I made this.
Bad game because I couldn't bother to fully test this. Expect some stupidity.

I've played most of the maker's recent works, and I have to say that this is the best. You might think "Next, Lucien will definitely praise for this game", but actually not. First of all, content of this game is absolutely rich enough, with a total of 16 levels and about 50 screens, including some 80 difficulty levels. However, In such a long-length game, I didn't experience much level diversity, but lots of monotonous and homogeneous needle design, though appearance in each stage has something obviously different. This is actually also a general and old problem of his games. I have to say that his games are somewhat tedious, really, always 16px general or near-general jumps, otherwise very common combos of vine, water and platform. If his recent works were used as a training set, AI might be able to generate dozens of similar new games in 1 hour. As for the difficulty balance, it works well in most cases, but in a few cases it doesn't exist at all. You can even play a 50-difficulty level and an 80 one in 1 screen at the same time.
In the end, however, I'd like to say that it's difficult for him to make a game with excellent needle design for sure, but it's difficult for him to make a very poor game, too. In fact, although some levels once made me want to give up (considering the factor of "difficulty cheating", stages in the middle are much harder than previous stages), this game doesn't have too many unsatisfactory aspects. Most of the time, the needle design is decent enough. So if you are a high-skilled player, it might not be a bad choice for you.
