It is enjoyable for the most part (well, half of it), but let me state something before anything:
The death sound sucks. It just sucks. You have no idea how much it sucks. Like, it sucks. It is louder than anything. You die and you hear a loud "PIGHHFFTT!!!". It just sucks. It frustrated me to no end.
There are issues with the overall sound too. The soundtrack is nice (nothing groundbreaking or even better than other fangames that have made terrific soundtrack choices), but the volume is sometimes too low and then it is way off. Like, why? I mostly played with a low volume so that whenever it was pumped up, it didn't sound too hard. Of course, during the lowest parts, you could almost hear a thing.
These are two huge handicaps that you are meant to endure during the entire game. For being a 2012 game, the design is cool-looking, with RNG for coloring the spikes during the first areas. Color schemes are pleasant and never eye-punishing. The first stages are the best, with creative jumps that never got boring and great designs, my favorite being the very first part. Actually, the first part had tons of optional harder routes, most of them consisting of corner jumps, and I gladly took them. It was faster and more challenging. There is even a part where you can skip half of the screen doing a double corner jump upwards, and I happily did it. I love games with alternate routes for optional challenge. That is ok for difficulty standards, but this takes me to the next topic:
The difficulty curve is such a gigantic mess. There were rough edges here and there with substantially easier intermissions. I had no idea what to expect, because I would die dozens of times in a screen and only 1 or 2 times at the next, and sometimes, in the same screen, I would die much more to a save than to the next one. Extremely inconsistent.
Finally, we have the maze, where most of the complaints come from and, ironically, I didn't mind it as bad. It was fun to explore. It was a challenge and nothing substantially cryptic because I took the correct route the first time and ALMOST did what was intended, but took another false exit. The rest of the times I explored all other possible false exits, lol. I did waste my chances, and facepalmed later for "that" route that I had missed in my first try. Dang.
I would recommend it if sound issues aren't a huge thing for you. I might sound like too picky, but my ears resented the experience the entire time and it wasn't cool at all. If it had been a momentary issue, this would have a higher rating.
Recommended? Yeah, but not begginers, but for newbies looking for a harder challenge.

This is needle game contents 5 needle stages with different tilesets (and in the end of fifth one is maze). Strangely but hardest ones are first and fifth stage.
First stage is stage where is white background, transparent blocks with black outline and colourful spikes. This stage have some precize jumps and annoying saves (mostly hardest one, is full of different corners). Saves aren't very short or long, just normal save length.
Second stage have blue background with 2 tones of red color. Here you can meet more shorter saves, but saves are easier than in first stage.
Third stage have blue background, yelow spikes, and interesting block design. In this stage there is not only usual spike shape, but is square spike too, but still second and third stage is same difficulty. In this sage used quite strange system with save blockers (sometimes they are, but sometimes they aren't).Save length is simillar to second stage.
Fourth stage have grey background,transparent blocks with blue outside and colourful spikes. Difficulty is little bit higher than 2nd and 3rd stage, but still it isn't much harder. In this stage are quite a lot short saves with just few jumps. This stage have strange mechanic with save blocker too.
Fifth stage is probably hardest one, which is black and white style stage. This stage have circle spikes, square spikes and usual spikes. For me the most problem was with saves where you need to jump from block through all kind of spike shape gates (and for each one is save). The most problem was with circle and square shaped gates, because I played on other pc with bad keyboard, so I needed to do jump cancels... That was horrible... Thank god, this stage has best music in game, so I could play and enjoy at least music... Maze wasn't too big problem, however I didn't played it blind, because I have seen it before, so I knew what to do there...
Overall I recommend this game for everyone, because it is very nice and fun to play, but if you have such bad keyboard as me, then maybe don't play, if you don't really know how to do cancel jumps, because that will be painful... But yeah, how I said before, I recommend to play this decent needle game, because it have good music, unusual jumps and nice designs!

When it comes to needle games, making it unique is one the most important aspects and this game is no exception. Also before I continue, I am actually amazed at how long this game is; when first getting into this game, I thought it was going to be a relatively short experience but damn was I wrong. This is a long ass game so be warned if you ever play it.
The game itself is loaded with unique jumps and cool needle shapes later on like squares and circles. It is very hard to pinpoint what this game does right, but it does a lot right for sure. If you like needle and want a new experience, this is a good start. And I didn't think I would ever say this, but the maze at the end was incredibly fun.
