Very good jtool needle with different shorts stages, tho they are all focused on water maneuvers. A few saves end with dumb shit but the overall game is really solid (just sad that there is a game over music when ost is such a banger), would recommend.

Fantastic needle game, every jump felt cool as hell to pull off. I appreciated how the jumps never got tighter but the saves got farther apart, it felt like a really natural difficulty progression. Overall banger I had a great time with.

20 screens of solid jtool needle with an emphasis on pathing. It starts off pretty easy, then later on removes saves without much (if any) reduction in precision, so try not to be lured into a false sense of security if you struggle with needle at this difficulty. The water sections are pretty fun, especially the ones where you're stringing together water2 and water3 in short sequences. Would recommend to needle players.

5-stage needle game. I heard it had really fun water maneuvers so I played it. Stage 1 is literally just raw needle. Stage 2 introduces the water and maybe vines (though vines were definitely in stages 3-5). Stage 1 wasn't really interesting. Stage 2 wasn't much interesting but was serviceable excepting the double corner near the end of the stage. Like 95% of stages 3-5 were utterly fantastic. They're designed around water and vine maneuvers exclusively. There are no platform jumps or jump refreshers anywhere. I'm a big fan of the majority of the design in these stages. There were a few out-of-place precision jumps throughout the game though with the worst one being the dip into corner weave up into plane thing as the very last save of the game. There were also slopes and catharsis water in stage 3 which were welcome. Yeah this leaves me in a weird spot where you have to play a bit to get to the good stuff and there are random precise jumps that break the flow of things. If the game was only stages 3-5 and had no random precision jumps it would be an immediate recommendation but with those things I'm not sure. I guess I would say that if you have a bit of patience the game is absolutely worth checking out. If you aren't then pass on it. Oh yeah I forgot to mention but I like the visuals and the song picks. Stage 1 and 2 visuals are kinda basic though.

Pretty good precision needle overall but has two annoying problems.

There a bunch of saves where you can easily die to a spike on the next save while walking into the warp, which I can only imagine was done on purpose for comedic value. But even if it wasn't it's extremely annoying.

And there are plenty of saves that start with pointless full jumps or double full jumps before making you do the actual hard jumps. If the save point in those instances was placed after these filler jumps the game would have been much less frustrating to play.
