A really unique and atmospheric needle game, almost bordering on horror-genre in terms of visuals and style, although it is simply at its core a needle game. It left me very entertained and the constant mix-up of visuals and music kept things fresh, as well as the wacky design which made for some very satisfying needling. Would recommend giving this one a shot, as there aren't many needle games like it.

Nice game, but I wasn't quite fond of level 6, it felt way too hard compared to rest of the game and I thought background&graphics were bland. And the ending was a bit anticlimactic. Other than that this a fantastic game. We need more games like this. I have to mention the awesome and fitting soundtrack too.

As with all of Dopamine's games, this is a vibey needle game with a focus on tight, uncomfortable jumps. I love the vibes early on, the use of colors and unsettling backgrounds is great. I did feel like the later stages lost the plot on aesthetics a bit, with kinda typical screen layouts. The needle is fun, but the difficulty curve is very harsh, with the very easy opening stages quickly becoming some quite hard saves. I felt like a couple of the hardest saves were a bit much, this style of jump can quickly become annoying when it's taking you too long.

Still, overall a definite recommendation for fans of aesthetic-oriented needle games.

Fascinating experience, although some of the needle design is questionable.
