you of the NAMTG and LSS Jingle Jam finales.
I also ended up doing Playerdash's stage as well. It was a really enjoyable stage and the gimmick was especially interesting. It basically works by having certain ground tiles that you can only single jump off of, which was pretty neat in the way the pathing corresponded to it.
Would recommend for the Magic Tower stage, Playerdash's was also fun.

i cleared all areas in this game and it feels like a mixed bag. now i'm gonna give a rating and opinion for each area
Skuldafn: 10/10. best area in the game honestly also the only hard one lol. very fun cn3 like needle with amazing atmosphere and tileset. save 4 was a little bit annoying cus of vine gate on screen 1.
Kogami Takara: 5/10. generic needle.
Alejo: 9/10. very fun area and not too hard.
Kaden: 1/10. bad backtrack needle with stupid jumps.
ElAnpepion: 8/10. interesting namtg like area. bosses are a bit boring but in total it was fun tho.
Renko97: 10/10. cool needle with triggers.
JRPG66: 9/10. fun and also overrated in difficulty.
KingSlendy: 0/10. sadly i didn't like this area because most of the area is just spam "two buttons on the same frame" jumps and i have a big problem with these cus of hand freezing.
Huse: 0/10. gimmick needle.
