Good 3-stage needle game. There are lots of contrasting opinions on this game, which I think really illustrates how much people's preferences differ. I think each stage is pretty solid within its scope, with Ywave making some more precise needle, 5637 managing to create interesting pathing and nothing too generic for 32-pixel grid needle, and jic using air vines in simple (and relatively intuitive) ways.
Ywave's stage could probably have benefitted from better difficulty balancing, 5637's stage could have been shorter, and jic's stage could have included some of the more challenging air-vine sections earlier in a few segments. The game itself could be improved by removing the intro screen and having the title card move positions if the player is in the same quadrant so it's never obstructive.
I'd give a soft recommend to players who don't mind a variety of different needle styles or are skilled enough to quickly beat the stuff here they don't enjoy.

Ywave: Precise jtool needle, second part is a homage to I Wanna Hydrate. Would have preferred an entire stage based around Catharsis water tbh. By far the hardest stage.
SCP5637: Has some interesting pathing, but doesn't really use the 32px grid very well. Jumps are generic or annoying, nothing in between.
jicforgot: Very cool usage of floating vines, liked this stage a lot conceptually. Would probably have preferred shorter saves with more precise maneuvers but it's still pretty enjoyable.
The title cards were pretty obnoxious and obscured the visuals on some saves.

A game that starts with a single screen and then you get thrown into a hub with 3 different areas made by different makers.
Ywave's stage was really fun, simple and chill needle.
Jic's stage was easily my favourite, I loved the use of vines here and hope to see more like this in the future.
In contrast I couldn't handle 5637's stage, not my type of needle and way too hard for my liking. I'm giving this game a rating ignoring this stage otherwise the rating would go way down and the difficulty would go way up.
