Save jumping. You can guess where this is headed. It leads to stuff like saving at spikes/cherries, or at places where saving again is impossible. It forces you to keep your fingers on R, the arrow keys, the shift and the Z at the same time, and to use them effectively. It gets you worn out of continous rounds of trying to reach the same save over and over again, without suceeding even once.
If you want to play this, you should back-up your save at least every time you get past a screen (If the screen is hard, back-up even more). Also, be aware that this involves a lot of speed and forces you to use the saves very precisely. But I think that the best option is not even touching this game. Highly not recommended.

Not too bad of a needle game. No down-to-the-bottom generic jumps, but nothing particularly new here, the visuals are decent, the difficulty curve is somewhat good and the save placement is quite unforgiving. The align placement is fair, at least. Wouldn't recommend, although it isn't bad at all.

For a needle game that seems to be made by someone who isn't very fond of needle games (At least, that's the vibe you get from the clear screen), this is a fairly good work. The music is good and the death sound exists, but it's low enough to not bother anyone. Visuals are decent, too.
But getting down to the game itself...The way the stages are designed isn't bad, it uses a few triggers (Not anything that could really be called a trap, it's more like the game sometimes makes you kill yourself) and stuff like that, but the jumps themselfs are just...Meh. Gate jumps. Corners. Diagonals, more diagonals, another corner. Gate jump again. A one-block-high gate jump now, and another diagonal. And another gate. Oh, look, another corner. And so the game goes on.
Yeah, it's that creative. Plus, the save placement is horrible. The game looks good, but...Wouldn't recommend, it's not very worthy gameplay-wise.

A 3-stage fangame that features a couple unusual gimmicks, and a few usual ones as well. Aside from the darkness one, the gimmicks are fairly good and decently used. There are plenty of generic traps, but there are a few unusual ones as well, so you will never know exactly what is going to hit you next. The problem is that these traps appear in big amounts, so it gets tedious after a short while. There are a few basic needle jumps as well, but nothing serious, just casually placed corners and stuff like that.
The bosses are a bit creative, but I wouldn't put them very high gameplay-wise. The avoidance was a bit fun, I guess. I don't know. I wouldn't really recommend this game, but there's no harm on trying it if you want to.

Nice needle game. Has a few interesting jumps, and the visuals are decent. The difficulty curve is all over the place, though, and the peak of that difficulty are some particularly annoying jumps. Save placement can be quite unfair, too. There are better needle games to play, but there's nothing wrong with this one, so you might want to try it as well.

I'm not going to rate this game, but this genre of needle games is one of the biggest cancers that infests the wiki.

Updating my review now that I've given it quite a thorough playthrough.
The game is a needle based around all of the basic gimmicks. What's not generic about it is the difficulty increase which is similar to a parabola with x being the stage number.
When you first start off on Stage 1, you're given some pretty hard needle. It's not too hard, and you can pass it easily if you have good needle skill.
Stage 2 is harder and there are a fair amount of frame perfect jumps scattered through the area. It'll take a while for some to complete the area, but normally not more than an hour.
Stage 3 is where the difficulty increase really starts to become noticed. All the jumps become very hard, and the nature of the saves is very fitting of a hard needle. You'll need extensive needle skill to complete this stage.
Stage 4 is even harder than the third one, but luckily not by a lot. There are many saves which require insanely specific frame-perfect movements (Don't even get me started on the drop save). If you can beat the third stage, though, you can beat this one.
Stage 5 is where the game gets even spicier. The platforming becomes less of a needle and more of a grindquest, where there are some platforms which make it unnaturally hard. If I were to compare this stage to another fangame, I'd compare it to Fly the Far Away, which is surprisingly harder. I haven't taken the time to complete it yet.
I do not know much about Stage 6, except that it is a very long stage and requires yet another insanely long grind. Racing with a platform is the least of your worries if you actually have intentions of beating the game, though.
Stage 7 is uncannily hard. Every last save is insanely hard, and there are specific ones which would likely destroy any basic advanced needle player. If you have any hopes of completing this area, you're going to need to be skilled to the extent that even the hardest needles would be manageable in one sitting. The difficulty difference between this area and the previous ones is absolutely terrifying. There's still one last save if you make it through here, though, and it's even more painful than this one.
Stage 8 is a gigantic platform segment. You're stood on a gigantic constantly rising platform, and the room ahead of you is just as gigantic. There are multiple multi-frame perfect segments all throughout this ride, and even a single segment can take an unnaturally long time to complete. Imagine it like doing a save of 20 inverts, except instead of inverts, you're on a hellish platform ride through a terrifying apple maze and then some absolutely evil diagonals, with the cherry on top being a final pixel-perfect squish. If you can complete this, you have cleared the game and you have cleared the ranks becoming not a skilled needle player, nor a needle master. You'll have become a needle god if you beat this.

Nice needle game. Has plenty of generic jumps mixed with some unfair save placement, but it's surprisingly fun. Visuals are nice, but although I like the music, I don't think it was the most fitting for the stage. Same for the boss, the boss was good and fun, but the music used is more fitting for a stage than for a boss.
Either way, it's a nice needle game. Would recommend.
