This review is based on obtaining the True Ending
It's a pretty common opinion to absolutely love this game, but to me there's a very good reason to do so. I am NOT a fan of the first two crimson needle games, I think they tend to be annoying and frustrating, but calling this a crimson needle game is like calling the smart phone the sequel to the rotary phone, like yes the previous steps were needed to get here but we have advanced so far past the original idea it's basically it's own thing.
This game instead of sticking to needle with just water and vines as "gimmicks" has it's own set of unique concepts and ideas, such as shooting walls to get a double jump or blocks that bounce you up very high, these are combined with so many great and creative jumps. I mean it honestly when I say I think this game has no bad saves, every single thing in this game was some degree of enjoyable to me, and that is amazing for a game with THIS much content. Floor 31 on it's own is a master class of design in my opinion, so many creative ideas, great saves, a unique atmosphere throughout it all, and a great conclusion makes this one section just so good, but the content after is nothing to scoff at either.
After floor 31 there following 35 saves of needle are just fantastic, I like them all, some more than others for sure but there's a lot of highlights, and I would be remiss to not mention Floor 100, which is SUCH a good conclusion to this game. I feel like it's hard to verbalize just how much I like this game, but it's just so so so good, and I think it deserves nothing but a perfect rating. This is a needle masterpiece, and I will love this game forever. Amazing work, absolutely phenomenal.

It was mediocre, but mostly fine. Also one of the save seems to require 1f (or at least 2f, not sure)

Rating based on normal end. The player's movement would go crazy and uncontrollable at the transition border of rocket and normal area(sometimes even in the middle), which is really annoying. Otherwise there's nothing to be blamed.

Precise vines and jump refreshers. There are some poorly balanced (and paced) saves that drag down the rating for me. It's pretty good if you're skilled enough to clear without much effort, though.

Hades, except without creativity, harder, and with even poorer difficulty-balance.

technically should be safe, since using 7zip to unzip the self-extractor exe (standard result of the "compile as exe" option in GMS1) shows up no detections on virustotal (except gmsched having 1 detection, but that seems to happen with gmsched always), as opposed to the raw self-extractor triggering tons of them.
so very likely to be just another case of antivirus being hypersensitive towards the self-extractor.
(not that I actually bothered to test running it)
