Well, this game was made in 2012. It maybe was good, but now it isn't actual for 2017. But I liked the idea replaying the whole wneedle world filled with traps. No last screen though :/

It is quite long and difficult but very doable.
Has a few gimmicks throughout and is very well-made.
Sometimes the jumps can be super annoying and usually there's the one jump that's significantly harder then anything else. But hey, I finished it!

Rating doesn't include extra content, and is based on version 1.21.
Interesting needle game consisting of five stages, each of which is themed on a specific medley game. The catch here is that the entire game is played inside title screens, while the rest of the game's screen is covered by a random background. These title screens work exactly like any those you can see in almost any medley game: Quickly showing up on the top right corner of the screen, then slowly fading away, the difference being that, instead of a game's title screen, it contains either, a needle trials screen or a joke avoidance (The stage's "boss"). The first stage works as an introduction to the core gimmick of the game, featuring straight needle only, and then the next stages introduce their own minor gimmicks, like water, dotkid segments and facescrapper segments, the last stage reuniting the previous stages' gimmicks with its own. It's a decent amount of variety that keeps the game fresh, despite its relatively extensive length.
Additionally, it also features achievements, if you want to go for those (None that sounds very exciting to go for, but they are optional anyway), and a low-nausea mode for people that want to play the needle but don't feel very excited about the core gimmick (Constantly paying attention to a screen that keeps scrolling in and out all the time isn't very healthy to the eyesight, after all), two extras that expand the game in different ways (One by amplifying the audience it caters to, and the other one by increasing the length of the game with optional content). And finally, I really like how many references each stage has towards their theme game, it shows an amount of effort you don't see a lot of in meme games like this (Or even among more serious fangames).
With that being said, it does have a few drawbacks. The main gimmick of the game makes the player rush through every single room, but the minor gimmicks of each stage usually require some time for the player to get used to them, a time that the game doesn't give you. The facescrapper gimmick, particularly, takes quite a while to get used to, due to its weird hitbox. The result is the feeling of frustration and the lack of fun that quite a few players have experienced. There isn't much that could be done to avoid that while keeping the game's roots intact, but it's still a drawback nevertheless, and a pretty big one. Some minor drawbacks are the wonky difficulty curve (Quite a few individual saves that are way harder than the average difficulty of the stage they belong in) and the somewhat loud death sound some stages have (Namely the ones that use Kamilia 3's death sound, which is already awful by itself).
It's a pretty nice needle game overall. Fun platforming with a decent amount of variety, an interesting main gimmick and a handful of neat minor details. The core gimmick makes it way grindier than it should be, but if you don't mind that, you probably will have a good time (Specially if you know the games it references). Would recommend.

Rating based on the patch Scribble Notes, which fixes restarting music and removes a lot of the traps, making the experience a lot better. To put it bluntly, this game is spectacular and deserves so much praise. Geezer has already said what I wanted to say so read his review.

This game doesn't deserve all the hate it gets because of who specifically made it. So many people were probably rooting for this game to be bad. It is, but it isn't offensive by any stretch of the imagination. I hope Endog takes the feedback from these reviews into consideration and at least turns his next game into a 1.5 out of 10. With that being said, this game is still really bad, but I could sense some improvement in the level design by the end.

Platforming was decent for 8 screens, but the boss was so horrible I gave up on beating it.
Basically, you have to collect 4 yellow coins to shoot once at the big blue circle boss while dodging the bouncing blue circles AND dodging the boss's attacks at once, so it's super easy to die even before you even shoot the boss one time. (Some sort of shield is protecting the boss and it disappears once when you collect the 4 coins and when you shoot the boss, the shield appears again and you have to repeat this 10 times.)
This is a very old game (2011.11.29) and I downloaded it long time ago (2012.9.28) so I decided to review it since this game is now impossible to download. (Creator's site disappeared.) Wouldn't recommend anyway.
