every game i've left a rating or review on i have cleared.
clear list is only used for monumental or impactful clears, or my favourite clears.
(My favourite games tab is different to my clears tab).
I don't tend to give rating or difficulty values anymore, since it's meaningless and was demotivating to be placed alongside people who didn't play through the game, or can't tell the difference between a problem with the game or themselves.

conforming needle: yeah im challenging jumps
this game is really good actually, caught my attention randomly when going through delfruit and thought i'd give it a try and it turned out to be one of my favourite ftfa-like screens that i've played, and possibly my favourite for it's difficulty behind actual ftfa screens.
(almost) all the jumps in this have good visual cues, intuitive, good setups, and overall become very consistent, especially for a 32px needle game this is really impressive, the first 3 and last 2 jumps were personally my favourite, i did find the jump with a plane to be a bit iffy on quality, specifically the visual setup for the jump, but i don't even really think its *bad* just less great than the others. I should also mention that i took ~4h to clear, and, for ~3h 20m of that playtime i took the *wrong align* for that jump, and made it incomparably harder than it actually is, and struggled with it so so badly and got very mad at it when it was completely my fault :sob: < this also makes me unsure on the game's difficulty, because after finding out to not take that align i was able to get to the last 2 jumps every ~5-8 minutes or so, since every other jump is really well-designed and consistent.
I'm also mentioning that this game has backspace for valign and a really nice practice mode which just help add to the quality of it, overall it's just well made and a really good screen of difficult needle, and it's always a really good sight to see, the only real reason i'm not giving this a higher rating even though it's some of my favourite jumps & overall screen is because it's so short, it would be amazing to see more screens similar to this and it has a whole lot of potential imo.
Save 1: 6139 Deaths, Time: 02:33:44 (Intended)
Save 2: 3103 Deaths, Time: 01:11:11 (Practice) (i'm not lying about that number that's crazy)
+ ~20 min from remaking the screen in maker
12 deaths to the 2nd last jump, 5 deaths to the last jump

Rating Per Screen.
Screen 1: ~9.8, 70
Screen 2: ~10, 67
Screen 3: ~9.7, 75
Overall for First 3 Screens: 10, 78.
Screen 4 Rating:
0.25, 85.
Screen 4 is the worst singular needle screen i have Ever played.
Screen 4 does not get consistent. I have done s1, 2, 3 all 2 times in a row. I have not even been able to reclear screen 4 Once. I'm aware it has gotten consistent for some people, but you should never expect it to be the same for you. I did, and was disappointed when i found out that i will never be. I Would not recommend clearing this game. Just exit out at screen 4. Fuck screen 4.
Overall game rating (as of now):
3, 83
If you learn numpad and other things S1,2,3 are not too difficult. If s4 wasn't so ... I would give this game not even a 80 rating.
Old review:
Well. I really do love the first 2 screens, It is some of my favourite needle gameplay I have ever played and it got incredibly consistent incredibly quick, the third screen i kinda ... struggled with a lot, getting 39 last jump deaths, but I do think that is quite likely my fault, atleast definitely 10+ of them were on me. But if the 3rd screen does not have that issue for other players, it is also amazing and other than the last jump it is also very consistent and fun :)
And then there is the 4th screen. No. It's abhorrent. I would love to give this a higher rating in quality but with good faith I just can't, it burns even more that the game is such a masterpiece in my eyes only to be pulled down in quality so badly with the single worst screen I have ever had the pure misfortune of playing, it is vastly different in design to all the prior screens, having little setups and the jumps are painful and inconsistent to play, I have heard from deathless players that S4 does get consistent, but i'd imagine only a long while *after* you clear it for the first time. All the water jumps are horrible, and the screen delves completely away from the gameplay it builds upon the first 3 screens. I also think it is by far the hardest screen, taking me ~5h or so to clear, while the first 2 screens only took ~3h in total, and the 3rd being ~3.5h.
It's worth mentioning i did this as a hardest clear, I also do not recommend this because it makes the 4th screen also more painful and you will spend longer amounts of time on it compared to if you improve and do this at a later time. That is why my difficulty rating is also not great, I will update it later though.
In conclusion, if you are going to try to clear this, i'd highly recommend booking a therapist appointment in advance because you will most likely need it after playing the 4th screen.

I really liked this game, some checkpoints are a decent bit harder than others, some really easy, but that's okay because the game is really fun to play and it's not crazy unbalanced and it has some nice gameplay, one of my favourites and overall a good time :)!
I did only give it a 67 in difficulty because i think most checkpoints are quite easy, numpad makes some things easier and I don't feel as if it is too much of a challenge
