The difficulty balance seems off to me (maybe I just suck), and the jumps aren't fun to execute.

There are patterns that you'll probably die to on the first time, but aside from that this avoidance is free.

Oh boy, I don't know. It's a tough one. I know I was promised to be short, and I was promised to be chill. Some formed the proper mindset and knew how to appreciate it. I didn't. Not because I am promised a short experience with a nice design means I should like it. The style is very present, and hey, nice music choice there. But it is so painfully short. As a novice, it took me 12 minutes and 200 deaths. This means that a speedrun would finish it before you finish a sneeze. My ideal of "chilling" is going through a reasonably lengthy game. If it is short, it must provide the goods at least. This game didn't; the only strong aspect was the visuals and music, which you will enjoy for 10 minutes or less.
arzztt had the idea that the lack of length could be compensated with difficult needle, as there are some very precise jumps. So it correlates entirely negatively with my idea of a chill needle ride, unlike Minimal or Kaleidoscope, or even Indigo Needle, which are decent games. If this game was any longer and never changed its difficulty line (because it is not a curve; it is always the same difficulty, so there's no sense of progression either), I would be rating this with a higher difficulty, and maybe many of us too. Hasn't that happened to you before, or am I the only one? You feel a game is difficult and quite precise, but it is also short, so we don't really "feel" it's that difficult even though it really is. A good example is Lucien Needle. Same thing happens with long games, at least with me. Thenader's Neon games are lengthy, but have a consistent difficulty, and I always find myself rating them 10 points or more above the difficulty average of this site. Or maybe I just suck at needle.
I digress. Point is, my idea of chilling is much longer (not something really long, just longer than this) and with easier needle, instead of compacting difficulty in very few screens.
Sequel? Let's go. Hope this was fixed.

Short-ish trap-based needle and gimmicks adventure game consisting of four stages, with the last three featuring a boss. As for the bosses, the first is the hardest, the second one the easiest, and the last one is the middle one, for some reason. It is lazy in design and planning; the difficulty curve of the needle platforming is nice and traps are not a detriment for the game (one is particularly clever once I tried a skip and I did smile at how clever it was). Also each stage has great music, so if you wanna appreciate it, you must either stay still (pointless gameplay-wise) or simply not die. But wait, there are traps. Bummer. It kills the mood. Finally, there is no closure. Any boss could be the last one and it would be as anticlimactic as it already is. Heck, I wouldn't have minded an extra featuring a Regigigas for the feeling of a TRUE final boss; even Mysterious House and Fortress Returns did this better.
Visuals, for my liking, are horrendous for two of the stages (one of them making the needle difficult to see) and one is nice. Stage 1 doesn't count as it is the generic IWBTG intro.
Very forgettable adventure with some daring jumps, such as corners from various angles and a clear obsession with gates, so beginners better be prepared for a more challenging experience.
Not recommended, sadly.
