Fun even if disappointingly short, it's a bit different from hyoka older games which were more about pathing, here it's a more classic needle game about jumps themselves.

For a surprise release from the makers of one of my favorite simple needle games (I Wanna Cigarette) this was a bit of a disappointment. For one thing, it's an unpatched gm8 game with no native fullscreen and the K2 save bug in 2023. While I appreciate working in nostalgic environments to a degree, these quality of life features are just annoying to be without in the current day and age.

Aside from that, it feels like the game barely gets going before it's over, and my favorite screen of all the ones played was the final one. Up to that the needle felt more rudimentary and annoying than pleasant to go through. The water implementation was a nice nod, but it felt mostly basic until the very end of the game where it finally started to come to life.

The tileset and presentation are nostalgic in general, but you also have things like saves that are placed more than a block away from the start of a jump, and final jumps that feel like they're simply more precise than the rest of the save just because. None of it was upsettingly difficult, and might be good for beginners, but it didn't scratch that 'nostalgic easy needle' itch that it seemed to set out to, at least for me.
