For: Chill Needle
Great little needle game which manages to make some creative needle within the corridor genre. Everything seems like it'd be hard, but it's just easy enough that you feel slick and skilled while pulling it all off, but you don't have to put in too much effort for that feeling. Visuals are nice as well.

Rating include extra, difficulty doesn't.
Great needle with minimalist but clean visuals. Excepting a few rough spots, the flow of the game is pretty good and jumps are satisfying. Extra is harder than the main game but is still fun. Saves could have been on the ground tho.
Would recommend.

For: I Wanna Wave
I Wanna Wave is far too short for its own good. The needle is very nice and the visuals are interesting enough if a bit vague, there could have been at least a bit more here. As it stands, this is merely a good game, nothing more.
The title screen is excellent and promises much, but those promises aren't really met. I would love a needle game with vaporwave aesthetics though.

For: I wanna qowulu 100
Qowulu 100 acts both as a dedication of love to the creator's girlfriend and a testament to the creative abilities of sunla. I expected typical Sunla design, maze-like stuff and generally excellent pathing. I was even ready for some multi-level mazes. I was not ready for the entire game to be one big maze, nor was I ready for this maze to be intricately woven such that you would find yourself going from floor 61 to floor 1 in one move; I especially wasn't ready for this maze to have any sort of difficulty curve, let alone a damn good one.
All of these things continue to astound me even now as I write this review. The needle design is more or less average, if I'm honest, but it's almost entirely irrelevant; it's the cherry on top that the needle design isn't awful, in fact. As is the case with other sunla games, the name of the game is pathing, and if you don't enjoy excellent pathing, then you won't like this game. Half my enjoyment of this game was simply marveling at the design, wondering how someone could ever put this together at all, let alone making it feel smooth and natural to explore. I felt like a damn cartographer charting his way through a foreign land, remembering all the landmarks I passed through on my way to the end. What's even more astounding is that there is a clear path from beginning to end. The times where I felt lost or unsure of where I was meant to go were on me; if you pay attention, then you would be able to go through this game without a moment of thought.
One thing missing from typical Sunla games are the skips; though they are there, one gets this terrifying notion that should you ever go for one, you'll get lost in the maze that is Qowulu forever. Anything I say about the clarity of the main path is entirely null and void should you venture off that path in an attempt to speed up the process. Furthermore, if the saves didn't become transparent once you used them, I would have been lost forever. Finally, making them S saves is a decision I finally agree upon here as someone who enjoys spamming the shoot button for no particular reason. There's also almost never any situation in which it matters that I have to be directly on the save in order to save.
Qowulu is a brilliant game, one that's well worth playing at any skill level.
