I just got around to playing this game, due to hearing great things about it, and after playing through it, I can definitely see where it was coming from. I do have a few issues with the game, but first I'll talk about what I did like.
The visuals and sound design are absolutely phenomenal. Every second of this game was great to look at and great to listen to. Even when I died (which was more times than I'd like to admit), the game over screen had a fun tune to hear.
The stages were, for the most part, very enjoyable to me. While some games I feel were extremely similar to their originals, I feel that they added a good bit of fangame charm to them, which I really enjoyed. Some people say that the Monkey Ball State was too long, but it was probably my favorite stage out of them all, it was really fun to play.
Not all stages made me feel this way, however. The Sonic stage in particular was not very fun in my opinion, it just didn't feel similar to Sonic much and the platforming felt very off to me. The Ganbare Goemon 2 stage wasn't my favorite but the boss redeemed it for me, so I'll give it a bit of a pass.
The part that really felt the worst to me though was the Gunstar stage. Gunstar Heroes is one of my top 5 favorite games of all time and I really wanted to see something cool get done with it, but I was disappointed. It was just stage 4 of Gunstar, with less of the features that made Gunstar fun in the first place, e.g. holding multiple weapons and the kick/throw, along with the minibosses. I know it would've maybe been difficult learning all the controls for some people, but I can't help but feel a bit sad about it. Despite this, I did like that the enemy movement was incredibly faithful to the original, which definitely surprised me.
I don't hate this game, far from it. It was an overall positive experience, however the hype for it really set the bar a bit higher than what I actually experienced.

Short little needle game based on jump refreshers, it's got a cool theme, while I'm not super big on jump refresher needle this ends up being decently enjoyable and I'd say it's a pretty good time. There's even a little avoidance at the end which is super short but it makes the ending a little more satisfying. Overall good game, while it's not super in line with my tastes I definitely respect and enjoy it.

It's an alright game. It's fairly short.
All jumps go to their maximum height, the difficulty isn't well balanced (the third jump is the hardest part of the entire game), and there's a misaligned spike in the second room that will kill you if you jump aligned to the wall beneath it.
The biggest issue I have from a design perspective is the filler. The winding section at the end of the first room, as well as the entire third screen, just feel meaningless.

This review is based on a 100% clear.
Cool little adventure game, it has 3 stages, each having a unique gimmick which is always cool to see. There's also bosses, which are pretty neat as well despite the avoidance being a lot easier than the other two. The boss for the middle stage especially stood out because it could be quite overwhelming. I like this game quite a bit, it's a cute little fun game.
Edit for 100%: The secrets and extra stuff is really cool, the avoidance is seemingly unfinished but I still enjoyed it. On a repeat playthrough I definitely enjoyed this game a bit more than I did the first time.

The needle's pretty good for a simple style. I think the visuals are a detriment here; specifically, the background and spikes/blocks don't mix well together, particularly for a needle game. One or the other would be fine. I did like the decorative tiles, though.
