A kinda huge collab that originally aimed to be back to basics 2 but ended being a bit different even if it's also a jtool collab.
Kinda want to say that the peak of difficulty is around 75 but people seem to agree it's more. Also there are easier stages and not all the game is that hard.
There are slight changes compared to the IWT version but nothing too huge.
Any feedback is welcomed, especially stage by stage as I know there are many people who want feedback on their own stage.
I personally encourage people to only play what they find fun as you will probably not like everything.

A pretty difficult needle game with a variety of stages made from different creators. None of it is particularly bad, but I found it overall slightly boring to play through. There were only a couple stages I found genuinely interesting, such as Cthaere and that other one with the cool wraparound corner setup (forget the maker). Overall though it is a wide selection of pretty generic needle. I'm not much of a fan of jtool needle any more, I feel like it's had its time and we've moved on. Obviously, there are people that will enjoy this game more than me, but now that I've had the taste of what more "interesting" needle games can provide I can't really go back to a game like this and fully enjoy it. If you're looking for a pure needle game though without any of those pesky gimmicks, you should give this a try.

I enjoyed this game a lot more than I was expecting to. Almost all of the stages were fun or interesting in some way, even the harder ones. The only ones I didn't really like were FancyFishie's, which felt like corridor needle from 2012, and 29th letter's, which used "vine transport" in a pretty uncomfortable way.
Difficulty-wise most of the game doesn't exceed the 70-75 range, but I found Kizelf's stage to be a lot harder than the rest. I actually did like the stage itself, it does a lot of neat things with gravity arrows, but several of the saves have harsh execution requirements that felt out of line with the rest of the game.
Overall, a pretty beefy collab where almost all of the stages felt worthwhile to complete. Give it a try if you're not sick of jtool needle yet, but maybe don't be afraid to skip stages that don't gel with you.

Pretty fun collab game, I think the average stage is quite solid and there's good balance between the stages, some are shorter and some are longer but I think most people tended to make their stages on the harder side so in general it feels quite balanced. Not every stage is a total winner but a lot of people made interesting and cool stuff I had a lot of fun with. The stuff that stands out the most is probably Popop, Aroxon, and PlayerDash, but I don't think there were any stages I downright disliked. Fun game overall :)

Eighteen-stage needle game of wildly varying difficulty.
As with every large collab, some stages are not going to appeal to you; I did, however, appreciate the varied styles. For me the gravity stages were the hardest, particularly Kizelf's stage, of which the penultimate save I found quite challenging.
I'd recommend playing what looks fun to you and skipping the rest.
