mega old needle game, so old its made on the nekoron engine. this game is diverse among players, or something. idk or really care, but I thought this game was pretty good. most of the needle was fun, and since I was dumb I didn't really use many aligns (although I used one for the very last save, which is kinda cringe tbh). tileset is great, reminds me of sunspike. I had fun with it and if you're less shit at needle than I am you'll probably breeze through this game (its pretty short as well).
basically its good. I like it.

A nice little needle maze. Well designed to not make you feel lost while still leaving you a little unsure how far you've gone most of the time. It has nice QoL features like blanking out saves and in general is just well designed needle. There's one really awkward screen transition bit, but outside of that pretty much all the transitions are really well done to be fair and reasonable, which is great.
Worth playing if you want a nice pretty quick needle maze.

Super cool game containing 4 bosses, each of which give you a different power up to use against the others, ranging from freezing time to temporary invincibility . Once you've beaten the 4 bosses, the final boss remains testing you of all of your acquired skills, which I found fun and exciting. The main problem with this game is it's lack of explanation on how to use the power ups that you are given. You have to use asdf for the power ups, and for s in particular you have to die, and then press s in order to use it. Also for the final boss you have to learn how to even damage the boss which took me a while. If you got someone to ghost the controls to you then it's a pretty fun game. Recommended to people who like bosses.

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.
