Красивая песня, хорошие визуальные эффекты, но плохой геймплей.
В этом лёгком авоиденсе автор умудрился иногда даже давать инстагибы (в зависимости от рандома). Все атаки, где скорость выше чем медленная, сделаны быстрыми неуместно.

Needle Hatena is a well produced needle collab with a variety of makers in terms of both experience and styles. You can tackle the stages in any order you wish, keep your progress if you leave a stage and to my understanding don't even need to beat all the stages to reach the ending/clear, so if there's one that doesn't sit well with you then you can just shuffle onto that sweet credits stage.
I found some real highlights in here. Princeoflight's stage has some really usage of catharsis water and outline platforming. I do wonder if it might've looked more pleasing had the catharsis water not been blocks, but maybe more defined shapes to fit the really clean aesthetic that was going on, but it remains a favourite regardless. Egg's stage also has a really nice atmosphere and well flowing platforming between a few screens, which was very reminiscent of Kermit platforming for me.
Some stages didn't really feel quite as inspired. Starz0r's stage in particular felt full of mostly very generic jumps and limited to corridor platforming, in a Mario tileset which actually felt weirdly fitting for once (usually Mario tilesets and needle don't go well together for me, but this was an exception). With needle collabs, the stages that do different things and put effort into standing out with a gimmick or a unique style will always be the ones I end up remembering (for better or for worse). Chrisay's stage is one I was undecided on how much I enjoyed it due to the learny and not necessarily obvious nature of progressing through it, although I respected the design and effort put into it.
The game also gives you a few extra stages/screens after passing the credits. Not every maker has an extra, although there's some fun stuff in the ones you're given. Prince's extra again was probably my favourite of the bunch, utilising some cool manoeuvres in a memorable style. If there's one negative I encountered in the extra, it's that the easter egg in Kittygame's extra is obnoxious. Loud volume "funnies" will never be amusing to me, and easter eggs can be cute or amusing without needing to cram it down your eardrums to fool you into thinking that because something is unpleasantly loud, it's then funny.
The main takeaway though is that it's a very nicely produced needle collab (you even unlock hats!) with a variety of stages. Some stages feel lacking in creativity or individuality, but nothing felt like it was detracting from the overall game and the difficulty never got in the way of the design. I'd look forward to a Hatena 2 if it's ever a consideration!
