It took me a really long time to complete this game, even though I started playing it fairly early into my fangame experience. It never seemed overly intimidating, just that it was simply too difficult for me to get through at my current skill level. Somehow I managed to persevere through the first screen, after which the game got a fair bit easier, though it still took me a few breaks to clear. This is very classic 'depression needle' with a dash of flavour and subtlety throughout. The soundtrack especially deserves a huge amount of credit for enhancing the experience. While the first few screens are relatively straightforward 32px needle (with heavy water usage towards the end), the second and third stages add a lot in terms of minor variations on simple needle formulas and concepts. Namely, dealing with the slanted ground and obstacles wasn't exactly my favorite part of the game (in fact, it was probably my least favorite part), but I can appreciate its inclusion for variety's sake, and the triangle levels in which it was contained were overall still quite fun, especially with their usage of platforms throughout. The third stage, a beautiful monochrome maze of invisible water, was one of my favorite parts, though it was over before I really got a chance to enjoy it. The ending was quite memorable.
Overall I would recommend this game to experienced needle players looking for a strong challenge upfront that promises more variety once you surmount the initial summit it sets out for you. The first screen is by far and away the hardest screen in the entire game, and if you can manage to get past it, you'll be able to tell if the rest of the game tickles your fancy. I personally enjoyed all the screens, but I can understand why a game this nondescript might not be for everyone. To me, it is another sad and beautiful love letter to the specific subsection of the fangame genre I cherish the most. It feels very personal and moving despite not really asserting anything about itself beyond a somber, bittersweet tileset reminiscent of Catharsis, and music that reminds me of reading poetry alone in my room and crying. I am glad I played it, and thank you very much to the creator for making it.
