Multi stage game with each adding an incremental gimmick to the previous, with the final combining all in a short challenge room.

While the early stages are fairly simple, the final does gets precise and you have to get used to the final gimmick very quickly.

This is such a cool game focused around different mechanics that really touch upon the "unusual movement" idea I always enjoy from games. Mechanics like the ones in this game offer a unique way of playing that feels almost uncomfortable at first, but develops into something extremely satisfying once you can pull it off well. This one even goes a step further by combining the gimmicks in some segments, sometimes requiring you to really think about what you're doing first.

First time playing something from the maker and based on this they're definitely someone worth keeping on your radar if you like interesting games.

This game starts off strong with a funny sequence and some really nice art in Mio's home. I really like everything up until the hub since it has an adventure game feel. When the hub stages start, it looses that unfortunately and feels a lot more messy. The beginning actually looks like a cave, but I just don't like the aesthetic of the mess of spikes that most of the post hub part of the game is. Most of the gameplay is after the hub though, and it does a good job. There are quite a few unique gimmicks and they are fun most of the time except for a few uncomfortable parts of gameplay. There's the dialogue, which I like a lot and I think adds a lot to the game. The game unfortunately ends abruptly which is unfortunate because I wish there could be a conclusion to the story, and the final stage is too short.

I hope this game could get an update since I think a proper ending and smoothing out the gameplay overall would go a long way.

Very fun gimmick needle game with some interesting puzzles and unique gimmicks, took me ~45 minutes to beat. There were a few annoying parts and the difficulty felt pretty inconsistent throughout the game, but solid overall.
