Evil needle game
I'll keep it real, I didn't enjoy this game all that much. It's fine visually, it's fine to look at and i presume it's not really meant to do all much with it's inspiration so it's all fine, no real problems in that department. However, considering the game's length and et cetra you'd expect it to be pretty decent in the gameplay department, to which in my opinion I think it is certainly not. Starting off with the good, the middle row contains some pretty cool and fun jumps, the valign dependent 12f is quite good, the 4f afterwards is also a personal favourite, very good jump, and the 2 jumps after that are both quite nice aswell. Sadly you never really get to play and enjoy these jumps because 95% of playtime will be spent on the first 2 jumps (or pretty much the first row), as especially the 2nd jump contains the majority of the whole game's difficulty, and also so much frustration. This jump in particular is so awkward and arbitrary, for example the movement presses just feel vague and off, it certainly doesn't help that it's from a bad align ledge too, but my main problem with the jump is that it's so difficult to get better at it. It seems like you die in practically the same position if you do the 15f jump height but mess up the movement left press by 1f too late, to if you did the movement perfectly but a 14f. Those 2 deaths look the same, and many other deaths have that same problem such as delaying the left press by 1f too late, etc, it makes it so damn hard to actually improve muscle memory at the jump since it's difficult to tell how you actually died other than intuition. I also just didn't find it fun, it never truly got consistent for me and pair it with the first jump which isn't bad but the bad align ledge gets a bit annoying at times just makes for an incredibly frustrating and boring experience where you die to the first 2 jumps repeatedly. As mentioned, the 2nd jump is by far the hardest jump in the game, it's kind of insane how difficult it is, it's absurd, this jump alone is harder than the entire top row, so the game's balanced in a way where everything past said jump feels like an extension to the jump as a result, it doesn't feel like your playing the rest of the game more does it feel like your playing the jumps past the 2nd, it turns the 2nd jump into the focal point of the whole gameplay. I wouldn't really recommend this, some good jumps in the middle especially but it's not worth it to clear over, even moreso that you won't even really experience the good parts as you'll be stuck playing that one jump over and over again. I have beef with that one jump. It's personal.

Consistency 32px precision needle.
The window has a subpixel display. It's not needed but can help make the 8th jump more lenient.

Silly Lap Around-like needle save. It has some pretty inconsistent jumps and stuff where you rely more on vibes than any actual set up, but it's mostly what you could expect from this type of save. The difficulty balance is very front loaded which is a little annoying, but it gets a bit better with time. Considering I tend to really like this kind of needle I wasn't super thrilled with this game but it's not bad, just a bit janky and awkward to play.
