Didn't go far into this, lost interest insanely quickly since there were probably more spike trap triggers than there were spikes in the first couple saves and every trap was a spike flying at you.

Joke game consisting of a platforming section and an avoidance. The platforming section looks like a normal needle screen at first glance, but you'll suddenly realize that it's not. Both visible portals are fake, and you'll suddenly find yourself lost in a maze of invisible/fake blocks and invisible portals, which basically turns the platforming section into a guessing game of "where is the real portal" with a lot of boring needle jumps involved. I'm pretty sure I can't even call it a "puzzle", since there's nothing to decipher at all. Luckily, the "Pirate Plunder" file shows where is the right portal, but even then, you can still get lost because that portal leads to another section with another fake portal. The right portal is invisible. The platforming is simply unbearable.
The avoidance is mostly fun, though. Themed on the numerous Colonel fights that exist in fangames, it consists of two phases, and the game autosaves once you reach the second one. Multiple phases of straight RNG-heavy attacks and one or two simple pattern attacks, which you'll probably have to die in order to learn, but since they are so few, they aren't really an issue. There are some really bad luck-based RNG attacks, though, specially the attacks in the first phase that occur while the song is at the "Goooooo left go right go pick up the step go left go right go left!!!!" part, which can wall you really easily and there's nothing you can do about that. There are two of these attacks, one at the beginning and one right before the platform part. Both are terrible, and having one of those at the end of the fight is a particularly bad idea (Having one of those anywhere in the fight is already a bad idea anyway).
I'm not entirely sure about what was the idea behind making the platforming so bad, but it honestly made me dislike the game a lot more than I would if the platforming didn't exist. At least you can skip the portal hunt by checking the Pirate Plunder file, but that doesn't justify the existence of the platforming in any way. The avoidance is still fun, though, and might be worth playing for if you don't mind a couple bad RNG attacks. Would recommend, maybe.

Very colorful and enjoyable needle game. No jumps that were too difficult and a fun maze segment at the end.

Pretty good game with pretty good music. A few bugs and annoying screens but otherwise fine.

A wonderful, classic medley game. This game starts off at a beginner level, but eventually ramps up to be really hard. The difficulty curve is a little wonky, however; stage 5 is considerably harder than anything before it and debatably slightly harder than stage 6. The platforming is fun, and nearly all the screen picks are good (PYF notwithstanding). The bosses generally follow the difficulty well, although the stage 5 boss is, as its stage, much more challenging than those previous. Thankfully, there is an autosave mid-fight. Some may complain about boss rush, but I found it fun, aside from gravity man. Big Kid chase was fun and intense. M-Stage is a long, challenging needle screen with some gravity and jump refreshers. Final boss was annoying at first, but I kinda just let myself get numb to the first phase and went from there. One of my favorite fangames, basically a must-play.

Rating based on true ending. Other reviews go more into detail, but this is probably one of the best needle games out there. The game has a nice pseudo-plot, and the atmosphere it provides really serves to motivate the player. The gimmicks are well-used, and there were few rooms that I felt were especially stupid. Humorous, challenging, and just overall a really fun time. A must-play.
