Rating includes 'secrets' and the extra.
3-screen needle game. The first screen is of your choice, it can be either, the 'secret' (At the download link you'll also find a image telling you where the secret is. I wonder what's even the point of making it a secret) or the normal screen. The second one is the extra, which is fairly easier than the secret (Aside from one specific save), and the last one is the "True Final Jump - Octa-Diagonal", which is actually a hexadiagonal with a double diagonal below (It's still hard, though).
The difficulty curve is horrible, but the game is still somewhat decent. Most of the difficulty comes from the jumps involving corners. Hardly anything I would recommend.

Very nice fangame. Good visuals, nice music, some nice bosses. Mainly good visuals. There are 6 stages split into 3 paths. You start with 2 paths unlocked, and you must beat both to reach the last path. The starting paths have one boss each, while the last one has two, one for each stage.
The left path is a bit weak. I like the visual of the second stage, but gameplay-wise it's pretty generic, as it's full of nothing but traps and generic needle. What I really liked was the right path. The visuals are amazing, and the jumps are more creative than in the left path (Left path's jumps aren't creative, actually), and the main part: There is a portal maze at the end of the second stage of this path, a really frustrating one. The boss isn't amazing, but it's nice, and forces you to move more than the one at the left path.
The penultimate stage loses a lot on the visuals. It's too simple, and doesn't really fit. The boss does a better job at it. Gameplay-wise, the situation is inverted. The stage is fairly fun, with screens of simple needle, followed by gigantic versions of the same screens, while the boss forces you to stand at a small platform dodging a lot of stuff while trying to kill him. The difficulty flag raises with this boss, but it's still plain tedious.
The last stage is very, very cool. It mixes the tilesets of all the previous stages into one, with a fitting background, in a big spiral screen. Nothing particularly hard, but then you reach the last boss. And here comes another difficulty leap.
The boss is a lot harder than it seems. His casting speed increases as his HP decreases, and after a while he's releasing simultaneous attacks (His huge amount of chasing attacks only makes things worse). He borrows attacks from all the previous bosses, and uses them in a more effective way, in a more effective screen. He has other tricks under his sleeve as well. Basically, he turns the 'dream' into a nightmare. But even so, it's still quite fun.
This game has plenty of ups and downs. If you don't mind the 'downs', I recommend it.

For: I wanna be the Venus
For: I wanna be the Venus
I Wanna be the Venus is an above-average difficulty needle game with a nice relaxing vibe. For me, this was a good introduction to tougher needle, because it features a variety of really tough jumps, but the saves are pretty short. Combined with the chill music and tileset, this makes for a forgiving setting for beginners to practice some more difficult jumps.
There's not much to say about this one other than that. There are no bosses, no gimmicks whatsoever, no traps, just pure platforming. It's not too long, and can definitely be completed in one sitting if you have a little bit of experience under your belt.

For: I wanna be the Showdown
For: I wanna be the Showdown
Showdown is a short, fairly easy 50-floor game that takes place in a reduced play area. 1 screen = 1 save, and your progress is saved automatically when you reach a new screen. Like I Wanna be the GreeeeN by the same author, many of the screens employ a gimmick. Just to name a few, you will see spikes along the outer walls that track and shoot at you, a giant apple that chases when you look away, and spikes with a thwomp mechanic(Mario influence noted). This makes the game feel nice and fresh throughout, as you're never doing the same thing over and over. There are also 2 bosses, which are both kinda easy, but the second one is a lot more satisfying that the first.
This game has a higher graphical production value than the other two P games, partially aided by the reduced play area, which lends itself better to the short-form gimmick-based platforming P is known for. This is framed in what looks like an etch-a-sketch, which, alongside the lullaby style music, hearkens back to a sense of child-like wonder.
Overall, I think this game improves on the formula of GreeeeN, and I would suggest Showdown in place of it. The game is enjoyable throughout for beginners and even somewhat experienced players (not that I would know. Kappa), with a small lull which is the first boss.

Nice needle game. It's quite innovative, because of the forced zoom gimmick, and the platforming addapts to this gimmick, making even a small maze at a certain screen, and the visuals allowed me to look at the game (Had it been another tileset or another background, I doubt I would be able to). The saves are well-placed, as well. I had a fair share of fun with this one.
That said, the zoom still nearly got me blind. The gimmick is good in theory, and when applied it can be good to a certain extent. However, it turns the game into a memory game with needles. Many times, you can't plan ahead because you don't know what is ahead of you, and because of that, you have to die, die and die again to learn the spike placement. Also, the zoom makes everything harder. Because the game looks so weird, you'll end up jumping weirdly and dying at easy jumps for no reason at all.
The game is good, but the zoom hurts the sight. For the sake of your eyesight, I wouldn't recommend it.

The platforming is garbage, but most of the bosses are really good, especially the robot and the final boss. It has some amusing trolls here and there, but most of the traps fall into the category of typical "spike trigger/fake block" crap. If you can overlook the stupid platforming segments (which aren't hard, by the way, just annoying), I would recommend checking this out.

Minimalistic style. Three short stages, plus a final area, all of them with a boss at the end. The only challenge is the RNG at the final boss.

Fun needle game. Nice music (Doesn't restart), no death sound (Always welcome), and the level design is decent. The use of gimmicks is minimal, making it fair, and the same goes for the traps. The last jump is a invert. However, if you're not good with ledges, I don't recommend this game, since there is a screen where you have to do two ledges in a row. But if you like needle games, and don't mind ledges, I recommend this one.
