PYF often gets shit on way too much for having several brave design decisions and is regarded as one of the worst Rukito games ever made. most notable is the infamous PYF water, not letting you see yourself properly, boiling down to pure kid control. this doesn't pose that much of a problem if you have any substantial needle skill from what I can tell. it's not as bad as some people say it is - however, I wouldn't call it an interesting idea. I think the idea is bad and plays poorly. I'm glad it's very rarely found in games, similar to other disappearing player gimmicks
the needle holds up fairly well despite being made a decade and a half ago. there's still mean Rukito-tier traps that just kinda suck and are mean. please, watch a video of every save before playing it, because you will be sorely disappointed when you clear a save only to get instagibbed by some flying spike you never even thought could theoretically hurt you. it's not too hard for Rukito standards. an easier Rukito game like this one is a good introduction to his style and similar games. I won't really talk about the bosses since they're just plain bad and not worth getting into, everything that I'd say would be a total moot point by now. however, the needle has some remarkable moments. the screens utilizing gravity are quite interesting and contain some of the most difficult needle in the game. the final climb is super iconic to me and I really enjoy the way the jumps are made. the last warp trap is insanely, insanely mean though. green/dark blue stage is interesting but I didn't like the shuriken cycle screen too much. all the other needle is fun, except for the times when it isn't

There was some bullshit on the way, but overall it's decent needle collab (there is 4 stages that are seems to maked by different people, idk why there is only Zara mentioned here) and sometimes there was pretty sick maneuveres. Probably can recommend if you hungry for some hard semi-generic needle

Very well made visually, platforming was refreshing.
Maybe a little bit too precise on stage 3-a.

OK, I have to say, that Saira's screen is one of the most interesting needle screens I've ever played, at least pathing wise. I'm actually impressed by it. Some might not like it for having wacky refresher usages though, but I sure liked it. The game is overall fine, with some other interesting screens, and some bad screens. I think this game is not for everyone, but for me, I'm really happy that I found this game.

Very hard and very generic needle (consists of 4 sequential hubs with 4 one-screen stages in each one). Not completely irredeemable, but far from adequate

Rating is without any autofire tools.
Yeah just the bosses are scary overall, nothing else to talk about other than that.
Final boss does have a very RNG dependent attack at times.

*rating based on normal
old-styled fangame RPG sort of deal (?) with 6 unique stages. you have to clear them twice: once in their regular unmodified state and once again in a buffed state. this applies to the needle as well. there's some sort of odd autoshoot gimmick (?) that occurs if you hold jump and shoot. this is probably to alleviate the boss HP issue. the bosses all have lots of HP and you don't do a lot of damage. thankfully, with autoshoot this is made very manageable, so it's fine. the platforming is the hardest part of the game, especially before you get the dash. once you're able to dash, you can zoom past most of the platforming later on. you'll also get used to just tanking hits from spikes and other stuff that hurts you, since it's faster to just rush through than carefully avoid everything. the last stage is the hardest one by far and just kinda sloppily combines everything you've seen before into one clusterfuck of a stage. the final boss, which appears twice, is one of the easiest bosses in the game because of how much health you have
the game has some mild technical issues, like block corner collision being bad and textboxes sometimes tabbing you out of the game. they aren't anything debilitating though, just kind of annoying at times. what is debilitating and really annoying, is the bad collision that is ever-present throughout the entire game. you can lose HP randomly or just get absolutely fucked by -999 HP from touching lava that is nowhere near you
