Somehow this game has no text reviews, despite starting a new subgenre of needle.
Needle Butterfly has exactly what you'd expect from its successors—a couple one-jump screens flanking the two main screens. The platforming is precise, the difficulty-balance is all over the place, and the jumps aren't particularly creative nowadays, but for 2012, it's pretty interesting.
I suspect the quadruple water invert at the end of the game led to high initial difficulty ratings, which is understandable. Take the difficulty ratings with a grain of salt on either end of the spectrum, as the difficulty of such jumps is highly dependent on controls and knowledge.

genre-defining needle game that is somewhat enjoyable even today. the jumps are generally satisfying despite their questionable balancing. by this I mean the hardest save is right at the beginning of the game - the 3rd one (or the quadruple water invert, depends how good you are at those). it's surprisingly fun to run through on top of being revolutionary for 2012
