Atrocious. I will briefly say why later but I must highlight something first.
I normally give the rating of the easier difficulty in all of my entries and then specify the difficulty of a harder mode in the review. Nevertheless, that is not the story here. You first walk into the game, and encounter not only astoundingly easy needle (consider a difficulty of 15 until you clear it), but the most bizarre and nonsensical level design ever. There are "skips", but then there are paths that you can take that have absolutely no danger. Why? Why is there a gate in front of me that I can easily jump over it? This is acid.
Then you clear the game with, most probably, 5 deaths or less, and you scratch your head, because it took you 3 minutes.
Well, this is not the game.
Extra is NOT unlocked by making the game on Nonono mode (aka Impossible). It is unlocked by going into the walls of the clear screen, particularly the right wall, climbing up to the text and entering the "G". Surprise! You stumble upon the same screens, but buffed; it turns out the game wasted your time with a prototype of what was actually the true game: TAS jumps, planes, corners, diamonds, diagonals and many 16-pixel gap drops. The most generic way to make a game harder has this fangame as a textbook example. The design still remains bad, although a wee bit more interesting. This is not saying much at all, since the game is bad by essence. Music is ok-ish and doesn't suit the mood at all, the background, although colorful, looks poorly designed and it actually resets(!), the bottom of the screen is black, blocking your view of The Kid's shoes to calculate your align and the tileset design cannot be seen sometimes because of the brightest spots of the animated background. Needle and visual design are a real pain.
Also, in this new section, the curve is such a mess that can barely be described, and save placement is endlessly head-scratching. The most notorious screen is the one I uploaded: no saves. The next screen after that (or two after that, can't recall and I just barely played the game lol) makes you go through to corners in succession. You hit a save. Then you make a diagonal and there's a save. My jaw dropped. What was world thinking?
Not recommended unless you're an incurable completist like me. I have no remedy, but even the fangames I rate this low, I somewhat enjoy playing them. I like fangames in general, so it's all on me.

One of the worst entries not only in the """series""", but in the more popular games of needle overall. Some jumps are ok, the rest are bad. Design is very lazy and it is very short. It really isn't worth playing, I'm sad to say, because the concept of a series of the planets of our neighborhood really excited me since the beginning. There have been a couple of decent games, however. Opt for them instead unless you want to kill time with fairly simple needle and hear an interesting track that I'm totally not downloading right now (I am).

A not so long and unfortunately disappointing entry in the series without the visual charm of Venus or its length. The game is full of questionable and exceedingly repetitive jumps culminating in a chase sequence that sort of redeems the game, but is also itself ruined by a very precise jump in the middle (I am even forgiving there is a TAS jump right before it simply because the game does give you the best align for it). It's too short to be enjoyed, the visuals are too ugly to enjoy the background (which is actually nice now that I REFLECT on it after finishing the game) and jumps are nothing special: just buffs for making the game "longer". There is literally a screen with four identical jumps in succession involving horizontal gates (please someone PM me for telling me the name of the jump where there are two sideways gates looking at each other enclosed by blocks, and you must get past them with small jumps).
Not recommended. There are better games in this ""series"". Good music tho.

I'm extremely biased here because I think trap games are extremely boring, but the platforming and traps didn't take up a lot of the game. The boss fights are basically all just massive cutscenes with a few inputs here and there. They're incredibly boring. Dracula fight was alright though.
