It seems that wiki zip archive is completely fucked up (repair utilities aren't working) and game can be only downloaded from some questionable chinese sites. Game itself is pretty fun, although some precise endsave needle jumps feel unnecessary, and one of the bosses is too hard imo.

I Wanna Shiver is a 50 floor needle collab with a lot of popular names behind it. 10 Makers each supplying a 5 room stage, with the last one being much greater in scale. Each stage is very distinctive and presents itself with a different style representative of the maker.
Taking a deeper look at the game, there's generally two aspects to consider in a needle game - the level design and the production. The production quality from an aesthetics perspective is phenomenal. As you'd expect with PlasmaNapkin being the lead producer, his technical skill is very apparent from the getgo, and stays that way throughout from start to finish whether its bonus touches in other makers stages to the gorgeous final stage. There's a bunch of neat features which do something rarely offered such as the double jump indicator and the shoe color switching. However, its a little inconsistent as its also missing basic functions like pausing or audio options - nothing grievous by any means. I also found the inconsistency with the saves somewhat tedious, as there were stages with save zones that worked great but others had touch saves which frequently limited your save zones - it was never terrible but it was annoying at times. The unfortunate part production wise for me was the hub. It looked neat, its obviously technically impressive for anyone who has spent time in gamemaker but its functionally terrible - its incredibly slow and difficult to get around and very awkward to navigate if you actually want to get back to anywhere. Since the game is purely linear though this doesn't really matter much though (which sadly makes it feel like a lot of wasted effort).
From a level design standpoint, its mostly terrific. Since this is fundamentally the most important part of a needle game this really is what makes the game amazing. The first 9 stages each have their own flair and have great variety of design and progress well (though I can't say I liked them all, they were all easy to appreciate the creativity and design that went in). It caps it off with a much larger, more expansive final stage with some amazing visuals and creative, complex design. Unfortunately this stage is also substantially more difficult than the rest of the game and feels kind of out of place, with long strings of precise segments. It ended up feeling like a totally different game and I would've much preferred it to not feel like it lost continuity.
Nonetheless, this is a needle game that is absolutely worth playing which show cases a ton of different styles. As a fan of continuity and consistency I feel like it misses a few marks but its minor flaws are easily overlooked and anyone looking for a moderate-advanced needle game will find something that suits their tastes.
