A great gimmick needle game blemished by a poor late game stage and save balancing that is all over the place.

A cute and short precision needle game not really bordering on 'L-needle' territory, but still perhaps in the adjacent provinces or municipalities. There are three colored zones of corridor style needle, each becoming more densely packed as they progress. The first zone is arguably something doable by beginners, but by the end, there are a few sort of punishing jump sequences. Still nothing that will have you tearing your hair out. It also feels a little bit like the designer got bored/frustrated towards the end and just started stacking diamond variants on top of each other to finish the project... but that is just a guess. The music is a selection of okay chiptunes, but they are very short, and therefore loop often. Tilesets are banging in general, with the first one being my favorite.

Somewhere in the space between L-needle and just normal 'precision' needle, there exist 'Hades-likes', so named because... well, come on. Anyway, this is one such game, a bunch of tightly packed corridors with specific and highly demanding jumps but peppered with frequent save points. Your enjoyment/tolerance of this game will come directly for your affinity for grinding a single jump or small set of jumps to pixel perfection. For me, this is right up my alley, but for some reason the in-game music didn't play, and the tileset struck me as somewhat bland/generic. I love the idea of embodying deities and otherworldly concepts as fangames, especially the notion of 'translating' them into needle, so this was super fun all around. Could have been more in the package, but still a great experience for what feels like an amplified jtool testing ground.

"Nyx is the Greek goddess (or personification) of the night. A shadowy figure, Nyx stood at or near the beginning of creation and mothered other personified deities such as Hypnos (Sleep) and Thanatos (Death), with Erebus (Darkness). Her appearances are sparse in surviving mythology, but reveal her as a figure of such exceptional power and beauty that she is feared by Zeus himself." - Wiki
