Rating includes extra.
I have no idea how to grade this type of needle since I almost never play it, aside from the occasional I Wanna Maker map. I've been told that with needle that requires cancels, the cancel itself isn't part of the difficulty. I've also heard that certain mechanics (like low cancels) have a difficulty floor.
The game consists of a screen you play forward, then backward. After that, there are a few one-jump screens. Every jump is some sort of invert variant. Most of the jumps kind of suck, but the one-jump screens actually had some interesting setups, so those were kind of fun to find.
The extra screens have some interesting, albeit hand-destroying, manoeuvres. They're definitely harder than anything in the base game, particularly the last two or three saves which require the player to chain cancels. If you can cancel consistently, they're not very hard; if you can't, then good luck.
For the difficulty rating, I'm relying on the qualitative description (i.e., "Expert"), since I have no real comparison thanks to my inexperience with this type of needle. If I'm being honest, the game "felt" a lot easier than any other 80 difficulty game I've played or cleared; I've chosen to go with the higher of the two based on the assumption that other players who have cleared are more experienced than I am and thus can give a more accurate rating than me. I don't wanna be that guy who comes in and grades it 20 difficulty lower than anyone else when in reality, I have no idea how to grade this stuff—but at the same time, I think it's important to be truthful in my reviews.
Anyways, I would honestly recommend this game to players who want to practice low jump cancels, which was pretty much what happened for me. I definitely have a better understanding of, and have improved at clearing, invert variants. How useful is that? Well, not very, but if you stop and think about it, you can say the same about pretty much everything in fangames.

Personally I didn't really like it. Every boss has very boring gameplay or horrible attack difficulty balance. Some saves were weird precision needle which does not utilize the gimmick at all, or were even annoying. For example one save has a long unnecessary intro which literally does not have any gameplay, and one has multiple of two-block-height high gravity jumps at the start of the save. I get that this game is fourth fangame dagger has made, but I enjoyed the second game more honestly. Give it a go if you're interested, however this one is not a recommendation from me.

This needle game starts decently and then half the jumps become really annoying to pull off.

I first played this shortly after release. It's still pretty good, though not quite great. Still, it was a good trip down memory lane, despite the platforming being trivial for me nowadays.
The platforming after the boss without a save is a little too mean for me to recommend this game to beginners.

Rating is based on New mode and includes extra. Difficulty doesn't includes extra, would be 60-ish with.
Quite good game composed of 3 stages with each a secret, an avoidance and an extra stage. Regular stages are classic needle but well made and enjoyable with emphasis on water and a bit on vines. Secrets are much more puzzly and actually very interesting, maybe the best part of the game and unlock the extra stage which is also pretty good (sort of thesys inspired stage, harder than the main game). Avoidance is pretty borring but at least not a roadblock because of how easy it is.
