A short little needle game submitted for the "Alternate Reality" gamejam. It doesn't really do anything super unique, and it's short length prevents it from really developing, but what is here is decent. There's good use of spike patterns and a cool background, creating a fun aesthetic that works well for this game. There's a cute micro-story and a pretty looking final screen. The jumps themselves are relatively basic, but nothing is annoying and the difficulty remains easy throughout.

A fun sudoku game coming out of the "alternate reality" game jam. The game features a unique control scheme, where you use your mouse to guide an erratically moving fly. Beating the game requires getting pretty good with this gimmick, as there are long survival sections and some precision. The game is clearly focused on humor, and it does a good job with that, creating wacky scenarios to navigate while still remaining fun.
Overall, a solid entry into the genre of "intentionally hard to use controls". If that's your thing, this game is well worth playing.

This review is based on a 100% clear.
If you've played the other Ebb Needles then you probably know what to expect, a bunch of needle stages by different makers and sometimes with some gimmicks. They are mostly fine, although I think a lot of it doesn't leave a strong impression because of how much of the game comes and goes. I think it's an even bigger issue in this entry than other games in this series, although it has some highlights. I think the final stage of extra is definitely the coolest part of the game even if I found a few things a little awkward. In general I think extra was a a decent bit better than the main game so I'd certainly recommend it, it's not even really much harder. Overall decently fun to play but sadly as I'm writing this review, I've forgotten a lot of it already.

Update: Turns out this entire review is incorrect.
The leftmost doors on the first and third rows of the first(?) KeyPick 100 screen have their costs increased by two.
While the puzzle can normally be solved without opening the white 8-key (originally 6-key) door in row 1, it cannot be solved without opening the orange 8-key (originally 6-key) door in row 3, meaning the player is left with two too few keys to open the final doors before the warp.
This is likely an oversight, but nevertheless one that makes the game impossible.
