This is an adventure game with some metroidvania elements, a lot of content unfortunately with a lot of rough edges.
A few of those biggest painpoints have been smoothed down with updates though, and hopefully will continue to be so. Review is based on 1.1 up to bad end and 1.21 for the rest.
Production wise, this game is a real mixed bag. It opens with a garbage title screen, standard difficulty select and a questionable intro which is weird. Later on though, it has some pretty bland areas mixed against some really cool looking ones with fancy lighting and other effects. Music and SFX generally fits, but didn't stand out as a problem or strong point either.
Platforming wise, lots of interesting stages and mechanics which keeps the game fun and interesting even when the design falters. Stages have solid identities and play into the metroidvania elements pretty well. Does its best when it follows the adventure formula since there are aspects which don't mix well with needly stuff.
Boss-wise, a little more mixed. Some of them were a real pain but they were pretty much all atleast interesting and unique to make them not boring.
Its also a bit easy to get lost in as an exploration based game and in-game doesn't do much to alleviate this problem so make sure to read the readme - it provides a fair bit of important information you won't find in game.
Overall, its fun. It is quite rough and the creator makes sure to warn you of it in the documentation, but I had a good time with almost all of it. The main game content was of a higher quality than the true end content on average for me, so I'd recommend going for that and then decide for yourself if you want to continue. If you like adventure games and don't mind a bit of a bumpy ride, give it a try.

A single screen of easy jtool needle. It has terrible input lag, and the window resizes itself and moves to the center of the screen every time you retry.
I really have no idea why this exists or was posted. At least the BGM was kind of good, for all 30 seconds of it I got to hear.

This is probably my favorite needle in the ftfa-inspired style.
The game's 9 screens long with 1 or 2 saves per screen. The harder saves for me were maybe a bit more at the second half.
