Very good and varied needle game with tons of different gimmicks and creative level design.
Aesthetically is very good, although imo can be hard on the eyes on some over the top visuals.
As I've stated before this ""edgy"" type of style is not precisely my cup of tea but at least is not that intrusive to the experience.

The only really bad thing I can think of is the game lagging very bad on some areas like the hub for some odd reason.
The flip vine stage I hated but that's just me hating on gravity flip.

If you don't mind long saves (which this game has a ton of) I recommend giving it a try.

difficulty balance is a bit all over the place (the water stage in particular is by far the hardest part of the game), and the needle design sometimes leaves a bit to be desired. It's a cute nod towards Abducted's aesthetics, and though it lacks that game's sense of exploration and discovery, it makes up for it with a slightly more modern sense of needle design and the occasional gimmick. The game was at it's strongest during the stages featuring long saves of lenient vanilla needle, and at its weakest when using ice vines and water grabs in very uncomfortable ways.

Banger needle, very similar to Abducted style-wise, but with more smooth gameplay overall. The only part i was not really fond of is final stage, because of ice wines; but other that it was absolutely enjoyable stuff both atmosphere-wise and gameplay-wise
