This review is based on a 100% Clear without the use of items from the shop to make segments easier
Perhaps the most adventurey needle game ever devised, Find My Answer takes the player on a journey through a massive world filled with gimmicks, references, platforming, and some other stuff as well. The sheer amount of content must be appreciated, on top of the 15 main stages there's also guest stages, special areas with stuff like mini games or a shop, and entire hard mode, and bunch of achievements. It's almost overwhelming but the game does generally let you tackle things whenever you want, which is nice.
The platforming ranges from a lot of different styles throughout the game, to get the bad out of the way instantly, I think some of the guest areas are lacking, in particular guest area 2 which is Luner's, it plays quite awkwardly and is just very uncomfortable, there's a few other moments I think are kinda weak but they are relatively minor, for example Portal 5 is a needle stage which was just okay, and a few saves here and there can be annoying. For the most part though the game has really nice platforming, the main stages are all based around their own gimmick and at times can be really creative, I found as time went on they got more enjoyable, in particular I had a lot of fun with stages 4, 9, 11, 13, and 14 to be the best ones, but there was no stage here I disliked.
The Hell Mode stages are pretty cool, some of the way stages are buffed can be a little goofy but for the most part they can be quite creative and at least have a neat idea, the main highlight of doing these stages is at the end, if you do everything here and got all 7 crystals you can play Stage 16, which was the highlight of the whole game for me. A super long stage with original screens based on different fangames, genuinely a blast to play and it had me excited to see what was coming next at every moment.
There's some kinda weird things about this game, for one you can't go back to the hub without buying an item, which wouldn't be so bad, but the game is littered with auto saves to the point it's pretty easy to get stuck somewhere by accident, on top of that you have to grind a fair bit of money to buy everything in the shop for 100%, which was mildly annoying, although grinding for money itself is a somewhat enjoyable process even if it's mostly just hitting the slot machines for a few hours. The avoidance present is somewhat cool but I think it's a bit weak, it doesn't match the energy of the song very well and the attacks aren't the best, still it was more fun than I expected. With all that said the game is still for the most part, enjoyable, I found almost all of my playtime pleasant and while you do get the occasional speed bump, the game is just genuinely really fun. I highly encourage going beyond the any% clear for this one, because I think the more you play it the better it gets. Super cool game, unfortunate it's not truly finished but as is it's still a massive game with a lot of passion put into it.

This game gets major props for the design, making a pathing maze this big is absurd, but I really don't think the platforming is that interesting, basically none of the areas truly stand out and it kinda just blends together into a really long and somewhat dull platforming experience.

Unfortunate this didn't get finished, it definitely had potential, as is it's some pretty solid vanilla needle that I enjoyed a fair bit.

Pretty well made needle, it's extremely short but in that short time there were some pretty neat jumps, would probably help a beginner improve a bit as well.

Super basic and simple, the general concept of a monochrome and rainbow world is kinda neat but I feel like nothing was done with it.

Fun, it's definitely chill but the needle could definitely be more interesting. Extra is kinda silly but not much harder than the main game still.

Super basic platforming, but it's fun enough and definitely doesn't over stay it's welcome. I do wonder who Gus is however.

The gimmicks are neat but I feel like the needle design doesn't compliment a lot of them, I enjoyed the teleporters quite a bit however but just fundamentally the platforming isn't that fun for me and at times annoying.
