I would have rated this game a bit higher if it wasn't for the last screen; it's a bit too precise for my liking and the saves aren't very intuitive compared to the two screens before it. This game reminds me a bit of Kale's later needle like 50 Shades of Crimson but more corridor-ish. There's some fun to be had here, but the last screen is not very good.

Feel my hero is a hefty ... I'm going to say needleventure game with some serious bite and a lot of filler content, but a few shining points throughout. As it states in the readme, 7 stages and 10 bosses provides a solid amount of content.
Production wise, its simplistic but competent, does the bare minimum but never creates a problem with it, and looks pleasant enough. Sound design exists, but barely, which would've added a bit more life to the bosses but atleast it was there.
Platforming wise, its pretty throwaway. There are almost a couple minor gimmicks, which is certainly a step down from what I'd hope from a needleventure game, but beyond that, it generally gets less inspired as time goes on though not necessarily harder (atleast until the last platforming save which is just two inver jumps - ie bhop required - which is total shit since the platforming isn't really the hard part of the game and this is somewhat of a super tedious wall) - early stages have some personality with cherry platforming, light triggers or some minor engine gimmicks, whereas later is just flat ordinary needle.
At any rate, the heft of the game comes from the bosses. These vary fairly heavily in quality but were certainly the drawing factor for me to keep going. They very frequently also suffer from 'i'm going to have an enrage phase which makes the fight so much harder than before that 75% of the fight is borderline meaningless timesink' - the attacks being basically just the same plus harder every time does make it feel like a lot of attempts are just timesinks until you get to that point.
The plus of it is that every boss feels different (sort of) and has its own identity, and there's some interesting attacks/patterns to figure out along the way. The sort of in the above is due to the fact that right before the final boss, there's a boss rush remix. They were changed up moderately, with the exception of one which while different, still boiled down to one attack being 10x the problem of the rest, and it being the exact same attack as last time, but for the most part it was still enjoyable. While they were interesting and enjoyable as a whole, the only boss that really stood out for me was the final boss. As such, it feels like the kind of game where to get the most out of it, you're committed to going through a fair bit of mediocrity to get to the part that matters (similar to the boss design, I suppose).
At any rate, it was alright. It did very little to impress, lacked a ton of polish and had a fair bit of uninteresting filler, but it also had some really solid core concepts in places and some ambition behind it and could've been really good with actual testplaying and tweaking. If you're looking for a fairly challenging boss focused game that harkens back a bit to the olden days, this could tickle your fancy for a while.

Is it just a monotonous two-step jumping game? that's it?

Started off with cute platforming but then a few screens had low ceiling jumps and no good align nearby to pass them with walk off more easily.
Although the ceilings are a bit higher than usual.
There's also a big drop screen with I'd assume the good placement for wall hug corners but I always died in the second one and had to go through an unnecessary save jump platforming to pass.
Boss could have been a bit more refined.

Needle with a lot of named / common jumps and some slight variations.
Difficulty doesn't curve too well, even though it gets more difficult at the end.
You get sometimes difficult saves combined with much easier ones in the same screen.
Not sure if it's just me, but I feel like every time you start a new save, the tiling color cycle are made in such a way that you always get the dark blue one in the way, and have to wait for a better visual to come out.
