Super cool game, the atmosphere is fantastic and while the visuals can be a bit intense, I don't think they are distracting or anything once you adapt to them. The story is vague but elements of it can be pieced together and it's pretty touching. The gameplay itself I like a lot, there's not many actual saves but what's provided here I enjoy a lot, especially the Forgiveness stage was very fun.

This is a really fun adventure game with a solid focus on having various enemies that do different things to impede your progress, from aiming at you directly to charging right at your head they're always out there for blood. There's a lot of run'n'gun gameplay to accompany this, which makes this truly feel like such a unique creation within the community that you might wish to try if you want a breath of fresh air. The artwork for the game is also on a damn fine level, and it'd be hard to argue that the maker doesn't give off a specific art style that's unique to themself.
Overall, definitely a game I'd recommend to pretty much anyone who can stomach a bit of challenge. It made me take a quick trip out of retirement to throw a whole day at it and I did not feel disappointed in the slightest.

I adore the aesthetics in this game, particularly in the first stage which has some really creative spike arrangements unlike really anything I've seen before, leading to some really unique platforming. As a whole I really like this style of needle, it can be a bit strange at times but I never found it to be annoying or awkward, this definitely isn't for everyone but I vibed with it a lot.

Game starts pretty good but only gets better throughout as the use of cycles and triggers gets more intense, which makes the later bits more interesting to play. The only part I was kinda confused by was screen 2 which has a max vspeed corner for seemingly no reason, it's not super egregious though since it's the first jump so you can brute force it. Cool game.

Okay needle, could definitely be better in some places and at times kinda feels like glorified corridor needle, but nothing was downright unpleasant even if the balance was a bit iffy.

Fun pathing stuff, there's some creative bits here and nice setups. The first stage was much harder than the second stage and also a bit worse, both are still pretty nice though.

Pretty good needle, has some setups and at times interesting pathing, in particular the final stage was pretty cool with that stuff. Worth a try.

I mostly really like this game, the needle style feels really nice to play and for the most part, it's super satisfying. I also just like how the game uses JTool mechanics. The difficulty is a bit all over the place but generally most saves have a decent amount of challenge, but most things are quite consistent which is great. My main complaint is the final save, the jump in the top left of the screen is pretty annoying, it's by far the hardest jump in the game and while you definitely get better at it with time, it doesn't feel very good to die to. It doesn't help that it's super easy to die past it, although I did get pretty unlucky and had a ton of chokes which worsened the experience. I'd still recommend the game though, it's pretty good just has that one hiccup that bothered me.
