I feel weird calling this game one of my favorites of all time, but it's an 8/10.
This game has a lot of intentionally bad stuff going on with it, like shift being jump bcuz of sticky keys, the maze-like level design, the traps everywhere, there being zero leniency to anything in it. Everything about it is against the player.
Nothing should work in paper but in practice, Kayin was able to make a surprisingly fun and memorable experience that everyone should at least play once.

I especially like the atmosphere of the beginning stages. Looks like the author tries to tell us his story about i wanna making.

Needle collab with a pretty large variety of stages, spanning a pretty big range of difficulty levels, meaning that even if you can't beat the game, you can probably get some enjoyment out of it. I don't think any stages are bad but there's a few that didn't leave a super strong impression even if they were pleasant to go through. The ones that did stand out as especially good to me were Cosmos, Love Blossom, Colorful Party, and Slice of Life Needle 2, although a few others were also quite nice. I think the first three I listed all just feel really good to play, although the last one definitely sticks out the most, it's made by Lapla and it's by far the hardest stage, although it was also my favorite. It definitely feels like the centerpiece of the game since it took up almost half of my playtime. The stage has amazing pathing and some really cool jumps, I had fun with every save and it's just so clever, I think it's worth playing the game just for this one. Overall it's a pretty solid needle collab that deserves a bit more attention, give it a try.

Wolfie's Magnum Opus and it delivers high of course. Beautifully crafted needle and solid use of gimmicks.

I don't deny that this is a well made game overall. But this is unfortunately the weakest of the FM Blind race game series for me.
Following will discuss the game content:
I found some of the gimmicks to felt clunky like in Megaman X and how it forces you to use the dashing effectively. It was much for my fingers and even when using right ctrl, the clunkiness was felt as I had to press again every time I hit the ground. Doesn't help if you stop midair or water, you can't do it until you land.
But what ruined the mood for me was the Metroid Stage. It was such a slog to play through with the same loop and dragged on for way too long compared to the other stages. Even The End is Nigh, the only stage comparable in length, didn't over stay its welcome as it was simple. Metroid alone would have been a 2-3/10 unfortunately.
Regardless, if you can stomach the more abrasive parts, I think the game is decent and worth recommending. But I don't want to go through it again. It's a shame since I liked the previous two games, run the Marathon and warp the Worlds. I have yet to play stop the Simulation as of writing but I hope it gets better.

How did this game fly under the radar? It's pretty cool! Though I'll admit, haven't beat the first level
