The game can be downloaded as a part of the game pack, Holocene Juveniliax.
10 screen needle game where the screens gradually get harder, with the gimmick of choosing a number
(1 to 10), which determines how many screens you have to do before the game ends. My rating is based on doing all 10 screens.
The needle design is unique, but at times it felt unpolished. I liked the music but the visuals were a bit painful to look at.
The difficulty curve is mostly stable from room 1 to 7. (difficulty: 10-65)
However the last 3 rooms were way harder.
Screen 8 starts with a hard save involving a questionable vstring-drop I could only beat with a low JC in a platform. The rest of the screen is free in comparison. (difficulty: 82)
Screen 9 is not bad, the last save is longer and harder than the others though. (difficulty: 84)
Screen 10 has a jump which I could only do with a mid-air low cancel, followed by a few precise jumps.The save after that one was the hardest in the game for me, 3 drops with short hops/JCs, a double 16px drop into a super awkward floating vine, landing on a tas ledge, with a final double jump invert to choke on. Good! The rest of the saves are, again, way easier.
There are secrets, but according to the readme, they are meaningless.
Rating for rooms 1-7: 6.7/10 65/100
These should be fun to do for most needle fans.
I would only recommend going further for needle masochists.

Pretty cool needle game where most of the jumps are neat. The only save i really struggled on is the second to last one.

Mostly uninspiring needle. The 3 minispike gate in the last screen was really unnecessary since most of the needle contain jumps that don't require stuff like 1F's. Right after that is a F jump and some corners without a save inbetween for good measure.

A "remastered" and nerfed version of "I Wanna Be A Brute Of A Man" with arguably nicer visuals (outside of the spikes), and easier albeit not much more fun needle design. I was expecting similar yet still standard platforming, but instead most of the nerfs involved slightly moving spikes from their original positions. The save balance is okay until the last stage where it immediately takes a hit on the save with a moving platform; that was the hardest save in the entire game minus the tower (which is not only the hardest section but by far the least fun).
Derf has made many good games, but this is not one I would recommend playing.

Great game for those wanting to get into or learn more about the Needle genre. Very well made fangame with solid level design, good music, and entertaining dialog. I'd find this hard to recommend to some people just because it can be very grindy at times, so you kind of have to be into that sort of thing going into this to get any enjoyment out of it. To those looking to challenge themselves with jumps they might not be comfortable with, this is a good place to learn and practice.

I think playing with different fangame resolutions could bring some really cool ideas to makers, except this one. The needle was really generic and boring, it uses basic engine tiles, the difficulty is unbalanced and overall, it's really unfun. I wouldn't recommend this game
