Very good needle for most part, good variety with a lot of callbacks to famous needle games. Didn't find some particular floors fun and there was some big disbalance between saves, but it's not that crucial in big picture; still by far best game in this series, easily can recommend for everyone who love vanilla needle

Korean avoidance fangame released on StellLive Cafe Naver on 2023/09/21 (.exe is 2023/09/20, and author says it is a re-upload, so maybe the actual release was day before): https://cafe.naver.com/tteokbokk1/291012
This is author's first work, made on GM8, but the game uses custom main character and the game has large window in comparison with standard GM8 games.
Game was made for non-fangame community, so you immediately see tutorial screen with keybinds. Then the first screen is a loading screen (even if it is not necessarily clear). And then you have a portal room, and you see 'death count'. Game does not track game time.
Avoidance itself is both fine and meh in the same time. I have beaten it both in 2024 and now in 2025, and honestly my opinion have not changed a lot. RNG is badly designed, being able to give walls on a lot of occasions (horizontal fruits ; sonic speed orange bouncing fruit and etc). Patterns are fine-ish, although they are very instagib-y, and some of them are not clear at the start. Like the one light-blue ring that goes into you, but actually does not kill you. I was thinking how to dodge it while I actually had to ignore it. Then there is a black-out sequence with a spotlight. It is fine, although the weird pink aiming is confusing, and is not necessarily fun to dodge. The final chorus has a lot of instagibs, and you need to make good planning of how to aim stuff or how to dodge RNG successfully. The very final spiral was very scary for me in 2024, but on my 2nd playthrough I realized I was overreacting and it is actually fine.
The GIF sprite is pretty cool, but the visuals overall are very basic, so cannot say much about that.
For author's first work, this is pretty fine. Other than that, I was a bit bored playing this, and I cannot necessarily say that I enjoyed attacks or the balance.
Would not recommend.

There are about 4 completely invisible saves overall, while we have access to maybe 2 layers of blue overall to figure things out.
It was ok to play, but I don't think I need to get eye surgery whenever I have to do precise platforming.
