Cool use of jump refreshers and Catharsis water. The long saves were a lot more enjoyable than the ones in previous games.

A trapventure game in the expected style of Marimario/Lily, but more expansive than the expected due to the combined effort.
Makes a huge first impression, the production is phenomenal and stays that way the whole way through.
Likewise, the bosses are amazing - very fair, great production with very stylish attacks and a good variety of attacks and styles (and, to sell it to me immediately, the first boss uses unconventional arena layout/mechanics).
Unfortunately, the platforming is where it lost me. Individually really, every save is great. The problem is for me after a while, they were all the exact same. And they weren't really traps - there were no mindgames, suspense, fakeouts or tricks. Every save was basically a pattern avoidance - here's a bunch of wacky shit thrown at you in a sequence where there's only one process each step of the way, then a couple needle jumps, rinse, repeat. Again, there's tons of super creative stuff and the unexpected characters and shenaniganry are great... its just a chore (if you don't like just learning a pattern and executing it over and over into a guaranteed death.)
Overall, still a great game, but not really what you expect and becomes very tiring to play (and, as a personal point, not what I would want from an adventure game - there was no variety, heck an entire stage was built around a gimmick that served no purpose because the only obstacles were the trap sequences again). It was still probably worth it to get to play the bosses, but it wasn't as much as I'd hoped. I would still absolutely recommend this game, especially if you enjoy pattern gameplay or really like cool bosses, but if you're looking for a zany trap game or a variety filled adventure, this really isn't either of those.

This is one of my favorite needle games so far. Great intermediate challenge that is a little bit inconsistent in some places, but saves that mostly make up for it. Great visuals and music. Occasional pixel-precise stuff required, but overall a good step from beginner to intermediate.

The main problem of this game is that the RNG attacks in this game are too luck-dependent, it's free or it's impossible. The curving attack at the end of the second chorus is a great example. Although the patterns were fun to execute (especially the last chorus) my experience became frustrating because of gross RNGs. I blind cleared this one, which increased my frustration with this game a lot. I don't think I want to recommend this game.

This is a fantastic gimmickless needle with a consistent aesthetic and a similar approach to difficulty. The game is only playable in hard mode (or above?) and as such has one save per screen. While a longer screen/sequence of jumps certainly requires more consistent execution, it does sometimes make it difficult to tell whether an individual jump is actually hard or if it's just being failed due to unfamiliarity. None of them jumps in this game felt particularly punishing, but some of them did feel intimidating being set at the end of a long sequence.
No real complaints at all. Highly recommended for any needle fans.
