Short needle game. Fun, somewhat generic. Nice visuals, nice music, annoying death sound. There isn't too much to say about it. Not sure if I would recommend.

Fun fangame that turned out to be longer than I expected. Starts out with three fairly lengthy stages that you can play in any order (Each stage made by one of the makers), then it becomes linear. There are lots of different gimmicks, most of them used in really interesting ways.
Chinsaku's stage is divided into multiple smaller stages, each of them with its own gimmick. The gimmicks are mostly simplistic, but very well used. The boss was a bit too easy compared to the other ones. Nobebo's stage uses only a single gimmick, but it's a really creative one. The magic spells are mostly easy to execute quickly, which allows them to be efficiently used in the boss fight. Reshigia's stage is a bit too short, but it's nice anyway.
The linear stages introduce newer gimmicks that are also interesting, although some of them are overused thanks to unnecessary length. The bosses follow a really interesting concept, although they are much easier than the previous ones due to their concept.
Great visuals, cool musics with an annoying death sound that kinda of ruins it. There's an interesting story going on, and you can choose between english and japanese, although the english translation is terrible.
It's a really well-made game for the most part. Would recommend.

A really nice 3 stage little adventure game. Each stage has it own theme, traps, needle, and VVVVV, and is followed up by a boss. Difficulty is pretty good through the entire game making the game accessible to players of all skill levels. The bosses are short and sweet, like the game in general. The production is crisp and the platforming is really nice, specifically in the VVVVV themed stage which I liked a lot. Wish it were longer, but it's great while it lasts.

The needle stays interesting and feels fresh most of the way through the game due to the use of mini-spikes and using more than just the 32, and even more than just the 16px grid at times. You will see some jumps you've never seen before.
The saves flow very well for the most part. The visuals are usually great, and the music is fantastic throughout - all the tracks set a great mood.
My biggest complaints are:
The backgrounds on some stages are very dark, and make the player's footing hard to see, which isn't good for a needle game.
There were a number saves that had an annoying/meat-grinding first jump, which made the rest of the save less enjoyable.
While I enjoyed most of the gimmicks, the use of water here wasn't very good.
Overall: Excellent game. The level design is great throughout. bmxbandit brings variety by making sure the stages don't drag on too long, and he really knows how to set the tone with his visuals and music.
I also very much appreciate the fact that you can skip bosses, since I'm not a boss player. This is something I really love and wish showed up more often.

Very cute short game. A mix of standard and nonstandard needle, and good use of dotkid.
Using the actual hitbox as the character sprite is unique and cool.
The boss fight(s?) were really easy. At the end I found myself wishing there was more.

Easy Needle; Easy Avoidance. Meant to be something in the sort of a joke(?). Despite this, production value is substandard, as are most games that resemble this kind of esotericism. Low recommendation.

Two screens of uninteresting platforming followed by two equally uninteresting avoidances. Since it's a joke game, the joke side should be better developed, too. There isn't too much to say about it. Wouldn't recommend.

Great game that had lots of cool gimmicks and a unique style to the game. Platforming was pretty cool although the bosses were quite hit and miss, some were great and some were just meh. Was quite a lot of fun overall :)
