I've always found dotkid to be one of the easiest gimmicks to make fun. Going through really tight gaps and doing double diamonds for free is just cool! I've rarely been disappointed by dotkid needle, but there are only a couple uses of it that feel more interesting and memorable. Pointillism has absolutely crowned that list.
The game starts pretty slow, and even later on there are many screens that are pretty basic, and thus less interesting. But I think this is a game that deserves to be evaluated on its standout screens. And there are several standouts!
I think the very best screens are the ones that have some interesting visual aspect. These play into the "art" theme the most, and actually feel like they belong in this museum. These range from simple but artistically designed visuals, such as the very first screen and the four seasons one, to interesting visual gimmicks, such as many of the symmetry screens and the recursive labyrinth. Given the theming, I am a bit disappointed that the game didn't lean into this kind of screen more, as it feels like what I expect from an art themed game.
The game also has some cool gimmick screens. My favorite here was one of the final screens, that involved solving a sliding tile puzzle. Overall though, gimmick screens were generally more interesting than the vanilla screens, and something I wish the game used a bit more of.
I also quite liked the multi-screen paintings. I think the added space gives a lot of opportunities for interesting design, both visually and in terms of gameplay. The well screen was one of my favorites, the pathing through this one was just really fun.
Overall, Pointillism is a game with some masterfully done screens. This highlights elevate the game, making it one of the most interesting needle games I've seen. My biggest complaints are that the game didn't do the good stuff more! I felt many of the screens were too conservative, and didn't really feel at home with the art theme. However, I would still absolutely recommend this game to most needle fans! Seeing dotkid used in so many interesting ways was super fun.

Fangames.
you stand in the corner and pray you don't die to the two attacks. they both move so fast you can't react to them so it's just rng. it's a shitpost basically

Damn, what a fantastic trap game, even though I don't have the skill to beat it, I've seen multiple videos of it and I was genuinely amazed by how well made this was. It's unfortunate how this game was made in 2015, there hasn't been a fangame with so many creative traps since then. Either way, the only problem with it is that some bosses are a complete chore to beat. (Ahem... Lakitu) Aside from that though, it's pretty much perfect.

Neat trap game, has some creative traps but aside from that it's not really memorable. Though I'm really only giving it a high rating because I really like trap games. (Well, at least ones that are done well.) And that applies to this game, not bad at all.

This game is pretty off-putting at a glance, the presentation isn't the best, and the screen isn't exactly eye-candy. Despite that there's honestly some kinda interesting jumps, some things I haven't really seen before. Some of the jumps though are not very fun to do, and can be really inconsistent at times, which makes grinding these saves (especially the first one) a pretty exhausting experience since sometimes it just feels like you aren't improving at all. I think there is genuinely an audience who would have fun with this game but it's not for the faint of heart. Also I genuinely think some of the spike layouts and placements are kinda interesting looking even if it's sorta ugly, just something worth mentioning.

Окей это тот тип нидла который я не люблю играть. Тем не менее было приятно потыкать эту игру включив самую ебанутую в мире музыку на задний фон на последнем сейве (он занял больше всего хотя он легкий)))
