after two screens of easy needle, you have to wait until the heat death of the universe

Enjoyable needle game tho really unbalanced, the few first sreens are way harder than the rest (especially third screen) and the game is very full jumpy which makes it really hand breaking. It's visually very nice too.
I was honestly a bit disappointed because, even if it's pretty decent, that's clearly not the best maps the maker posted on discord. Gonna keep an eye on that name, banger could pop at anytime.

pretty good, brought down by a couple weak spots
atmosphere is cool, and even though the tileset doesn't look great the choice of palette + song + the fog effect more than make up for it. recommended
first screen is the hardest screen by a massive margin (took 1/2 of my total deaths), so dont give up if you think its just barely too hard for you.
edit: replayed it twice, on the third playthrough skipping every other save. it gets better with every playthrough

Another wonderful adventure from RandomChaos_, in the vein of Full Techno Jackass. There are two paths through the game, each with a secret stage, for a total of 4 endings. I'd recommend playing everything the game has to offer, as none of it disappoints. Like FTJ, there's some really fun needle with a variety of cool gimmicks, some familiar and some unique. There are also several avoidances and bosses, each with it's own interesting ideas. Again, similar to FTJ the avoidances are very bite-sized making them approachable and enjoyable for those of us who lack the experience for long avoidance grinds.
Overall, this game is a wholehearted recommendation, combining Randy's signature funky atmosphere, creative needle, and super fun avoidances.

Short and sweet rand-like game where you get a wand with various spells to aid you in traversing the randomly placed object fields. The spells are really fun to use, making it feel possible to beat a save no matter the luck. The levels themselves are pretty diverse, with a lot of fun ideas that combine well with the gimmick. Unfortunately, due to being a game jam game, it feels much too short, and some of the spells don't feel used to their full potential. I would love a 50-floor version of this, with more spells and level gimmicks.

Excellent needle with some balancing issues, though this is to be expected since it's designed to be cleared deathless (by needle gods). Makes fantastic use of air vines without them feeling janky, but rather to make vine grabs a bit harder than they normally are and with a bit of simple tech for pathing. Some players may be put off by the full-jump start to a few saves, though it didn't bother me. Would definitely recommend this to needle players.

Starts off good and steadily declines after stage 2. The final stage's visuals are really bad for needle.

short needle game with a nice ambient loop. once you beat the 4 or so saves in the first room, you are taken to a room which plays "a red score in tile" by william basinski, while a very slow series of triggers prevents you from moving past, presumably until the song is over.
the song is 45 minutes.
thankfully, its one of basinski's best works so its worth sitting through
unfortunately, if I were to rate this i would have to deduct points for using the reissue cover as the background instead of the original, which is far more fitting
edit: you need to wait a whole lot longer than 45 minutes. unless i did my math wrong, you need to wait about 8.55596645 * 10^24 years
