Mostly fun needle-trap fangame on the vein of Rukito's older games (SSR, GR, PYF), but without any of the stuff that ruins those (Invisible spikes, useless traps, bad use of platforms/water/vines, etc.), just the inventive design that mixes needle, traps that also work as obstacles and a couple basic gimmicks like gravity inversion, water and platforms. The third save in the second screen is absolutely awful, but that's one bad save in the entire game. Very simplistic, but not really bad visuals, nice music, no death sound. It's pretty short, too, consisting of only 4 screens.
It's a pretty fun Rukito-ish fangame that doesn't really look like any other of the genre. Would recommend.

To be honest the main reason I decided to play this game was because of the Umineko theme and the game itself seemed to be around my skill range. That said I was pleasantly surprised to find that for the most part, Witch's Tower is an exceptional game.
The basis of what makes a good needle game is interesting and unique jumps that you need to take a minute to look at to figure out how to best approach it, and for the most part this game is successful in that. Pretty much all saves had at least 1 jump that I needed a moment to think about, but once solved, it wasn't too hard to input the correct key sequences. The best segments were those that needed you to figure out how to best save your double jump (generally those involving vines and water). Additionally, part way through some of the maps become interconnected which is always welcome, and the visual design itself was very pleasing. I didn't really enjoy the music in stage 1+2, but with stage 3 and beyond it vastly improved (yes I know stage 1 had Umineko music, but it was a track that got old fast).
Although there is plenty good with Witch's Tower there are several things which brought it down. Namely, the major problem is save balance. For a game that is seemingly intending to be ~60 difficulty (and the majority of saves are around here), there are several segments that felt incredibly easy (with 1 even being in stage 5), along with a few segments that are way over-tuned. In fact, you go from one of the easiest saves in the game 5-3-2 (Stage, Screen, Save) to one of the hardest 5-4-1. Likewise, 5-5-2 is also out of whack compared to everything before it and an easy fix to the jump after the F jump would make it much more manageable.
Other problems included the addition of a filler choke jump to the end of almost every save and some extraneous jump platforms that actually made it harder if you tried to get to them (possibly a design choice to fill the room?). Additionally, I didn't really like the dildo spikes that become introduced in Stage 4 which caused me to find the first half of the game much more enjoyable (although the very last save was great). That said these secondary problems are minor and don't detract too much from the quality of the game itself, the main problem is the difficulty scaling, other than that it is a very enjoyable experience and I hope to see more from this creator.

It's okay. First stage is similar to most of their first stage with fun traps and the kid size gimmick that's in a lot of ユーリ's games. First boss is okay, but becomes invisible and you have to watch where it is based off some moving spikes on the screen edges. Second stage is questionable and has some pretty annoying saves and is pretty forgettable, second boss is a literal joke. Third stage is the best needlewise and visualwise, final boss is really boring and got stuck in a wall like three different times when i fought it. Wouldn't reccommend unless you're bored.
