Rating based on "bad" end (ie without doing the avoidance no checkpoints style)
This game was really good! Its full of fun and creative ideas, the game has a nice atmosphere to it and overall it was pretty fun.
However I do have a few bones to pick with this game, some going from minor to actually making this game not a 10 for me.
First of all, the game is not very colorblind friendly at parts, which kinda made some segments more annoying than they really needed to be for me (upper puzzle near the end and the rainbow apples at the avoidance come to mind). No real big issue though.
Then, I want to cover the overall wonkiness of the ice area, and by that I mean the weird ass physics (which honnestly aren't an issue at all once you figure out that its not supposed to work like normal ice), the weird hitboxes on the ice spikes (why are they rectangles that pop out of the sprite?) and the killer snowflakes that blend in with the background and are kinda hard to see. Again no real big issue, it doesnt affect enjoyment that much I found.
However, there is one last issue I had with this game, one which ultimately killed the romantic love I had for this game and that is the avoidance at the end. Yes, it does give really nice closure to the game. Yes, it is visually stunning and has a super nice song. That doesnt excuse it for being actively unfun though, with a few segments that are super tight for no reason and just make the avoidance a pain. You would say that it doesnt matter since the first time you get checkpoints and the avoidance itself isnt that hard, but I still didnt find much joy in playing through it, apart from maybe appreciating the spectacle, and even then, to get the good ending you need to do the avoidance again without checkpoints which, while I tried, just isnt my thing. Most people seem to enjoy this avoidance somehow anyways (though the rest of the game is so good I dont feel it detracts too much from my rating)
Overall, this game somewhat reminded me of crimson. Take that as you may.

Most of what I could say has already been said, so I wont indulge on it too much, but the game has a really sweet ambience, the puzzles, the platforming and bosses were pretty stellar (apart from the first phase of the final boss, which is admittedly kinda shit) and it's overall the kind of stuff I want to see more of.
Its good, go play it already.

Rating doesn't include extra (though it seems very fun)
An absolute masterpiece, there is absolutely nothing in this game I don't love. From the fantastic needle that makes the absolute most of what the 32 pixel grid can do, offering a very fun consistency acquisition experience, to the stellar music choices, that make for an overall super compelling concise journey.
This is probably my second favorite fangame; I wish more games were like it.

Pretty fun 32px vineplatformwater69 needle by this cool baron fella. Was overall really good however the first screen was pretty bad and harder than anything in the game, the contrast between the vines and everything else is just utter garbage visually and I probably would have like this game more if it was only red stage but longer. Check it out, its pretty gooberini, specially for what it is
