It's a decent game that is visually impressive as hell, but with gameplay that declines each stage and as the years go by. There's a good level of creativity to be felt from the starting stages of the game, but as each goes on it starts to look more like someone's bad Jtool Needle, with the final stage being a good example of just making everything harder at the sacrifice of good gameplay. It's generic, boring, and feels completely lifeless compared to the other stages.
It does have some good things, such as the ability to do needle screens over bosses, which I greatly appreciate due to how many avoidance this has. That's also a gripe too, why is the worm boss one you can actually fight normally whilst everything else only has an avoidance and no fighting to it, it feels like a feature you wanted to have originally but did a 180 on and it really made the game less enjoyable for me.
Finally, I'm not a big fan of the final boss either, at all. Unlike every other boss in the entire game, you cannot skip it, and not knowing you will be forced to fight him means you might have skipped some of the other avoidances, meaning you may be unprepared for this one in turn. There's plenty of RNG attacks, almost all of them, but the real pain comes from the very end, where you MUST be in the middle of the screen or will die at the very end of the fight, it's something you might not even see coming before it's too late and it made me have to play it for almost half an hour longer because of it.
Overall, I really think this game could be good, but it needs a serious overhaul to the later stages of needle platforming and preferably more actual fighting modes for the bosses. Also, you should either add a way to skip the final boss like every other one or give a player a warning at the start that they won't be able to skip it and may need the other bosses for practice.

Some parts were pretty annoying but I liked exploring the map itself.

Given the title alone, you can already make a guess who this game was dedicated to.
It's pretty easy to lose interest at first glance, with the amount of trap spam and plane/corner jumps. However, the further you go, the more interesting the game gets. Coincidentally, the point where the game picks up in quality also sees a massive drop in difficulty.
The boss weirdly reminds me of Gustav's style, although not nearly as complex, with patterns that you must react to immediately as they come your way. It's a fun time, but the random(360) orb attack has a tendency to snipe you as you try to dodge it, so be careful if you receive that.
Overall, not half-bad for the time! I'd recommend this one if you're willing to stick it out past the beginning.
