Very average game overall.
Crysis makes me think of diverse because it starts with a bad and generic trap area but hide some variety underneath. The main difference with diverse is that this game does mostly things wrong.
After the shitty entrance, there is a gravity beams area which is good and at the end a boss randomly chosen between 3. Then there is a lava area which is not bad but nor good tho, same for the next b/w area. And then comes the icy area. I HATE ice, it's the most stupid, frustrating and uninteresting gimmick I have seen. After there is a decent cave story area and then comes the boss rush. A 15 boss boss rush. Probably one of the best part of the game because even if most of them wasn't espacially well-made or anything, the game doesn't force you to fight all of them but instead you have to kill a certain amount (I don't remember how much exactly, probably around half) so you can just fight the one you like. The final area is a long VVVVVV stage and easily the worst I have seen in a fangame, mainly because that's not how physics work in the original game. The final boss could have been quite good but is ruined by 2 things: he can do the same attack in a row and that's really annoying when this dude decides to spam the ball attack; and the fact that the more you deal damage to him, the less is the time between two attacks. At the end there is a thousand projectiles on the screen and that's ridiculous when you combine it with the first drawback.
Also, I don't know why but there is a huge death count on every single screen.
Finally, the restart button doesn't work while you are alive and that's really annoying and a waste of time when you have to wait for being killed.
I'm not saying that the game is truly bad, but I think its really overrated.

Relies a bit too much on full jumps but is a visually interesting concept which has been expanded upon by Syfactor and other makers in games that have come out since.

This game just drags and drags and drags. It never feels like it ends. I'd rather have a bunch of shorter, consistently decent needle, than 20 screens per stage with a couple saves that outright suck. I did enjoy parts of the game but I was so tired and bored of it by the end that I wanted to move on to something else and I probably should have.

Was a solid romp of very simple trigger and a bit of gimmicks like catharsis water. Bosses weren't always great but were simple and easy.

Enjoyable overall if you like short precise saves. Can serve as a good introduction to this facet of needle.
