Solstice is pretty decent. Starting from maybe 50 difficulty platforming and ending at 65-70, there's a fair amount of vanilla, if somewhat creative, needle.
The biggest problem with the game is the prehistoric engine. It's terrible, from poor collision detection (creating an inordinate amount of 16-pixel landings that shouldn't exist) to that awful 1-frame movement bug on respawn. It makes the game harder and more unpleasant than it ought to be, which is a shame. On a good engine, I would drop the difficulty by a few points and probably give it a 6.5-7.0 rating; however, I can't be lenient, not in this day and age of high-quality engines to choose from.
In light of the bad engine, I don't think I can recommend people play through the game—unless you're truly desperate for some fairly challenging, yet still reasonable, needle. It's pretty short, at least.

Reasonably fun needle game somewhat based around lower frame jumps and tight maneuvers. Most of it is good, however a few jumps got on my nerves and at times it felt like the precision of some bits did not really serve the save well. That said, the game has pretty nice vibes thanks to the good song and the needle is generally fairly peaceful, so I still liked it.
