The game looks really good and most of the stages play very nice. But, floor 18 (the fruit avoidance) and floor 25 (the mouse controlled laser puzzle) were such horrible parts of the game. Also the last stage's gimmick could have been actually explained, but after I got it, I found it to be pretty fun.

While this game is far from perfect, I can't help but really enjoy how many ideas are present here even if they don't always get executed in the best ways. Gimmicks like the black and white pool stage, the beat blocks thing reminiscent of newer 3D mario games or even Celeste, and the cherry cycle stage were a lot of fun. Some places like the laser stage or some of the early needle could be improved, a lot of the pure platforming when no gimmicks isn't the best. Still, if you can look past the flaws this game has, I really do think it has a lot to love.

This is definitely an... interesting game, to say the least. There's a lot of really cool ideas, and the production value is crazy (the readme has a giant list of credits for shaders)! I unfortunately think a lot of the gameplay is pretty hit or miss, though that's not to say it's all bad.
My biggest issue is the rooms not resetting, it really ruins the cycle gameplay. The apple cycle stage and laser stage where quite abhorrent. Everything else is pretty good, although a lot of stuff still didn't feel particularly engaging.

Overall great experience. Screens 11-15 were really bad gameplay-wise (also the camera constantly changing is really annoying), and screens 41-45 were really bad visual-wise (ouch my eyes).
All the other screens are decent to great

This is a pretty interesting Needle game with a lot of variety. Unfortunately, it ended up being incredibly unfun to me, next to one of the worst needle games I've ever played, and that is mainly due to one singular stage that soured the whole experience.
The zoomed-in trials needle stage with limited lives was probably the one of the worst stages I've ever played in a needle game. It's absolutely irredeemable and completely demolishes anything this game has to offer. You'd think the concept of including such a zoom would be followed with easier jumps, instead, it has some of the hardest in the game that plays like absolute trash, shit like awful platform jumps inside of two spikes, a random plane jump just thrown in the middle of a screen, and a variety of other stuff. It's truly baffling how a stage like this could make it through playtesting and not be completely axed.
The apple stage afterwards is mostly nice, but then the laser stage once again made me want to delete the game, so I did. Visuals aren't enough when the gameplay feels like absolute garbage.
Would not recommend it, the rest seems pretty interesting but that zoomed-in shit alone is enough to ruin the game.
