Rating based on normal mode, will someday come back and do hard mode.

It's pretty good, just wish the spike switching part was shorter, as I felt it dragged on. It's pretty cool that some screens have multiple routes, but most of the time they're just not worth taking.

This game was truly ahead of its time. Gimmicky gameplay was definitely a thing back in 2013, but this game has so much variety that it truly stands out from other needle games from the early 10s. What truly makes this game exceptional is the amount of focus on artistic design. The atmosphere is really strong throughout the game, and there are some really bold screens that feel like they have an artistic purpose (like the platform screen). There are some annoyances, such as jumps that require low inputs, but overall this was a really interesting experience, and I'm definitely glad that this is the direction that a lot of modern needle makers decided to take.

Some screens full of low-frame jumps, thats why it get hard on membrane KB. That was painful in the moment, but other parts of game is really incredible designed.

Soundtrack making this game level higher.
