I always like seeing early games from creators, because even if they're rough they usually feel a bit less constrained by the "rules". This game features weird layouts and chaotic design that you don't often see in higher quality needle games.
That being said, the needle still isn't very good. It's awkward, with needlessly precise jumps at times. E.G. one screen just has a straight up diamond at the end of a save.
The boss is... alright...
There's only two attacks, which felt slightly too long each. Also, the phase change and death sound effects were so loud they legitimately jumpscared me. That's not exactly pleasant.

A short needle game with some minor gimmicks, like one gravity focused screen. I appreciate it trying new things from time to time, like the final screen being a more precision focused save, but it's still relatively simple.

Short needle game with some minor gimmicks like triggers or apples that shoot at you. I like the way every screen felt like a new idea, with everything from a gravity pathing screen to a one jump precision screen. It made the game feel fresh all the way through. I think some of the jumps can be a bit awkward, with some random bits that are overly precise. As an example, the screen with spike walls chasing you has its last save open with an annoying "tap off the ledge in front of a spike" jump.
This game is a sequel of sorts to "I wanna Stay or Go". It does a lot of the same things as that game, but adds a few more interesting things (like the aforementioned shooting apples).

Fun Needle game. Nothing stands out as beautiful or perfect, but it was pretty enjoyable. Gets better with each hub floor i'd say, Tuhka stage was probably the best for me, but also JGB, Electric and Plasma stages were fun. Ipecac and Habluka stages were a bit meh on the other side. Game was also not insanely hard for me, infamous JGB last save took me like 10 minutes lol and in general i don't remember i get stuck hardly anywhere

I actually thought this was decent. Just 2 stages of some simple needle. I like the smaller boxes the first stage uses, this kind of design always makes needle a bit more interesting. Each stage ends with a more precision focused screen, this was a cute way to spice it up a little and they weren't hard enough to be frustrating!

A short collab with three stages, each a collab between Chance and another maker. The needle sections are pretty short and simple, but decently fun. Right stage needle is a bit harder, and sometimes it can be hard to tell where to go. However, I really like seeing unique layouts like this, attempting a more chaotic design was cool.
The bosses are fun touhou bullet hells. Left had some really fun dodges and cool attacks. Then middle was my favorite, and also the hardest. It had several phases, each with some intense attacks that were really fun to avoid.
Overall, a fun collab with simple needle and cool bosses. Would recommend for fans of touhou style boss design!
