I rewrite this review, because i think it was messy originally, so i will try to be more brief. I probably can say this game is worth to play, if you excluded floors that started with 76F, because they are all bad and unbalanced (for example 99F harder than 100F) with not that many exceptions. 92F is fucking dreadful, very bad representaion of meme core, definitely one of the worst needle experience i've ever had; i also dislike 82F second save very much; 80F while being iconic was also pretty meh, because of the first jumps

The mid of the game (30-70) was very highpoint tho imo, still one of the best old vanilla needle i've played. Overall, i'd say this game is interesting challenge that can sharp your needle skills (as it was for me), but if you wanna really fun game, that will never disappoint you, just play sequel, it's way better in probably all possible ways, from more nice visuals and diverse music to much more balanced and polished gameplay

This is game is a marathon of medium-very hard needle. Its pretty relaxing to just turn it on and spam shift/R in a half-hour session.

I have sinked in many hours in this game and the only downside I have experienced so far are the music choices which are not my taste. I didn't really mind and just pressed Ctrl+M to play my own.

If you are going to play this game. Please keep in mind that the difficulty is a complete rollercoaster. All in all, this game is extremely long, has a lot of variety in spikejumps and is extremely hard in the later parts.

I'm not a big fan of all the hype (why is a speedrun version even a thing?) but this game is something you should have played if you are an experienced plattformer.

An all-around pretty terrible experience. While I can appreciate the historical context of this game being more ambitious than the needle games that came before it, as well as the tributes to other fangames through the different tilesets, and this being Kale's first fangame, the end result is not very fun to play through. I struggle to find any positive things about my playthrough of this game besides the abruptly ending music and wacky difficulty balancing sometimes making me laugh. In addition to being largely uninteresting and unbalanced, there are numerous jumps that feel horrible to execute. The final floor alone encapsulates this, having one precise hard jump and the rest of the jumps being basic needle jumps to choke on.

I would not recommend playing this, but if for whatever reason you insist on playing it I would recommend playing the speedrun version (which I did not play) which nerfs a few things, although most of the nerfs are pretty minor (except for floor 92) and a lot of the issues of the main game are still present.
