Slend's review summarizes the game pretty well. It is essentially just a basic needle / trap adventure game with some clear inspiration from k2 / k3.
The bosses are a bit boring, but they are decently fun regardless. The first boss is a basic cherry fight, the second boss is a basic guy fight, and the third boss is a basic avoidance. None of them are too hard though and aside from a few unreactable attacks in the avoidance (which i think is just normal for avoidances sadly ;-;) all of the attacks felt fair.
There are no gimmicks at all, except platforms on rare occasions. Most of the traps are quite bland (many many flying spikes) but some of them I did like.
The ex stage is just more needle. The ex boss is a nerfed version of k3's colonel.
I really like the fact that the game was on the easier side! Overall, a decent experience!

It's better if some spikes can be shown over saves.

I'll be honest, i went into this expecting a 3.5 game with a 6.6 rating because of people being nice knowing it was the maker's first game, but was surpised and delighted to know i was wrong.
Had fun from start to finish, and cant wait to see this dev's journey, i see great potential!

Cyber never really makes needle, and here we see exactly why. you get the same air here as you do in his avoidances — you can tell he’s trying to do something interesting. the key factor here is that Cyber doesn’t use any gimmicks in this game and exclusively sticks to triggers. it’s clear that Cyber gives himself a ton more creative liberty avoidance-wise, not needle-wise (or at least, not in this game). there’s the signature blank white Cyber title screen, there’s a screen of vanilla needle and then some weird triggers. the needle is strange and utilizes uncomfortable trigger placement. the 2nd screen is kinda fun since it’s rather straightforward, and the final save is by far the hardest. there’s an align-dependant forced 10f in there, I suppose that’s something to watch out for. the visuals are kind of a mood, I don’t really hate them

plain, difficult and unbalanced needle. game is rather hard to play due to the painfully irritating engine that has the fabled resize bug. I see this as a massive red flag when it comes to any game, needle or otherwise. I fully believe there is no singular bug in fangames that is more annoying and straining than the resize bug. engine complaints aside, the needle itself has two hard jumps and some filler. the 2nd jump is very hard and requires something like a 17f 3p 3f to work properly. there’s some leeway to the setup but it’s still quite a hard jump. the hourglass is undeniably based though. there’s no music or visuals to speak of — everything is left as default

fun precision game with a few not-so-difficult cancels and simple maneuvers. for how “generic jump”-oriented this maker’s needle tends to be, it actually results in a surprisingly good precision game at the end of the day. generally it’s my opinion that NicKel is better at making precision than consistency. last save is surprisingly easy and there aren’t any standout difficult saves. in fact, I even first tried one of the saves near the top of the screen. the tileset is pretty nice and it’s a fun game overall
