This is a needle game with a lot of wacky ideas, which is probably expected considering the name. It's all over the place but there's a lot of super memorable and fun things, like the bouncing water save, or the invisible kid save. Some of them have a mild learning curve and the difficulty is all over the place, but everything is learnable and super doable and consistent, which is pretty satisfying and fun. All in all this is a great game, it's fun and cute, and at the very least has good visuals and music.

Standard fare from a "thank you–like," meaning a focus on needle-y platforming with gimmicks used in weird and wacky ways.
Expect the game to test a wide range of skill sets with gimmicks, cycles, and visual challenge; your enjoyment will be proportional to how much you mind more of a sudoku bent to your needle, if not exactly fitting that genre.
I found most of the screens to be good, but the ones I didn't enjoy really hurt my overall enjoyment, especially the invisible kid screen. In general, I think I would have had more fun if the ends of a couple saves were tweaked to be easier.
Would recommend to players who like this sort of novelty and style, with the caveat that you may be frustrated by a few of the screens.

Fangames were a mistake.
I somehow found something even worse.

This game has a lot of interesting gimmicks with very steep learning curves, and none of them linger for any amount of time. Aside from gimmicks, it also has some interesting and fun needle. I loved the puzzle solving aspect of trying different strategies, some jumps seeming impossible until you figure out the correct strategy. In other cases, there are even multiple ways of doing the jump, which I enjoyed.
A couple of screens in this game do feel overly sadistic though, putting the most difficult jump/gimmick near the end of a save. I did not enjoy having to play through 20 seconds of needle before I could throw myself at a jump I had no idea on how to approach. This is only a problem if you, like me, are not a seasoned gimmick needle player. And even still, it was an enjoyable experience overall.
Music/Visuals are great, but one background in particular made my whole vision "slide to the left" after I had stared at it for a while. I'm not sure if this was the intended effect.
