This review is based on a 100% clear, this is also a revised version of this review written on April 14th 2025.
I played this game a while ago and it was my least favorite needle game by a sizable margin. I was always curious if I'd still feel that way coming back to it since in general I'm quite a bit less critical of fangames than I was when I first played it. I definitely enjoyed the game more although overall I'm not the biggest fan still. Иyinmir and GlayTV are still stages I find pretty unpleasant but there's more stuff I had fun with, notably AHS1222 I think is pretty good now. The vast majority of the game is still just okay and I don't feel that strongly about, although the good stuff is quite nice, notably Dengol and Biogom.
The extra content is for the most part more fun than the main game, at least going by the number of stages I enjoyed. 6 of the 7 extra stages are quite nice, I especially had fun with Biogom's, Dengol's, and AHS1222's, the last of which I enjoyed more than the regular stage even. If you go off playtime though extra is much worse than the main game because EX GlayTV is really really really annoying. It's very awkward, unsatisfying, and inconsistent needle mixed with eyesore visuals which make it hard to do even basic shit, I normally don't mind visual challenge at all but this is a case where I just found it unbearable especially since I don't even think it looks nice, although that could just be me. This stage makes it so while I would recommend playing extra, I would not recommend completing it, especially since this stage is way harder than the rest of the game.
Overall I was definitely too harsh on the game initially even if I'm still not huge on it overall. I'd say I had fun with it although the stuff that is bad drags it down quite a bit for me because how much time is spent on that stuff, with peaks that weren't high enough for me to overlook them so easily. Still it's probably worth your time if you wanna check out a hard needle collab.

Long needleventure that had some great ideas and some bad screens. First half is mostly needle with Stage 4 having a really dumb f jump in the middle of the stage. Second half had some great gimmicks like block pushing to being shot at. Last stage is my least favorite stage because you have to do some annoying needle screens in a time limit. The bosses were pretty fun and the avoidances were ok. But they can wall you at times. It was sorta mixed in my opinion, but I am glad that it is over.

An interesting boss with a bunch of unique mechanics I haven't seen anywhere. At the start it could seem easier than it is, as the difficulty severely increases with each phase. For me, this boss was one of the hardest I've beaten ever, it took roughly 20 hours of gameplay. I don't think I regret it though.

Based on 100 % Clear. Insanely long adventure that kinda lasts too long i'd say. Game says there is 6 stages + extra, but in reality it's 20+ stages, cause every stage has sub-stage, which are pretty big on their own. I can't say i dislike long games, but i feel like some stages can be shorter without too much of production loss (like 5b as most notable example)
Stages itself are pretty fun with main focus on straight needle with some addition of superficial gimmicks, traps and puzzles. Some saves are gross and i didn't fan of last stage gimmick, but it's still decent. Bosses are mostly good, i'd say. They are mostly about some RNG, some of them are avoidances, and overall, they are quite nice. Last boss is very epic and atmospheric, best part of the main game
There's also secrets, which are nicely hidden and opens you path to extra. Secrets are kinda basic needle, nothing too interesting, but extra is way better. Extra contains of 2 fights, one of them is 5+ minute avoidance with good aestethics and mostly chill gameplay, even tho some instagibs are kinda brutal. Second fight is epic 10+ minute Destination-like battle against color crystals - probably best thing in the game, creative and fun all the way, can recommend enter extra for this, if you like this sort of stuff
In general solid game. Can be better in some places, but overall packing still bring me ton of enjoyment
