I enjoyed this game quite a bit, despite the fact that I absolutely wasn't expecting to.
Needle Hatena is a more standard needle collab, which isn't a bad thing, as each stage feels distinct, but as a result each stage, with the exception of Princeoflight and Chrisay, feels very safe. Imo, collabs are a good time to expiriment or try out new things, and a lot of these stages don't do that. I won't hold that against the game though. This is just my personal belief. Overall, a pretty satisfying collab, and while not much is particularly memorable, its very chill and comfy.
I'll leave individual area reviews here.
Princeoflight: Seriously really cool. I love how it looks, and it plays quite well too. I've never seen line needle quite like this and I enjoyed it more than most other forms of line needle.
Shign: I was extremely surprised by just how much I enjoyed this stage. I wasn't expecting much out of this based on what else I played from shign but it actually turned out to be extremely fun in terms of vines/platforms/water.
Egg: Very distinct visually and has a nice atmosphere. I wish the saves were larger but that's my only nitpick of the stage. Egg continues to be one of my favorite needle makers.
Lemon stage: Very cramped cave needle that is surprisingly fun. Feels like something I would try to make except much better.
JPEG: Don't take this the wrong way. I want the maker of this stage to really get better because this stage was bad. Very generic, kinda samey, almost annoying at some points. The visuals were bare bones too. If the creator wants to reach out to me to talk about how to improve their needle I'd happily talk with them. I know it was one of their first cracks at making needle and it shows.
Kittygame: Standard needle with decent visuals. The easiest stage, but I honestly found it very forgettable. Kittygame has massively improved though and that makes me happy.
Chrisay: The hardest and learniest stage in the game. You'll either love or hate this stage. I'm in the camp that enjoys it. The needle is very cycle-based and it can sometimes get pretty frustrating trying to learn them, especially on screen 2. I think Chrisay did a good job with it still though, and I'm looking forward to Doopliss vs. the world even more now.
Artimax: Another maker which makes me happy to see how far they've come since they started making games. Artimax has a distinct needle style which is uniquely his, aqnd despite being one screen, Artimax manages to get a ton of use out of it with pretty good pathing. The jumps themselves are pretty standard water/vine needle but that's fine. Hope Artmiax continues to improve his craft because I see a ton of potential in him.
Starz0r: Spanish needle. Not game ruining because of its easier difficulty but one of the more boring stages.
Credits: I like that there is a credits stage that is relatively easier needle, as well as the use of slopes.
Extra Stages:
Princeoflight: 3rd favorite stage in the game. Exactly like his previous stage but introduces gravity flippers, along with catharsis water movements which are extremely satisfying to pull off.
Kittygame: Weird spike sprites and an extremely unfunny troll/loud noise. Annoying area because of these but it isn't too hard so I don't mind.
Egg: Most fun stage in the game. Extremely fun trigger needle. My only complaint is that there isn't more of it.
Starz0r: Same as his regular stage yet easier.
Overall, I'm excited to see where these creators go and this game showed a new side in a lot of them for me. It doesn't do anything really special or expirimental but that's fine.

Some stages were pretty bland. eggs, princes and lemons stages were really good though.
Chrisays stage shouldve been extra imo and for me was a bit annoying. Still pretty fun though.

The difficulty number of Chrisay area and egg2 area should be replaced by each other imo.

I liked some of the setup with the game but it could use some work. Like after killing the boss you should be able to save again instead of having to do the boss battle again. Some of the traps were good and no game over music was a plus but the background was standard.
