Current version: V1.1.10.23
This game is a rather long Adventure (or perhaps more accurately Needleventure) game using a variety of mostly standard gimmicks, with a couple of weird ones thrown in there. There is a story/narrative to the game, but you can opt to play without it if you so choose.
There are optional secrets, and obtaining them all unlocks some Extra content.
This project was a long time in the making, and I'm grateful to anyone that helped out or encouraged me along the way.
UPDATE: October 23rd: Made what I hope to be the final patch of the game - mostly minor fixes but also added some persistence to the Chapter 5a gimmick which should reduce some annoyance there.
UPDATE: September 27th: Some further changes made, mostly focused around the final boss.
UPDATE: September 20th: New update released with various balance changes. Details in included text file. Also fixed crashes introduced by patch
UPDATE: September 15th: Small update to fix some softlocks and an accidentally impossible route in 1 place. Larger balance fixes and overall adjustment coming later on.

I didn't finish the game yet. But what I played of it so far (up to the colour switch avoidance) was amazing and I would recommend it to anyone, a lot of love and care has been put into this game and it shines throughout.

Amazing needleventure game in the pre CN3 style. I love the ways that screens and pathing are used in this game. You'll find yourself navigating each screen every which way possible to get through, stimulating your brain while also being fun to navigate.
The boss fights are also a great change of pace, many with interesting gimmicks or fun setpieces. Unfortunately, the combination of hard platforming and hard bosses may end up acting as a filter for many who wish to play the game.
I believe this game is way harder than the average suggests on delicious fruit, by the end of stage 5 you'll really start clenching as you try to navigate super precise jumps and beat bosses and avoidances that you will believe are nearly impossible. I found the game to easily fit a mid 70s difficulty by stage 6. I do wish the game was a little bit easier, I think it starts at around a high 40-low 50 level, and the jump in difficulty is way too large for most players to adapt to in the process of playing the game. I also think some levels could have done with cutting screens, occasionally the game feels like it drags slightly, while every single screen feels like time was put into it and never feels like a waste or filler, too much of a good thing can still dilute a product.
All that being said, I think this is a nearly perfect fangame and is about as close to a 10/10 as I can see any hobbyist work coming to. I can easily see myself replaying this in the years to come. I believe this game is underplayed and deserves love from any advanced fangame players that are want to play a highly polished needleventure that, while less gimmicky than cn3 style games, still delivers neat tricks and fun fundamental design.
