A neat concept for a puzzle game, where you have to figure out where the player died. Unfortunately, it doesn't really succeed as a puzzle game due to the wide range and unpredictable nature of blood splatters. There's usually a few candidates for which spike was the killer, and there's no real way to narrow it down other than guessing.

Renex's technical skill is on clear display with the fancy death animation and the signature smooth apples. However, the actual needle is pretty plain, with a lot of named jumps and otherwise just uninteresting needle. The difficulty balance is quite bad as well, I felt like the first jump in the second save was the hardest thing in the game by a good margin. Overall, there's no real reason to play this unless you're curious what Renex would make if forced into needle.

I love seeing the humble origins of one of my favorite makers. The game shows a strong sense of style, but otherwise is pretty lacking. I do like that each screen is a new idea, it makes the game more memorable despite the short runtime. However, the needle is pretty rough and the traps are mostly annoying. The boss is a joke, which is a bit disappointing. Overall though, I do like the aesthetics, and I'm glad this style would later evolve to better games.

Literally just two screens of needle (readme claims there are 3 screens lol). First screen is generic jumps with no save blockers. Second screen tries a bit harder, but is still uninteresting.

Okay 32px 'ftfa-like' game, visually not very interesting & a bit too faithful to where nothing is really brought to the table, menu being guyrock and clearscreen being a bit boring makes the game not too enticing. Gameplay is actually great for the first 2 saves (out of 3), I really enjoyed playing the first save, the challenge of the save is mainly condensed into the corner to the final water jump, and all of those got incredibly consistent very quickly and felt quite nice to play, even the water jump which is somewhat questionable. I found it to be a quite fun save and had a very linear experience with it, pretty nice. Screen 2 is the easiest out of the 3 by a very large margin, there's not much to say other than it wasn't problematic and had some cool jumps in it. No complaints and enjoyed it aswell. Save 3 is where my issues arise, I just can't get behind the top left jump and a few other questionable ones. The 2nd half of this screen is great, I did the 1fbh 21f fj strat for the final jump and found it quite a lot of fun, 15f was fun, etc, it's just the first half of this save is infuriating as all hell. The water jumps are certainly unique, but I don't love it, the jump into them feels a bit awkward and un-intuitive, it just doesn't really click well and it doesn't help that it's not really a ftfa-like jump either, so it's kind of an outlier. The prominent water jump of screen 1 also had this same problem, but I found that one actually enjoyable and very consistent to pull off, this wasn't. This includes the djump timing which just feels a bit off & having it before the Demonic turnaround jump that effectively acts as a sphincter in the top left is just a back to back evil combo. The djump after the water plane is also a bit weird to me but I didn't really spend much time checking if there was better strats for good vstring or not. First jump is fine, corner is fine, jump up with the water is awkward and irritating. Overall found Screen 3 to be a bit harder than screen 1, likely due to it being a lot more unbearable.
Worth noting this game had insane performance issues and a weird fullscreen shader problem (or whatever it's called), one of the kids eyes was 6px wide and while debugger fixed it to an extent it still persisted but as 2px, really weird. Alongside this the game had a diabolical ~6f of input delay before I extracted the exe & used debugger, likely some win11 stuff since this engine on studio 1.49 is always incredibly odd for my hardware, but be warned, I found this game to have a more troublesome engine than ones used for Crimson Needle or Seven Trials. This also exemplified me finding screen 3 very frustrating as 2 inputs on 1 frame & 1f movements are very inconsistent and weird. Play with caution if your on a win11 laptop I guess.

Not actually part of the Venus-inspired "solar system series". It's just a few screens of block needle. Some of it is overly precise, and the maze at the end relied too much on annoying squished bonk jumps. I appreciate experimental design, but this ended up just not being that interesting.
