Game is bleh. If you're gonna play it use a guide. Boring and generic platforming with a couple kinda interesting boss fights.

Two portals leading to joke rooms involving fake diamond jumps. Read the "readme", didn't change much of my opinion about this. Acknowledging this as a joke doesn't make it much more of a game, after all. I guess it might be funny for some people, but to me it was just a waste of time. Wouldn't recommend.

This is an interesting production. It clearly has effort put into it and has solid production but to some extent I feel like it falls short of what it ended to do. However, while doing so it achieves enough to still be a very good game worth playing.
As a gimmick needle game, its great - the platforming is mostly well balanced and there's plenty of neat gimmicks to learn and interact with and they're fairly well explored. The aesthetics are very clean and polished and the extras (the light story elements and bonus sequences) were entertaining.
The criticism then is that as an adventure game it really falls short. There's no feeling of journeying through an area - every transition is just portal from room to room. The room visuals while well polished (between Wookie's varied backgrounds and his technically excellent seamless blocks) don't feel very lifelike and there's no real change in environment room to room. Also, the skips largely bypass gimmicks in favor of a needle focus and finally, the boss fights are not very engaging. These are not huge points but for me, at any rate, they really hurt the adventure feel.
Don't get me wrong though - this is still a great game and definitely recommended to anyone looking for some neat platforming variety, it just feels like a step backwards from his previous production in some regards.

Challenging three-screen needle game consisting of multiple short saves with one or two difficult jumps in each. Most jumps aren't very generic or repetitive, so it might be an interesting experience for people that enjoy fangames of the sort. Just be warned that one of these saves (The mini-invert thing at the third save of the second screen) is way more precise than the others, and likely to get you stuck for quite a while. Nice visuals, nice music.
It's not bad at all. Would recommend, maybe, if you are into precise needle with short saves.

Rating based on version 1.1.
Nice floor game that starts out moderately challenging and gets really tough near the end. Changes visuals and musics every 5 floors, never failing to look or sound great. Plenty of interesting jumps (And some generic jumps mixed in, but none of which feels overused at all), somewhat solid difficulty curve, varied screen layouts (Including floors consisting of a single long save, floors with multiple saves consisting of a single challenging jump each, and floors that are somewhere in-between those categories). It also makes a really nice use of vines, water, platform jumps and jump refreshers, showcasing uses for those gimmicks I'd never seen before.
All in all, it's a really hard to dislike game. It's pretty challenging, but I highly recommend it if you are willing to grind some difficult needle.

Rating and difficulty based on games clear to secret (true) final boss. (And review have spoilers!)
This is very specific game. To clear game without secrets and get to one of three ''Thank you for playing!'' screens, you have to clear 6 needle world and 7 bosses.
In the beginning you have choise to choose to go up or down. Each of path have 3 needle segments and 3 bosses.
Upper path is basically standart needle, with standart IWBTG tileset and restarting guy rock (well every music in this game restarts...). Only third world has delicious-fruits in it. Bosses aren't anything special too.
Downer path are more interesting to speal about. Every of world have its specific gimmick and 2 of bosses use this gimmick too. First segment have water gimmick, but its boss doesn't have water, so its just usual rng boss (like all other bosses in this game..).Second segment have appearing and disappearing block gimmick (this gimmick was included in k1 by the way), and this gimmick make boss for this world pretty hard if there are bad rng. Third world have different kind of low and high gravity gimmick. It makes world pretty fun. Boss is easy if you know that you don't need to kill boss instantly, but need to shoot with one bullet each time, because after each damage, boss throws delicious-fruit burst.
When you have cleared all 6 worlds, you can access ''final boss'' which is pretty tough. It have very hard rng attacks, espicially at the end, however from first clear it is most fun boss to play.
Then you have ''Thank you for playing!'' screen, but it isn't normal clear ( as game says ), because to get normal clear, you need to fight secret final boss, which unlocks after finishing secret area, which unlocks after you get all 7 secret items.
For this clear main problems won't be with needle for sure , because it is basically filled with traps, but it doesn't make needle hard. Main problems will be wih bosses, because they are rng bosses, and sometimes rng can be retarted...
Secret items aren't very hard to get, but are very fun but hard to guess where they are if you play blind.
Secret area need to be cleared with just one save, however it isn't that hard and is fun!
I will update review after I will finish secret final boss, but anyway I would recommend maybe to play this game, because I had fun when I played this game,however it isn't great game to play too.

Well, it is 13th March 2019 and I cleared secret final boss. Should admit that even though my timer shows 4:42:51 in moment of clearing (and according to my stats I cleared normal final boss in 2:18:38), most of the time was played in 2017. Back then I couldn't beat the first blue fruit attack lol. Important detail is that boss didn't take too much now, and the fun fact is that I 1 time died attack before the part in avoidance where you have to do almost nothing for some time and when I got 2nd time, I didn't die there and I first tried everything after that (also after the first blue fruit attack I was in total only 2 times if I recall correctly lol). Still, avoidance was pretty fun so I will change rating from 5 to 7.3 and difficulty from 38 to 46. Yes, some attacks were pretty repetitive (especially intro) and maybe it could be more unique, but I would recommend to play this game just because of the secret final boss if you have enough skill. I don't know if I am going to beat all extra stuff, but if I will, then I will update review once more (also tag 'Long' is for secret final boss if what).

Easy needle game which would be particularly good for beginners. Looks nice and is relatively unique in terms of the needle.
