Needlecaster is a gimmick needle game made by Verve in about 24 hours for the first I Wanna Game Jam. It features a gimmick where pressing the shoot button will prompt you to cast a spell. Inputting 3 directions will cause the player to cast spells that help them get through the game. The further you go, the more spells you unlock,

At the start this gimmick is very fun, but it quickly becomes a sort of situation where there are too many spells to keep track of. There are multiple solutions to solving some screens, but some of those solutions are much harder to execute than others. While each screen did something unique, by the end it became too much for me to handle and I unfortunately got upset at something I otherwise would recommend wholeheartedly. Too many cooks in the kitchen with this gimmick.
