Didn't really like most of the stages in this, unfortunately. Guess I might as well try to review all of them, though. Let's go in order from least favorite to favorite.
Fate: Just generally uncomfortable to play. All of the saves on the last screen were particularly bad and felt like they weren't playtested at all. Not satisfying to beat and made my arm hurt in the process. The tileset is also kind of painful to stare at.
Nader: Never really been a big fan of Nader's needle and this isn't an exception. It's way easier than the rest of the game and doesn't really belong in this collaboration either way.
Kady: Honestly most of the actual platforming felt pretty unreasonable and was only not a chore to play because of relatively short saves. Everything in this stage was the embodiment of "once is enough" for me.
Stonk: Goes way overboard with the gimmicks to the point where it loses its identity and feels fairly repetitive, but it's decent enough to actually play. If you hate water 3 and vines you're probably gonna hate this though, it's very jtool-y throughout.
Inferno: I normally hate inferno needle but this one was actually pretty fun. Jumps felt more reasonable and it was overall better balanced than most of the stuff I've played from him. Wouldn't mind more like this.
YoYo: There are some truly gross jumps here and there, but it had a nice difficulty progression and didn't go overboard with gimmicks like most of the other stages. The last screen was very fun.
Kale: Easily the best part of the game for me. I always love Kale's needle and this was no exception. Save placement was spot on and every jump felt fun and intriguing. The troll at the end is actually hilarious.
Overall it's not terrible or anything but unless there's an author you particularly like in the line-up you should probably just skip this and play Shiver instead, as far as needle collab games go.

Good beginner game with two areas and bosses and charming visuals. The game has two difficulties you can choose from, Medium and Hard. Choosing hard gives you less saves, more spikes and makes the bosses a little bit harder but it unlocks a extra boss if you make it to the end. It's a worm thing that you saw as a trap before entering the first boss and it reminds me of classic horizontal shooters like Gradius. Pretty fun boss even when it's just pattern. Would recommend for newcomers.

The best Fun game I've seen (after I Wanna Be the Boshy). The music is perfect, because of what you want to play more. Another game is considered a crossover on my favorite game, which I passed until the end. The game is certainly not so difficult, but there are places where you can stop. In General, I advise everyone to play this game, because it is gorgeous.

Short but fun adventure game. There are some traps and 2 easy bosses. Visuals are pretty good.

If you play on hard mode and death<10 after beating the game, you can go to extra boss. The extra boss is easy as well.

Short 3 screen needle game.
Music is annoying and repetitive and the idea of splitting the killer sprites could offer something interesting but the vast majority of the difficulty comes from jumps are basically just generic jumps that look slightly different.

Most of what I could say has already been said, so I wont indulge on it too much, but the game has a really sweet ambience, the puzzles, the platforming and bosses were pretty stellar (apart from the first phase of the final boss, which is admittedly kinda shit) and it's overall the kind of stuff I want to see more of.
Its good, go play it already.
